Windsor Police say they continue their enforcement actions at the scene of an ongoing Ambassador Bridge blockage on Sunday morning, “with arrests being made.”
In a tweet, police also stated thaxjmtzywt vehicles are being towed, and residents should continue to avoid the area. They said there will be “zero tolerance for illegal activity.”
Police were at the protest site on Sunday in groups that appeared to outnumber the amount of protesters that remained at the blockade. After coming face to face with protesters on Saturday, Windsor Police arrested a 27-year-old man, alleging he committed a criminal offence in relation to the demonstration, but did not say what charges he may face.
The Ambassador Bridge is the busiest crossing in North America and has been closed for nearly a week as a result of the protest calling for an end to all COVID-19 restrictions. While the larger rigs may no longer be crowding the protest site, demonstrators continue to stand their ground despite an injunction demanding that they leave.
Meanwhile, protesters in Ottawa continued to rally for the third weekend in a row, demonstrating against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other health restrictions.
