Canada trucker protest silenced with 10-day injunction to stop honking horns

Truckers in Ottawa have been silenced from honking their horns with an injunction amid protests over Covid rules.

The capital of Canada has been paralysed as demonstrators blocked roads and blared their horns in protest of Covid mandates bringing misery to many residents.

Judge Hugh McLean ruled the truckers were to be silent for the next 10 days after noisy honking sparked fury among the residents. “Tooting a horn is not an expression of any great thought I’m aware of,” he said in the ruling.

Twitter Suspends Anti-CRT Education Group Amid Pressure from Teachers Union

An anti-Critical Race Theory education organization and several of its staff members were suspended by Twitter after a teachers union member reported the accounts. Twitter lifted the organization's suspension Friday afternoon, following an appeal.

Chalkboard Review, an education website that publishes commentary on education and frequently criticizes the teaching of CRT, was suspended Thursday without notice, just one month after the National Education Association sent a letter to social media companies urging them to censor speech targeting the controversial doctrine.

In addition to CR's account receiving a suspension, several of its team members – including its scheduling editor and two members of its social media team – were also suspended by the social media giant. CR's social media director was suspended despite not making any Twitter posts on their personal account for a month.

Tony Kinnett, CR's co-founder and executive director, told Townhall that it was "truly dumbfounding" to see CR's Twitter account suspended without an email or notification after "over a year of hard work providing an outlet for teachers to publish diverse perspectives."

But Friday afternoon, following a suspension appeal, CR's Twitter account was restored, with the social media company telling CR in an email that the account was unsuspended as it "does not appear to be in violation of the Twitter Rules."

But CR's staff members who received suspensions remain suspended following failed attempts to appeal.
