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.”

I don’t think he could ever pass the tests.

This was the same bridge near where the Oxford, Michigan school killer (suspect) parents James and Jennifer Crumbley hid out. That artist’s workspace building where they hid in the basement was close enough for them to run for the bridge that night if this stuff had been going on then.
I guess they picked the wrong week to be fugitives from justice. And probably quitting smoking and drinking and all that Airplane stuff, too.

Trudeau’s guys warned them against this but they didn’t give a puck.

Nuremberg style proceedings are the only way to deal with the Left. You’re free to sit on your hands and comply.
Nuremberg style proceedings are not going to happen.
Nope, will not sit on my hands - am working and donating to conservatives and libertarians to challenge weak Republicans, and Dems.

Oh, methinks not. See him more likely on center stage;
perhaps in black face portraying Uncle Remus’ spouse.
He has that certain ‘air’ about him = ‘the limp wrist tendency’.
Thanks for the ping.
