If they ask you should tell the truth. Don’t ever voluntarily give them information though

You are not under any obligation to answer questions during a traffic stop.

All you have to do is tell them who you are and provide identification/insurance. And in some provinces you need to take a breathalyzer test.

For anything else the response is "I'm sorry officer, I don't answer questions on the side of the road."
