Ontario Judge Grants 10-Day Injunction Against Honking

A judge in Ontario has issued a 10-day injunction against honking in Ottawa.

CANADA –  Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean has granted a 10-day injunction to prevent truckers parked on city streets in downtown Ottawa from honking their horns incessantly.

McLean said Monday the injunction is temporary because he needs to hear more evidence, but that he has heard enough to make this ruling as a protest against COVID-19 pandemic measures continues to paralyze the national capital around Parliament Hill.

[…] McLean said he heard enough evidence that the continual blaring of horns was having an effect on residents that their right for “quiet, if we can use that term,” trumped the honking truckers’ right to protest.  […] the court is slated to hear more evidence on how the injunction will be enforced.  (read more)
