Canadian Truckers Block Main Route To US As Trudeau Demands End To Protest

Lorries started blocking Ambassador Bridge linking the cities of Detroit and Windsor late on Monday, halting traffic in both directions. Every day 8,000 lorries normally cross the bridge, which handles about 27% of trade between Canada and the US.

Canada’s capital city remained blockaded by hundreds of vehicles from the “freedom convoy” while protest organisers called for a meeting with federal political leaders to find a “peaceful resolution”.

The prime minister, Justin Trudeau, repeated his calls for an end to the protest, saying: “Individuals are trying to blockade our economy, our democracy, and our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop.”

Addressing the House of Commons on Monday, he recognised that “this pandemic has sucked for all Canadians” and that “everyone is tired of having to wear masks and having to follow health restrictions ”, but he noted that Canada had one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and implored his compatriots to continue listening to science.
