Police in Canada have been somewhat successful at clearing big rigs from the Ambassador Bridge — one of the most vital links between the United States and Canada.
But the more protesters they move off the bridge, the more arrive to take their place. And in the city of Ottawa, the protesters show no sign of leaving anytime soon.
Other important bridges connecting the United States and Canada, including Coutts, Alberta, which connects to Montana, and Surrey, British Columbia, which connects to Washington state, are also under siege. In Nova Scotia, an important ferry landing has been hit with paralyzing protests.
The Canadian authorities keep threatening to forcibly remove the protesters but have yet to take any action toward that end. Naturally, their credibility has fallen to zero because of their hesitation, and the protesters remain.
In the capital Ottawa, police grappled withan influx of anti-government and anti-vaccine-mandate demonstrators for a third straight weekend despiteboth local and provincial officials declaring states of emergency. Law enforcement appeared to be floundering in their attempts to get Freedom Convoy protesters to leave by threatening them with fines, prison time, and the loss of their licenses.
Ottawa police said Saturday that over 4,000 demonstrators were in the city throughout the day.
“Safety concerns – arising from aggressive, illegal behavior by many demonstrators – limited police enforcement capabilities,” the police said in a statement.
What sort of “illegal behavior”? None is specified, which is in keeping with the propaganda campaign that’s been underway since the Freedom Convoy arrived in Ottawa. The truckers and other protesters are painted as racist Nazis who are trying to overthrow the government and are disrespectful of Canadian liberty.

Exactly. And they’re afraid of losing the Great Reset.
Thanks for posting that.
The truckers are doing a great job.
“aggressive, illegal behavior by many demonstrators”
The whole Washington Post article is full of dis-information. They never described a BLM protest this way.
Shoveling sand against the tide.........
I keep hearing conflicting information. I was watching the live feed last evening and the bridge was clear and not blocked by truckers. I also read the cops haven’t arrested or forcibly removed trucks anywhere. How can both be true?
What about the truck blocking the Ambassador bridge? Apparently they left as I saw video of no blockages except for the police cordoning it off for some unknown reason. A lot of misinformation going on and it would be great to hear the truth.
I agree.
