Police clear out border blockade as Ottawa signals deal with trucker convoy

Protesters decrying COVID-19 restrictions and the federal government itself were moved from the mouth of a crucial trade route with the United States on Sunday, while another group stationed in Ottawa appeared to agree to leave residential streets after more than two weeks encamped in the capital’s core.

The plan was to have the bridge open to traffic by the end of day, resuming hundreds of millions of dollars in daily cross-border trade between Canada and the United States. “As long as it takes, I’ll keep coming back. I can’t stay here all day, but I’ll come back here a couple hours a time every day until it’s better, until all the mandates are gone and we have our freedoms back,” she said.

“That’s been one of our goals from the onset of this entire operation is to be able to have a peaceful solution,” Betteridge told reporters at an outdoor briefing. Hours later, his counterpart in Ottawa, Mayor Jim Watson, released letters between himself and organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” about a deal to move some of the 400 vehicles encamped downtown to Parliament Hill and away from residential neighbourhoods.

How nice of the occupants to put up these dog poo receptacles. So kind! 💩

Hopefully we learn from this for the next time we deal with terrorists.

Police seem to have done very little...some communities and politicians seem to have done more.

A deal ? Seriously Wow !!

It’s not cleared.

Police break up remaining protest at Windsor's Ambassador Bridge, make 12 arrests | CBC NewsTwelve people were arrested when officers from multiple police forces advanced on Sunday morning to clear out the remaining protesters and break up a days-long occupation near the Ambassador Bridge border crossing in Windsor, Ont. Why has the media stopped discussing the pandemic as primarily a health issue to only talking about it as a political game doing partisan winner-loser play by play. Thus media amplifies the hoax conspiracy that virus, vaccines, mandates are all 2B viewed as exclusively political! When money is at stake, the Provincial government will act quickly but when city life is disrupted and when that city holds the government of an apposing party...it can wait and wait and wait. CBC will be gone in the next election . LOL
