Canadian Police Arrive To “Remove” Freedom Convoy Protesters From Ambassador Bridge<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Following Friday’s ‘state of emergency’ declaration in Ontario, which empower police to finally clear the protesters blocking the Ambassador Bridge (of course, the Canadian government could have just rolled back the COVID restrictions that inspired the protests to begin with,\u00a0although Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has used some truly bizarre rhetoric\u00a0<\/a>in its defense),\u00a0Canadian police have moved in early Saturday to start making arrests and breaking the protest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protesters at the busiest land crossing between the US and Canada staunchly remained overnight despite the threats of violence from the Canadian government. The blockade\u00a0has forced auto makers in the US to shutter production due to a shortage of parts<\/a>\u00a0(while some have been forced to fly parts across the border).<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the AP,<\/a>\u00a0a city bus and school bus with the police arrived on scene Saturday morning, and officers got in formation to start clearing out the protesters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A city bus and school bus arrived at the scene Saturday morning and police moved in formation toward them. But the protesters remained defiant.<\/p>\n

Windsor police immediately warned that anyone blocking the streets could be subject to arrest and their vehicles could be seized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The news was met earlier with defiance by protesters.<\/p>\n

At the Ambassador Bridge, an unidentified person grabbed a microphone and addressed the crowd, asking if they wanted to stay or leave when the deadline rolled around.<\/strong>\u00a0By a show of applause, it was agreed they would stay. \u201cOK,\u201d the man said. \u201cLet\u2019s stand tall.\u201d The protesters responded by singing the Canadian national anthem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Using a megaphone, one of the protesters alerted the others that police were coming for the demonstrators. Video of the situation quickly made its way online courtesy of @JackPosobiec.<\/p>\n
