Whenever a Canadian province applies for an injunction against freedom to protest, there should be a lawyer filing for a counter-injunction against vaccine mandates.
Police are not being aggressive as of 10:20 am but are grouping in to move the protestors in one direction I am watching it live on CBC NN TV Most protestors came in cars or pickups, not semis
There should be a law against protests that use such vehicles!

thomaskaine5 This is not civil protest. This is harmful intent, remove them now !
Cool. Does this mean tow trucks have entered the equation? Cause it always seemed like a simple solution to me.
Get those truckers back to work
It is time to refuse beds to those who refuse to get vaccinated. too bad, so sad...freedom comes with certain responsiblities to the country and those who live there.
These are not good citizens...they are blocking other truckers from making a living, they are forcing the closing of car manufacturing in US because they cannot get their products, all those families a week without pay.. all over a shot to keep them out of the hospital..
Except we finally learned the protesters are in town blocking the first intersection. 6 dozen pickup trucks.
are they under the impression the reason the cops haven't done anything so far is because of the law wordcel bluster
Important to note: Majority of Canadians do NOT support this protest. Majority of Americans do not support this protest. Right wing American media would have you believe otherwise, as would tedcruz and other bad actors.
good

Bridge blockade in Canada threatens North American auto industryFord, Toyota and General Motors have had to shut down plants or otherwise curtail production on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border due to the blockade of the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. These Far-Right attacks on the economy of two democracies makes Putin smile. Misinformation is more powerful than cruise missiles. The companies (Ford, GM, Toyota...) that have been damaged by this illegal behavior should sue for damages. Bankrupt every one of those truckers. ;) “More than meets the eye.”
