Despite the state of emergency declared yesterday in Ontario, the demonstrators still have no intention of leaving the scene on this sixteenth day of occupation in downtown Ottawa.
This morning, the truckers were preparing their coffee under a light snow and were busy setting up inflatable games for the children in the heart of the convoy. Yesterday’s announcement from Ontario Premier Doug Ford did nothing to change their morning routine.
Meanwhile, dozens of police were trying to dislodge those blocking the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor. US President Joe Biden yesterday asked his Canadian counterpart to act quickly to resume traffic on this vital trade link between the United States and Canada.
Recall that protesters now face fines of up to $100,000 per individual and one-year prison sentences.
