End of Ambassador Bridge trucker protest could be in sight as one lane opens

( Detroit Free Press) Less than two hours before a hearing Friday asking the Ontario Superior Court chief judge to order an end to the week-long protest, demonstrators began moving trucks to open a single lane on the Ambassador Bridge.

It was a sign, they said, of good faith.

Windsor officials had been saying they hoped the protest was resolved soon but, if necessary, they have the police reinforcements to end it. .........(more)

1. "Good faith" my ass!

These terrorist goons should not be allowed to define the debate.

This is worse than when right wing thugs were allowed to occupy a wildlife sanctuary with relative impunity for so long, or the kid gloves that Clive Bundy gets when he literally aims weapons at federal law enforcement.

They should be given a warning to clear the bridge. If they don’t, the trucks should be removed without regard to damage. Use tank rescue vehicles and helicopters if you have to. Then bill the truck owners (or companies) for the service.

Weak response to authoritarian threats only results in the authoritarians gaining more power.
