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.

.....................................................
Biden says A-10s, A-20s, A-30s, whatever it takes.
I guess that means the $3000 stimi checks will be mailed out Oct. 1st?
I know you are probably joking... but if they could get away with it... Nothing they do surprises me. Nothing.
THAT was a good one!

If we could crush them 1/6 protest with the MAGA crowd, damn right we can crush the rowdy group of Canadians next door.
He’ll have to send in the Pinkerton brigade.
I always thought Canadians weren’t cool with us butting into their internal affairs. We should stay out of this.
Let them eat Diesel Fuel.
I have an idea:
“Why don’t you back the Truck off and end the mandates”
Problem solved...
Waiting for this to turn violent.
Gee I have an idea. Just drop the stupid mandates you power hungry pigs.
Time to double down!
Hey, hey; ho, ho!
Fidel Trudeau
Has got to go!
Lets go Brandon; Truck Trudeau!
Truckers of North America, unite! Liberté, égalité, fraternité; you have nothing to lose but your chains...and masks!
Breathe free, or die!
Old habits die hard. Uncle Sam needs to stay in our own neighborhood.
Stupid question I know, but what business is the Canadian Freedom Convoy to the ‘Homeland Security’ Department? For that matter what business is an American Freedom Convoy to Homeland Security? Is freedom now seen as a threat to ‘our democracy’?
Why go half way? Call in the bagpipers!
