I can't argue whether it is legal or not in Ontario however there seems to be some dispute as to whether it actually is or not. Here is a thread on the subject in another forum.

What would be helpful in these types of discussions would be a link or at least a citation to an actual code. I don't know how law enforcement works in Canada but I would assume that like in the United States if a ticket is issued then it must reference the code violation that it is being written for.
