Bridge Still Closed After Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ Trucks Removed
Canadian police succeeded this weekend in clearing “Freedom Convoy” trucks from the Ambassador Bridge, but the key crossing remained closed to traffic on Sunday as cops were locked in a standoff with a few dozen protesters on foot.
It’s clear that authorities are trying to avoid any kind of violent clash as they slowly push the anti-vaxx, anti-lockdown demonstrators further from the bridge that accounts for one-fourth of all trade between Canada and the U.S.
“The priority is still on protecting human life and that includes the demonstrator, despite anyone’s feeling that it might be gratifying to escalate the actions unnecessarily,” a top police official told the CBC.
