A blockade set up at Alberta’s Coutts border crossing for over two weeks ended Tuesday as protesters said they wanted to maintain the narrative that they are peaceful, and have nothing to do with the individuals arrested by RCMP for having access to a cache of firearms and ammunition.

“We want to wrap this up in a peaceful way,” said convoy organizer Marco Van Huigenbos in a video message, posted by Rebel News reporter Syd Fizzard on Twitter the evening of Feb. 14.
