Ontario court strikes down portions of ‘ag-gag’ anti-trespass law

Decision a "decisive victory," animal rights proponents say

Some sections of Ontario’s so-called ag gag law have been struck down by the province’s Superior Court. The court ruled April 2 that certain provisions within the Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act 2020 violate the right of freedom of expression under the Charter of Rights, declaring them to have no force or effect.
