WINDSOR, Ontario — A judge on Friday ordered protesters at the Ambassador Bridge over the U.S.-Canadian border to end the 5-day-old blockade that has disrupted the flow of goods between the two countries and forced the auto industry on both sides to roll back production.

It was not immediately clear when or if law enforcement officers would be sent in to remove the demonstrators, who parked their pickups and other vehicles in a protest against the country's COVID-19 restrictions and an outpouring of fury toward Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government.

Chief Justice Geoffrey Morawetz of the Ontario Superior Court said during a virtual hearing that the order would be effective at 7 p.m. to give protesters time to leave.

Windsor police immediately warned that demonstrators blocking the streets could be subject to arrest and their vehicles may be seized.

The decision came after a 4 1/2-hour court hearing at which the city of Windsor and lawyers for auto parts makers argued that the blockade was causing undue economic harm for the city and region.

2. Big metal saws, pulverizers and dumptrucks ought to do it

Dismantle, smash, pulverize and use a frontloader to toss one in a dump truck and the rest will get the message.

4. They have been fairly warned, given ample time to be heard & now leave.

They should all be fined until the costs to the City & country have been satisfied.

6. Rule of Law Stomps Canuck QAnon Truckers

490.8 of Criminal Code of Canada…apparently America forgot to put such a provision in the law books, along with hate speech laws and representative government.

You can have it all and still have democracy, eh?

If not…it adds up to…fascism.
