Truck drivers in Canada fed up with coronavirus regulations blocked access to the busiest bridge into the US, shutting it down for nearly a day, police said. The so-called “Freedom Convoy” that started as a movement in Ottawa and other major Canadian cities against vaccine requirements for cross-border truckers continued Monday at the Ambassador Bridge, causing long backups along the Detroit River in Detroit. The bridge to Canada from the Michigan city shut down by late Monday, the Michigan Department of Transportation tweeted. The span into Canada remained closed early Tuesday, officials said. The bridge — which links Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit — was reopened for US-bound traffic early Tuesday, Windsor police tweeted. It had been “temporarily interrupted” Monday afternoon as officers tried to restore the “orderly flow of traffic” along the span. The traffic-blocking convoy along the international span is the first sign that ongoing demonstrations against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other protocols in Canada may affect the US, the Detroit News reported.

Ottawa’s mayor declared a state of emergency Monday to handle the truckers who shut down the capital city for more than a week while demanding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately end Canada’s COVID-19 restrictions.
Trudeau said the restrictions won’t go on forever as he noted that Canada has one of the highest vaccination rates worldwide.
“Canadians trust science,” he said. “A few people shouting and waving swastikas does not define who Canadians are.”

Sniff, sniff.
Way past time for a dirt nap...
I do not think it just truckers any more.
A five minute tribunal and a swift public hanging.
swastikas...
When this is all over I wonder what JT is going to do for a job?

After ridiculous arrests and fuel seizures in Ottawa, the Freedom Convoy protesters are trolling police in the most Canadian way possible
What’s Happening:
So much for all that “Canadians are nice” stuff. We are seeing first how just how fierce our neighbors to the North can be. When truckers gathered in the capital to protest Trudeau’s bogus mandates, their government turned on them.
The prime minister repeatedly slander the massive group, claiming they were racist (without evidence). Then police got downright nasty, confiscating truckers’ fuel and arresting some of them.
But regular folks fought back.
From Not the Bee:
Over 100 police officers came in to confiscate the fuel, which is keeping truckers warm in the freezing cold Canadian winter while the protest against Covid-19 vaccine mandates…
How did the public respond to this?
Well, they started bringing in more fuel to help the truckers.
The police’s intimidation tactic was like water off a duck’s back.
The truckers struck back hard after this petty move by the police. The convoy ended up shutting down the largest bridge into the United States.
It was really a sight to be seen. After Trudeau tried bully tactics to force the truckers out of the city, they struck back with a blockage. The Ambassador Bridge was clogged with wall-to-wall truckers, which filled the bridge and prevented people from passing. It took over a day for all the trucks to be cleared and the bridge reopened.
Hey, this is how protesting works. These truckers are speaking out loud and clear. But the cowardly prime minister refuses to listen. In fact, he is attacking these Canadians, slandering them in the press. But that doesn’t seem to be hampering their enthusiasm.
The truckers can most likely hold out longer than the government. The country needs these truckers to get back to work. And people will blame Trudeau for his unreasonable treatment of these hard-working folks. Chances are, however, this won’t end before Trudeau’s government does something truly awful. But that will only serve to solidify support for the truckers and their cause.
Key Takeaways:
-Police confiscated fuel from the Freedom Convoy.
=Locals quickly replaced it with contributions of their own.
-The truckers blocked up the Ambassador Bridge as part of their protest.

Seems to me that any swastikas flying just might more of a reference to Justine and his own fascism
Maybe Trudeau will become a truck driver???
“Sorry, I just now ran out of fuel.”
This Virus tyranny only ends when we end it. Kudos to the Truckers for making the villians behind all this uncomfortable.
Talk about reality challenged! Castro Jr. is going to find out the hard way he is trying to hold back a tital wave.
Wrong country. Head to China if that’s the type of government you prefer.
