Lots of people do it all the time though, sounds like OP was unlucky here.
This is why I was somewhat confused as outside of urban areas you can make a left turn across double yellows but in an urban area you can only cross a single yellow.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) and unless prohibited by a traffic control device, a person driving a vehicle may, whether within or outside of an urban area, drive the vehicle on a highway so as to cross a single solid line or, if outside an urban area, a double solid line for the following purposes:

(a) when necessary to turn left onto a highway or into a private road or driveway;

(b) when necessary on entering the highway from a private road or driveway;

(c) when necessary to enter a parking lane on the right side of the centre line.
