Court grants injunction to silence honking in downtown Ottawa for 10 days

 

An Ottawa judge has granted an interim injunction seeking to silence the honking horns that have plagued residents of downtown Ottawa for the past 11 days.

“Tooting a horn is not an expression of any great thought I’m aware of,” said Justice Hugh McLean during a court hearing in Ottawa Monday.

The request for an injunction came out of a proposed class-action lawsuit filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Friday by lawyer Paul Champ on behalf of his client Zexi Li, a 21-year-old public servant.

Six-year-old Beaver Scouts are quizzed on gender

Children as young as six are being quizzed on their gender by Scout chiefs, in a move dubbed as ‘woke nonsense’ by critics.

Youngsters in the 112-year-old youth organisation are now being asked to define their gender – instead of their biological sex – in an annual census of its members.

Options on the yearly survey include ‘male, female, I self-identify’ or ‘I prefer not to say’.

It’s time to end the ‘freedom convoy’ in Ottawa by enforcing the law and following the money

…. The goals of the leadership of the so-called freedom convoy were clear from the start: to remove from power the government that Canadians elected less than six months ago. Their blatant treachery was dismissed as comic, which meant many didn’t take them as seriously as they should have. Certainly not our public safety authorities, whose negotiations facilitated the convoy’s entry into the heart of our capital and have watched as its dangerous infrastructure has been steadily reinforced – a policy of engagement that has amounted to a reality of appeasement.

On the first weekend, many Canadians who joined the demonstrations undoubtedly had peaceful objectives. Tired as we all are with unprecedented disruptions that we’ve all endured over the past two years, it’s understandable that many would want to come to Ottawa to protest. It’s a free country, and everyone should be able to express their opinions free of interference from the state, just as the press should be able to report without fear of harassment or intimidation.

But now in its second week, no one should have any doubt. This is sedition. That’s a word I never thought I’d use in Canada. It means “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.”

The elite are very scared. Good.

Go Incognito.

Feds proposing cross-jurisdiction meeting to respond to trucker convoy

The federal government is proposing a special meeting with provincial and municipal governments to plan how to respond to the trucker convoy protests, now into their second week in the nation’s capital.

Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair announced Monday that the federal government wants to strike a “trilateral table with municipal and provincial partners,” that he says would allow the various parties responsible for managing the standoff to keep lines of communication open and respond efficiently.

Coronation or actual race? Strategists divided over whether to hand Poilievre the Conservative leadership

Should the Conservative Party proceed to a quick coronation of Pierre Poilievre or hold an actual leadership race?

Conservative strategists and commentators who spoke to the National Post are torn between holding a quick leadership race and gearing up for the next election, or opting for a longer contest with the outcome being harder to predict.

Likeable but will anything really change?

Removing trucks could be almost ‘impossible,’ say heavy towing experts

Heavy-duty towing experts say it will be difficult or impossible to remove the hundreds of heavy trucks entrenched in Ottawa’s downtown — unless the drivers allow it.

CBC counted 40 trucks on Kent Street and 109 on Wellington Street Friday, with dozens more on other streets spread around the downtown core. Then on Saturday, Ottawa police said 500 heavy trucks were in the so-called “red zone.”

Trucker Lloyd Crowe from Picton, Ont., has been parked just a couple of blocks away from Parliament Hill since last weekend, but he’s not worried about being towed.

Ontario reports some new Covid cases … and ‘learning to live with COVID’

Ontario reports some new Covid cases … and ‘learning to live with COVID’

Ontario reports 11 more deaths in people with COVID-19 but hospitalizations, case counts and outbreaks continue to decline

Ontario is reporting its lowest number of new COVID-19 deaths in nearly a month, as hospitalizations, case counts and outbreaks continue to decline.

The Ministry of Health reported 11 new deaths in individuals who had contracted COVID-19 on Monday, which is a notable decrease from the 32 deaths reported at this time last week

Experts weigh in on shifting public health messaging on ‘learn to live with COVID’

TORONTO – Ontarians have recently started hearing their top health and government officials speak of “learning to live with COVID-19,” but it doesn’t mean immediately returning to life as it was in 2019 and authorities should be refining their message, experts say.

Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, is now using the phrase, as are Toronto’s top doctor, Ontario’s health minister and Premier Doug Ford.

Trucker convoy: 11th day marked by arrests; Injunction against horns returning to court

In an interview on CTV Morning Live on Monday, Mayor Jim Watson called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to appoint a mediator in an effort to end the “Freedom Convoy” occupation in the city’s downtown.

Watson said he has suggested to federal ministers that a mediator could be “an honest broker on both sides to try to find some common ground, if that’s possible.”

“Someone of great stature in our community and the country who can actually open doors and bring some peace and calm to the situation,” Watson told CTV Morning Live.

GoFundMe self-immolates on the back of the Canadian truckers’ strike

Big Tech’s embrace of wokesterism has left it full of idiots.

Which brings us to GoFundMe, the popular fund-raising platform, which shut down a $10 million cash haul for the striking Canadian truckers on some kind of political correctness ground, or rather “violation of terms of service.” They saw that the bid to help truckers was popular. They saw the money roll in.
