An Ambassador Bridge protest by Canadian truckers critical of pandemic vaccine mandates was headed into a third day, shutting down traffic on one international gateway and backing it up on another.
The protest also has heightening concerns about commerce and what comes next. It also has added pressure – and wait times – at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, where traffic is backing up.
What’s it about?
Truckers calling themselves the Freedom Convoy are opposing a Canadian mandate requiring drivers entering Canada to be fully vaccinated or face testing and quarantine requirements.
But it didn’t just start this week.
Before the Ambassador Bridge was targeted, truckers also protested in Ottawa, Canada’s capital.
(The Ambassador Bridge connects Windsor, Ontario, with Detroit.)
