@1965Kaufman @Handell_CVE 😆 good one!
( As opposed to commercial vehicles I mean...I thought their jurisdiction was limited to vehicles with commercial plates?)
We're responding to an outage affecting customers in #QuinteWest and surrounding areas. Crews are investigating and will get the power back on as quickly and safely as possible.

Remember: estimates at #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade put the number at around 75 people, 12 or so large rigs. This is NOT a mass movement, it’s a guerrilla style group of right wing insurgents backed by wealthy far right extremists attacking democracy, exploiting the pandemic.

They think they are powerful. They act like they are important. They say they know more than scientists. They believe they are right. Reality check: they are clowns in a anarchist circus. #GoHomeFluTrucksKlan#Windsor
Truckers? What truckers? Put on your glasses people. What we are seeing are an insignificant number of paid mercenaries posing as truckers & their even more insignificant number of mentally unbalanced supporters (Just look at their grandiose statements.) #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
I just read a comment on FB saying that the Canadian truckers' 2nd Amendment rights are being violated because they aren't allowed to open carry at the #AmbassadorBridgeBlockade and #OttawaOccupied. And now realize the level of intelligence of those supporting the #KarenConvoy
What a quote…

NEW: Toyota’s three Ontario auto plants will stop production for the rest of the week due to the Ambassador Bridge blockade, I’m told.
That’s at least six auto plants shut down/reducing production over the protests (incl. the two Ford plants and one Stellantis plant).
While on my way today to cover the Ambassador Bridge trucker protest, I stopped at a truck stop in Woodstock Ontario, where I met Ted McNeill. He had to take a five hour detour to get his truckload of food into Canada. He shared this message to those protesting COVID-19 mandates.
If you block the 🇺🇸 side of the Ambassador Bridge YOUR actions will result in:
- EMPTY 🇨🇦 shelves & HIGHER 🇨🇦prices
- ACTUAL 🇨🇦 trucker layoffs
- harming 🇨🇦 FARMERS
- costing 🇨🇦 MANUFACTURING & RETAIL jobs
You are CAUSING what you RAIL against.
Its COMPLETELY brain dead.
The Ambassador Bridge between Windsor & Detroit is the most important land crossing in North America & is critical to our supply chains. 1000s of workers & businesses depend on it for their livelihoods.
We're all tired of this pandemic but these illegal blockades must stop.
