Trucker protests: Police clear protest at Ambassador bridge, make arrests

Police have made several arrests as they cleared out protesters and vehicles blockading the Windsor, Ont. Ambassador Bridge, but the bridge was not yet open to traffic on Sunday.

Dozens of trucks, cars, pickups and vans have blocked traffic in both directions at Canada’s busiest border crossing to the U.S. for several days. By Sunday morning, the trucks and remaining protesters were greeted by a heavy police presence, with more than 50 vehicles, including cruisers, buses and an armoured car.

The demonstrators are part of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” that is protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates and quarantine rules for cross-border truck drivers. Sean O’Shea has the story.
