Judge Bans Honking in Downtown Ottawa for at Least the Next 10 Days
Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean on Monday (Feb. 7) granted a 10-day injunction that bans truckers parked in downtown Ottawa from honking their horns.
Judge McLean said the injunction is temporary because he needs to hear more evidence and “myriad of people” may still wish to come before the court to be heard.
However, McLean said he has already heard enough evidence to know the continual blaring of horns was having an effect on residents and that their right for “quiet, if we can use that term,” trumped the honking truckers’ right to protest.
The hearing adjourned and the court is slated to hear more evidence on how the injunction will be enforced.
Ottawa Targets Freedom Convoy Fuel Supply
Authorities in Canada have clamped down on the trucker protests by seizing fuel under the protection of snipers, and threatening to arrest anyone offering “material support” to the convoy.
Sunday’s declaration of a state of emergency has allowed Ottawa to cut through red tape, and facilitate supplies to law enforcement, according to Mayor Jim Watson. He added the crisis was “the most serious emergency our city has ever faced.”
Seven arrests have been made as of Sunday evening, with 60 criminal investigations launched for mischief, theft, hate crimes and property damage.
BREAKING: Dr. Paul Alexander, Other Doctors, and Canadian Truckers Hold Press Conference From Ottawa
Dr. Paul Alexander, Dr. Roger Hodkinson, other doctors, and several Canadian truckers just held an emergency press conference from Ottawa on COVID-19 vaccines, informed consent, the importance of the movement, the seizure of fuel by police, the demonization of peaceful protest, the politicization of science, and why the Freedom Convoy exists.
This is what the media will never show you.
Crowdfunding site GiveSendGo opened a campaign on Friday (Feb. 4) for the Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, raising over $2 million by Saturday (Feb. 5) night and $3.7 million by 9pm EST on Sunday (Feb. 6).

But the truckers are peaceful. Horn-honking isn't a crime.
They embarrassed Trudeau — that's their real crime.

1. Is it illegal to possess fuel now?
2. Is it illegal to support a protest?
3. What's going on?
“Declaring a state of emergency reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government,” said a statement from the city on Sunday (Feb. 6).

But they shut down fundraisers for truckers protesting #COVID mandates.
We’ve got questions.
The “enhanced investigation” will start by focusing on those who were involved in organizing the trucker protest using surveillance to “identify and target protesters who are funding/supporting/enabling unlawful and harmful activity by protesters.”
