This Tuesday, Canadian anti-vaccine groups, who have been protesting for days against the measures applied by the coronavirus pandemic, kept the main border crossing between Canada and the United States blocked with trucks and vans.
Drivers of the self-styled “Freedom Convoy” have been blocking the Ambassador international crossing since Monday, which connects the city of Windsor (Ontario, Canada) with Detroit (Michigan, USA), and is the busiest between the two countries.
The Windsor Police reported this Tuesday on their social networks that “congestion” continues in the area and urged drivers to look for “alternative” routes, such as the Blue Water Bridge, which connects Sarnia (Ontario) with Port Huron (Michigan) .
The day before, the Windsor Police asked the protesters “not to endanger public order” and warned that “those who commit crimes will be investigated and charged.”
More than 60% of Canadians oppose the protests that have been held for 11 days by the anti-vaccine movement and radical groups in the capital, Ottawa, to protest against measures to contain the pandemic, according to a survey released this Tuesday. .
On Monday night, in an emergency debate in the House of Commons of Parliament, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared that after more than a week of occupying downtown Ottawa, the protest “has to stop.” and the protesters have to return to their homes.
Trudeau also claimed that the protest is “blocking” Canadian democracy and the Canadian economy.
The protests began on January 29 when the so-called “Freedom Convoy”, organized by truck drivers opposed to covid-19 vaccinations, attracted more than 3,000 trucks to Ottawa and between 10,000 and 15,000 protesters, including far-right organizations.
The protesters use the horns of their trucks day and night, which has caused clashes with neighbors. (I)
