Freedom convoy demonstrations are affecting wait times at the Ambassador Bridge U.S.-Canada border crossing.
Canada’s Windsor police says they are working to restore the orderly flow of traffic.
Right now, travelers are being encouraged to reroute to the Windsor-Detroit tunnel or Blue Water Bridge.
Meanwhile, a state of emergency has been declared in the Canadian capitol of Ottawa — as demonstrations against the COVID-19 vaccine and testing rules have completely disrupted the city for a second week in a row.
The mayor says ongoing demonstrations present a serious safety threat. He says they’re trying to end protests peacefully and are not trying to rile up the protesters.
Ottawa’s police chief says the city is under siege and is now asking the mayor for a “significant increase” in resources to deal with it.
