According to CBC Windsor News at 6’s Katerina Georgieva, the court has granted an Injunction against the Freedom Convoy protest/blockade at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ontario. It was granted around 5:00 p.m. to take effect at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, which the court said would give the protesters a couple of hours to have the time to leave the area.
The Windsor Police just warned the protesters, “We are providing notice that anyone blocking streets or assisting others in the blocking of streets may be committing a criminal offence and must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you may face charges. You could be arrested if you are a party to the offence or assisting others in the direct or indirect commission of this offence.” On top of that, the police said “charges/convictions could lead to denial in crossing the US border.” They also threatened to seize the vehicles.
The injunction is supposed to last 10 days, according to Georgieva.
There’s also word that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer offered Windsor heavy equipment to help move the trucks. “The State of Michigan and the governors’ office directly have offered to send over heavy equipment to help remove vehicles, to provide security, they’ve offered to do whatever is required to help end this blockade as well,” Windsor Mayor Dilkens said in the press conference. Canadian tow truck companies have so far refused approaches from the various local governments affected to remove the trucks. Whitmer has been complaining about the blockade and the effect on the United States.
Police who were, by and large, very nice were handing out these notices, which reflect the threats of action from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, threatening severe consequences such as being locked up for a year, $100,000 fines, and getting their licenses pulled.

It’s a scare tactic to get them to leave. And if they would implement those actions through orders, they’re going to get legally challenged.
The people took a vote to stay, even in the face of the threat.

The court-ordered 7 pm deadline for Windsor protesters to vacate the Ambassador Bridge has come and gone. They’re still here. Police have warned they could be arrested, charged and their vehicles may be seized. pic.twitter.com/8HqDv6iFCO

They also sang “O Canada.”
This lady summarized the attitude of the folks there. They feel the government is being hypocritical, suddenly being concerned about business, when they shut everything down for two years. Now, they’re upset? “I don’t buy it,” she says.
We spoke with a few people gathered here at Ambassador Bridge to hear their thoughts regarding Doug Ford’s new announcement of a state of emergency. Here is what Liz had to say: https://t.co/ys9Wa4SGV5 #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade pic.twitter.com/UHmh9e7FAK

I would expect it will happen probably in the early morning, when they think they’re might be fewer people there.

NUTS!!
Best of luck t'ya!
I wish very bad things upon this evil witch.
Good! I hope we do the same when it is our turn.
Somebody needs to bulldoze this fascist witch - like 6 feet under. These idiots are playing with fire, and they are too arrogant to even see it. I recall the quote: “When peaceful change is made impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable” - or something like that.
They wouldn’t even talk/discuss the issues with them.
God Bless Canada’s truckers. Even though I curse many of them daily when I’m running north into BC. (Yes, I realize the huge difference in the EI drivers in Vancouver and those from back East.)
As an owner operator providing LPG to keep people’s homes warm, it would be damn hard for me to stop running for a couple of weeks. I salute them all!!!
they said the gov moved armored vehicles into the area- woudl be funny if the truckers surrounded the vehicles and blocked them all in then said “OK your move”
All for a vaccine
All for a $hot that is not effective, and is hazardous.
Sickening, isn’t it?
God bless these brave truckers and their Freedom Convoys!!
To the shiney faced C**t, Canada is a sovereign Country, I do not think they are going to accept intrusion by the powers of a dim-witted so called Govenor of a US State.
One big lie I kept seeing on the Twitter thread is that the truckers are using their children as human shields. This needs to be loudly declared for the BS it is.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the oppressed began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the oppressed began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the oppressed began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the oppressed began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the oppressed began to hate.
It’s called projection. :)
I’m pretty sure we will. But we must follow the same tactics as the Canadians have used so effectively. Passive resistance.
“Instead, they chose the absolute worse course of action by doubling down on tyranny.”
Its what tyrants always do. They know no other way. Tyrants hate losing the illusion of power more than they love the actual power.
They know if they back down on this issue the people will protest again on some other issues.
They know if they put down this protest it will scare some into becoming obedient sheep.
They never think about the hearts they are hardening against them. There will be more of these hard hearts than sheep.
All for a vaccine that DOESN’T WORK!
Vaccine won’t stop you from getting covid and won’t stop you from spreading covid; SO WHATS THE POINT?
Oh pardon me; THE POINT IS POWER!!!!
Who does she suppose is going to operate that heavy equipment and how does she suppose its going to arrive at its destination?
Did you write it?
Perhaps I should recognize it, but I don't.
There I Fixed It!
Truckers will eventually win.
Let them go home and stop all deliveries for a month. Canada will starve. Restaurants have at most a three day inventory, markets maybe a week. A one month strike of all deliveries will cripple the nation. Truckers win either way.
