Police move in on Ambassador Bridge blockade after injunction deadline passes

Police in Windsor, Ont., say their officers and policing partners have started enforcement at the Ambassador Bridge, where a protest has been blocking traffic on the crucial border crossing into the U.S.

"We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully and peacefully," police said in a tweet.

They also advised people to stay away from the area.

Police could be seen moving in around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. While some protesters left, others appeared determined to stay put.

Windsor blockade has only been a few days, not 3 weeks. The Ottawa protest is in its third weekend, but has not reached 3 weeks.

Windsor is 800 kilometres away from Ottawa (500 miles for people using backward measurement systems).
