White House says Homeland Security chief urged Ottawa to use its powers to quash this blockade
U.S officials have offered help the Trudeau government end an anti-vaccine mandate protest that is sending ripple effects through the American economy and causing increasing concern in Washington.
The White House says U.S officials had multiple conversations on Thursday with their Canadian counterparts about the blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, a major trade artery which connects Windsor, Ont. with Detroit.
The White House said Thursday the U.S. federal cabinet and senior administration staff are now seized with the issue.
"(They) have been engaged around the clock to bring this to a swift end," the White House said in response to questions from CBC News.
The administration of U.S President Joe Biden said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas urged his Canadian counterparts Thursday to use their own federal powers to end the blockade at the Canada-U.S. border.
Mayorkas also reportedly offered the help of his department to end the impasse.
The White House did not elaborate on the offer of help. Mayorkas's department handles multiple agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Those officers are posted at border checkpoints, including the Ambassador Bridge--the busiest crossing between the two countries and a vital trade link...

Trudeau passing the buck to Biden when Trudeau bashes heads?
Is Biden going to actually intervene with police resources to help Trudeau send the Border Patrol across the border?
The White House knows border closures with Canada means more economic turmoil.
I'm sure that has them worried.
Would be surprised if Joe Biden intervenes. We are supposed to be “good neighbors” now?
Because they know the American truckers are heading for DC.
He’s just a coward.
If Biteme intervenes on the northern border while the southern one is wide open, the hypocrisy will be evident even to the hard leftists. He doesn’t dare.
“The peasants are revolting, sire.”
What is the US going to do, send A-10s to strafe the convoys?
Why not? Canadians are snow Mexicans? (A lame joke)
If Trudeau asks Biden for assistance, he'll pitch in and do the dirty work. That's what we are good for.
I fully expect that the White House “resolution” will involve a massacre that will have epic repercussions on both sides of the border.
I scratch my head but make no mistake this is a dagger aimed at the US economy.
Biden wishes it would go away at the very least because he will hold the bag for the economic situation come November.
Cool, please move in with thousands of goons, start making arrests. Drag away crying children there with their parents.
We will have our cameras at the ready and the movement will utterly explode. You will provoke a general strike. The tryants are in a reverse reward system now. I hope they don’t recognize it so it speeds up their downfall.
Remember, Biden has previously said:
"Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government... If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."Maybe Biden will nuke Ottawa?

Turns out you just need a Kenworth, not an F-15 or a nuke.
Trudeau and the entire Left are bewildered “ We called them racists and Nazis and it didn’t work! What happened to the playbook? Help Joe...Help.”
Hear the horn? Duck and cover!
-PJ
Yep. Time to come up with new plays.
Just wait till the vuvuzelas come out...
The SINGLE biggest mistake Blackface can make is to let US mercenaries start bashing Canadian truckers. That won’t play well, at all.
If Janet Reno hadn’t already been called home by her father and master, Satan, the Potato could have sent her to barbeque, er I mean “help”. What’s the First Potato planning, an invasion of Canada? I’m sure the Canadians would LOVE that idea.
