February 11, 2022 Canada, Covidiots

An injunction to remove protesters blocking traffic to the Ambassador Bridge International border crossing in Windsor, Ont. has been granted following an Ontario Superior Court of Justice hearing on Friday.

The Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association (APMA) and Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association took the legal step, which was backed by the City of Windsor. The injunction will go into effect at 7 p.m. to give protesters the chance to clear the area.

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens announced the intent to seek an injunction on Thursday. He said every day that the border crossing is closed there is a $400 million impact on the economy. Auto sector officials say production at Windsor plants as well as others in Ontario have also been impacted.
