Mounties To Move On Blockade At Alberta-US Border

Enforcement will begin Wednesday afternoon to reopen traffic to the Canada-U.S. border at Coutts which is being blocked by an ongoing protest, according to RCMP. The blockade has been ongoing for more than a week, in solidarity with the trucker protests in Ottawa and other parts of the country.

“Really it’s going to be up to them,” Supt. Roberta McKale told reporters. “Up until this point it’s been us asking them and this afternoon we don’t have an option, we’re going to have to use our enforcement options to have that happen.”

Safety is the top priority, she added. “This illegal protest has people that are up on the highway and anyone that is coming through could end up hurting one of the protesters if they are standing out in the road,” she said.
