Truckers In Canada Are Protesting, And An Injunction Has Been Granted To Prevent Them From Blasting Their Horns.
Truckers in Ottawa have been told to stop blasting their horns as part of a protest that has clogged the streets.
The incessant blare of truck horns has become one of the defining characteristics of the anti-vaccine movement in Canada.
However, Judge Hugh McLean has ordered that they remain silent for the next ten days.
"Tooting a horn is hardly an expression of any significant idea that I'm aware of," Justice McLean said in a ruling presented to locals on Monday.
The loud honking of 400 to 500 trucks had enraged residents and business owners in the area.
The Freedom Convoy protest has extended to other cities and was organized in response to federal regulations requiring truckers to be vaccinated before crossing the US border.
However, it is now opposed to a variety of laws; for example, in some regions of Canada, you must present proof of vaccination to attend indoor places such as restaurants, gyms, and bars.
The majority of the protesters are nonviolent, but there have been complaints of abuse, and some have used Nazi slogans to make their point.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been placed in isolation after testing positive for Covid, has described their conduct as a "insult to truth and memory."
Ottawa's mayor issued an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday, requesting an immediate deployment of 1,800 law enforcement officers to put an end to the "aggressive" behavior.
