Trucker Convoy Toronto Rally in Canada – 12 Feb 2022
WINDSOR, Ontario (77WABC) — Police have moved in to clear and arrest the remaining protesters near a key U.S.-Canadian border bridge as they try to end one of the main protests that have broken out across Canada and the world against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other restrictions. Windsor police said arrests were being made and vehicles were being towed just after dawn near the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. That’s the busiest border crossing to the U.S. Police barricades remained and it was not immediately clear when the bridge might be opened. In the capital, Ottawa, the ranks of protesters swelled to what police said was 4,000 demonstrators.
