Ontario authorities moved to clear a protest blockade of the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, as it entered its sixth day on Saturday, February 12. The moves came after an Ontario Superior Court injunction prohibiting obstruction of the bridge, which is the busiest land border crossing between the US and Canada. The injunction, which came into effect at 7 pm ET on Friday, stated that people were prohibited from “impeding or blocking access to the Ambassador Bridge and indirect or direct approaching roadways and access points” for 10 days. People remained at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful, and safe protest that did not impede or block access to the Ambassador Bridge and approaching roadways, the injunction stated. Footage shot by Janet Dix on Saturday shows protesters waving Canadian flags as they faced a line of police officers and vehicles near the bridge. On Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a provincial state of emergency in response to the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” protests that have also affected border crossings in Coutts, Alberta, and Emerson, Manitoba.
