Live Updates: Latest News on the Canada Trucker Protests

Multiple blockades at some of the busiest routes linking Canada to the United States are disrupting supply chains of major car companies, leading to production stoppages and fanning alarm that protests in Canada are threatening the country’s economy and trade with the United States, its biggest trading partner.

Automakers, who have already been suffering from a global shortage of semiconductors needed to power their cars, are being particularly affected by the partial shutdown of the Ambassador Bridge, which links Detroit, Mich., with Windsor, Ontario, and accounts for roughly a quarter of the trade between the two countries.

The mayor of Windsor, Drew Dilkens, said Thursday that his city council has authorized an injunction be sought from superior court “to bring about an end to this illegal occupation.” “The individuals on site are trespassing on municipal property” he added. If necessary, they “will be removed to allow for the safe and efficient movement of good cross the border.”

Marco Mendicino, Canada’s minister of public safety, said on Thursday that The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the national police, were sending additional officers to Ottawa and Windsor, and to the border crossing in Coutts, Alberta, where protests are underway.

Local news reports also said that a group of protesters had gone to Ottawa International Airport on Thursday morning, honking horns and driving around the airport.

As the border blockades in Ontario continued, Said Deep,…
