U.S.-Canada's Ambassador Bridge reopens after weeklong anti-vaccination protest shut down the crucial commerce route.
The Ambassador Bridge, a crucial roadway for U.S.-Canadian trade, reopened late Sunday after authorities cleared a weekend blockade mounted by protesters unhappy about vaccine mandates.
After a day of snowfall, temperatures in the teens, 25 to 30 arrests, and the seizure of five vehicles, Pam Mizuno, deputy chief of police in the border port city of Windsor, Ontario, echoed that declaration during an afternoon press conference, even as the bridge remained closed at the time.as well as those from outside agencies, adding, “I am very thankful for today’s peaceful outcome.”
While the deputy chief reiterated the service's stance of zero tolerance for"any activity" in the area, the deputy chief said protesters do have a right to voice their concerns in a legal manner, such as by staying on sidewalks. After some success Saturday the demonstration appeared to be breaking up before the crowd swelled again before nightfall. An overnight front bringing snow may have helped authorities as the number of protesters dwindled and officers made arrests Sunday.
