The Buffalo News reports:
Opponents of vaccine mandates supporting like-minded Canadian truckers assembled in a City of Tonawanda parking lot Saturday for a motorcade and rally near the Peace Bridge. The rally is part of continuing protest activity on both sides of the border over Covid-19 restrictions.
About 75 vehicles with about 100 people, flying American flags and honking, gathered for a planned “convoy” bound for Buffalo City Hall and Pat Sole Park near the Peace Bridge.
Some displayed banners denouncing President Biden. Others sported slogans written on windows in support of Canadian truckers who have disrupted traffic at the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ont., and paralyzed the capital city of Ottawa.

NOW: @byronwbrown on CNN, says federal, local, state law enforcement is ready. Convoy due in Buffalo around noon. Staging in Tonawanda. “We don’t envision….what we’re seeing in Canada,” he says. “We think it will be dozens not hundreds.”
