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...

End the tyrannical mandate, Justin.
It’s that simple.
Jerk.
Maybe someone should remind Biden, or more correctly his handlers, that borders can be closed from either side. If he (they) offer to “help” Canada they just might find trouble on our side of the border too. I’ve got some vacation time coming, maybe a trip up north would be nice...
Biden begging for a convoy runnin’ to DC.
Dollars to Donuts- when this is all over- the scum liberals will go after the truckers individually and ruin their careers- maybe even prison time- one at a time so as not to rile up the masses- the msm will bury the harassment and or arrests-
Biden is heading to Ottawa. He’s going to handle the situation the same way he handled Cornpop outside of the pool.
Those who do that would starve due to shortages caused by shortage of truckers.
I hope this won’t distract DHS from hunting conservatives and Americans who don’t trust the government. That is surely DHS highest and best use.
Given our country’s history of slaughtering people that irritate someone in power, this could have a bad ending.
true- but then the governments of both countries will declare it domestic terrorism (Trying to starve a population, or some such asinine nonsense)- and go after the truckers and replace them likely- the scumbags on the left fight mega dirty- biden admin is already signalling it’s gonna go after the truckers on this side of border- Liberals are nasty vindictive people
The Southern Border’s still open. ..and no vax required....something is very wrong
What Would Ceausescu Do? What Would Romania Do?
Who knows what this means?
It means Biden just declared war on US Truckers! They know if he will do it to Canuk truckers, US Truckers are next!!! If they thought Jan 6 was insurrection, they aint seen nothing yet. Poked the wrong bears!
I Would hope that most of my fellow agents would decline to do anything, but I know of several agents who are pro biden pro mask etc. Does not make any sense to me how someone could be a Border Patrol Agent and be a biden supporter but there are plenty.
Drones were threatened at
The Bundy Ranch skirmish.
Oathkeepers left.
I am sure all the Canadians who are leftist are fine with it. We would have half of our population cheering in the streets if the Chinese invaded the United States.
the HONKIES are winning
Ouch,
You make sense.
Big cold war weapons are great...against cold war level threats. Not so great in other engagements. An F-15 is only effective if it can get off the ground and find and enemy to engage. A nuke is only effective if it does more damage to your enemy than it does to you. A guy with a 9mm outside the local apparatchik's office at closing time is far more of a grass roots threat. You can have all the big plans you want, but at the local level you'll never have control.
This is now just a stubborn pride thing, a really expensive game of chicken.
Collectivist history is full of these events.
