An Ontario judge has temporarily banned the Freedom Convoy from honking their horns in downtown Ottawa — the truckers responded with more honking.
Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean issued a 10-day injunction to prevent the Freedom Convoy truckers from honking their horns in downtown Ottawa, saying residents have a right to “quiet, if we can use that term.”
From Toronto Sun:
Paul Champ, a lawyer representing central Ottawa residents in a proposed multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit, had argued the loud and prolonged honking is causing irreparable harm.
Keith Wilson, representing three of the respondents in the case, had told McLean the ruling on the injunction would carry national importance.
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 Freedom Convoy responded to the judge’s honk ban by, you guessed it — honking.
After a judge ruled that honking is now illegal in Ottawa, the truckers responded by honking.

This comes after the Freedom Convoy’s occupation of Ottawa extends into its 10th day.
The continuous honking by the truckers have led some residents to a breaking point, with some meltdowns over the noise captured on video.
Ottawa’s NCP (Gov’t official) has legendary saying he hasn’t slept in 5 days because of the honking from the truck convoy.
I tried not to enjoy watching this.
I failed.

Is this a peaceful protest? What if you lived here, and this was going on from early in the morning until late at night, how would you feel? #Ottawa pic.twitter.com/oIhVKCYjur

Interesting to see the Canadian legal system at work: you’re free to enjoy “quiet” in Canada, but not free to decide whether to put an experimental mRNA vaccine into your body.

Honkers are the most oppressed minority on this planet right now. pic.twitter.com/5IVlbeDRPm
