“While several US States have enacted legislation prohibiting non-competes, Ontario is the first of the Canadian Provinces to do so.”
Ontario banned non-competes outright, with no grandfathering and narrow carve-outs. The “right to disconnect” is weaker. Employers with 25 or more staff only have to write a policy, and nothing says what it must contain. One half bans something. The other half asks for paperwork.
