The ruling went effect at 7 p.m. Friday, just hours after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that "everything is on the table" to dissolve the blockade and restart traffic.
WINDSOR, ONT. A Windsor lawyer is suing an east-end restaurant for defamation after an alleged mask-wearing dispute gained national attention last October. In a statement of claim obtained by CTV News, Antoine D’Ailly alleged he “has been the subject of campaign of hateful threats and attacks,” after the restaurant owner went public over his refusal to wear a mask at its makeshift, outdoor takeout window on Oct. 7, 2020. According to the lawsuit, D’Ailly claims he “has suffered, and may in the future suffer, economic loss and/or a loss of competitive advantage in the workplace.” D’Ailly issued a letter to the restaurant Thai Palace threatening legal action after the incident if the restaurant owner did not settle out of court for $20,000.
