Police in Ontario began to slowly clear out people who’ve been blocking the Ambassador Bridge between Canada and Detroit in a protest against COVID-19 restrictions. But freight traffic remained halted there.
The operation began Saturday morning in Windsor, as lines of officers in yellow vests slowly advanced in rows, yelling warnings that protesters could face criminal charges if they continued to occupy roadways.
By evening, the protest was still going on, and police had pushed the demonstration only 500 yards from the original rally point at the foot of the bridge. But they sealed off side streets to keep more cars from coming in as they worked to clear Huron Church Road and restore bridge traffic.
