The Windsor Police (Canada) began to evict trucks and other vehicles that for six days have blocked the Ambassador International Bridge, which connects Canada and the United States.
local television images show dozens of police officers advancing towards the protestersabout a hundred, and several dozen vehicles, who continue to impede traffic on the Ambassador Bridge.
Faced with the advance of the Police, the protesters, who oppose the measures adopted against the pandemic, have slowly started to recede and a couple of heavy trucks that were involved in blocking access to the Ambassador Bridge, the main land passage between Canada and the United States, have withdrawn.
Some of the protesters, often carrying Canadian flags, began to sing the national anthem, “O Canada,” while others heckled the officers, asking “who are you working for?” and questioning their actions.
The police action comes after a judge on Friday ordered the anti-vaccine truckers to remove the blockade from the bridge before 7:00 p.m. this Friday (11:00 p.m. GMT).
Following the order of Judge Geoffrey Morawetz of the Ontario Superior Court, Police distributed leaflets to truckers on Friday night indicating that the state of emergency in Ontario would come into effect on Saturday and that the blockade of the bridge was “illegal”.
The blockade of the Ambassador Bridge, one of the actions that the anti-vaccine movement and truckers opposed to the measures against the pandemic have carried out in the last two weekshas caused serious damage to the economies of Canada and the United States.
At least six vehicle assembly plants on both sides of the border have had to reduce production, or cease production altogether, due to a lack of parts.
On Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with United States President Joe Biden and promised to put an end to the blockade of the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor with Detroit (USA).
In addition to the blockade at Windsor, protesters block two other border crossings in the center and west of the country.
And in Ottawa, Some 400 trucks and hundreds of people have been blocking the streets surrounding Parliament for two weeks despite repeated requests from the authorities to end the “illegal occupation” of the Canadian capital. (I)
