A protest by Canadian truckers over vaccine requirements has begun to inflict economic pain, causing worry by industry and government officials
Demonstrators against COVID vaccine mandates block the roadway at the Ambassador Bridge border crossing, in Windsor, Ontario, on February 9, 2022. The protesters, who are in support of the truckers' Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, have blocked traffic in the Canada-bound lanes of the bridge since Monday evening. Approximately $323 million worth of goods cross the Windsor-Detroit border each day at the Ambassador Bridge, making it North America's busiest international border crossing.
Government officials said Wednesday that the situation has become worse and auto plants have had their operations affected.
