As you come off the Bridge you are on Huron Church Road. Follow this road for 5 or 6 miles and it directly turns into the 401. The 401 is the main highway through Chatham, London and Toronto ( My wife grew up in London and my in-laws still live there). If youve ever driven this highway you have seen that the traffic consists of at least 50% trucks at any given time. This is the main highway connecting the industrial centers of Chicago/Detroit/Toronto. The Ambassador Bridge is the busiest crossing between the two countries.
Shut down the Ambassador Bridge crossing and the Blue Water Bridge between Port Huron and Sarnia and you squeeze off a huge percentage of trade between the two countries. These are strategic crossings indeed.
There is still the tunnel crossing but that is for cars only I believe. Been a long time since I used the tunnel. It connects the downtown areas of Detroit and Windsor.
Correct. Cars only in tunnel and tunnel is still open
Yup the wart on Detroits ass -- Matty Maroun.
GOOOD. Keep the pressure mounting!!
Good. Look at the list of requirements a non-injected free Canadian has to subject themselves to just to enter their home nation. Absurd, cruel, dystopian!

Aren't they just making it harder for other truckers ? Either way IDGAF
It's true. One of my driver's got to Detroit just as Ambassador got shut down. We re-routed him to Huron and it was chaos.
While I felt for my customer forcing them to air-frieght what they needed, this act got the PM out of hiding because now the US Auto Industry is yelling. And Trudeau comes out swinging at the truckers using language I haven't heard since a certain guy with a funny mustache.
It's clear now that EVERYTHING they are planning on their dehumanizing campaign against us depends on COVID. Trudeau just showed everyone their hand!
I dont see any protesters. It look like the police are causing the delays
They're probably unlawfully searching vehicles for trucker supplies ... that'll slow down traffic
Them: Oh but the US constitution isnt valid within 50 miles of the border.
Me: oh, well then i guess the authority that you derive from the US constitution isn’t valid within 50 miles of the border either.
Thought it was 100?

shut it down.
Hold the Line 💕
Poll. Is the blockade of the bridge appropriate form of protest? You know what to do.

✅ 65% yes
It got the PM out of hiding. First words out of his mouth show clearly a heightened need to depose him. They haven't got enough collaborator brown shirts to go clear them out. He is done. I hope now that he doesn't remove the mandates, but there is no way they can keep this going for 48 more hours.
