Usually I only get honks at reds when the driver behind thinks I should disappear so he/she/it can turn right on the red, in cases where I'm going straight on and there is no right-turn-only lane. However, if I believe that the lane I'm in is actually wide enough to accommodate me and a right-turning car, I'm generally already positioned to the left so that said right-turning car can get by.
In that case it was a single lane street going two ways crossing a 3 lanes street going one-way from left to right (north-south, I was going west-east). Thing is, you're not allowed to turn right on a red light anywhere in Montreal. In the case where it's possible, I do tend to the left.
I took the lane to avoid being squished by right-turning drivers actually
