Both Detroit and Windsor have significant auto operations and the standstill is a huge concern for businesses that already have been suffering from global supply chain and local staffing issues.
Windsor police declined to comment Wednesday on its plans to end the demonstration or ticket or truckers, but noted that in the past day it said had answered hundreds of 911 calls, issued 14 tickets — including traffic violations — and arrested nine people.

Lawful truckers at the Ambassador Bridge shouldn’t be stuck for hours. This is 100% on Doug Ford. His history of playing footsie with anti-vaxxers, and his failure to say these tactics will not influence public health decisions have caused this. #onpolihttps://t.co/DWUoikJcHD
