Large protest started Saturday; RCMP says traffic still blocked in both directions
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is calling for a massive vehicle blockade preventing access to the Canada-U.S. border crossing to end, saying it is causing “significant inconvenience for lawful motorists.”
“[It] could dangerously impede the movement of emergency service vehicles,” Kenney said in a statement on Sunday afternoon. “This blockade must end immediately.”
Truckers and motorists travelling to and from the United States from southern Alberta have been caught up in gridlock as an extremely large blockade of vehicles tied to an ongoing nationwide protest over COVID-19 public health measures continues to jam border traffic.
