WINDSOR, ONTARIO (AP)— Police moved in to clear and arrest the remaining protesters near the busiest U.S.-Canadian border crossing Sunday, ending a demonstration against COVID-19 restrictions that has hurt the economy of both nations.
But they held back from a crackdown on a larger protest in the capital, Ottawa, where local and national police formed a joint command center. Protesters paralyzed downtown, infuriated residents who are fed up with police inaction, and turned up pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Windsor police said arrests were made and vehicles were towed Sunday near the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit to Canadian auto plants.
