The mayor of Windsor says he is concerned that the demonstration that has led to the temporary closing of one of the busiest crossings between Canada and the United States will leave “lasting and permanent impact” on the local economy, though he is not planning on removing the protesters by force.
On the night of Feb. 7, protesters opposing the Canadian government’s COVID-19 mandates started to gather on the Ambassador Bridge, the crossing that connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, which Mayor Drew Dilkens said is vital for moving goods across the border.
