Protests blockading U.S.-Canada border crossings were down to their last holdouts, with supply routes almost fully clear.
Soon after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, law enforcement officials said they made progress in dispersing protests that disrupted cross-border trade. The blockades at U.S.-Canada border crossings were down to their last holdouts, with key supply routes almost clear after police arrested dozens of people — charging some with conspiracy to commit murder after announcing the seizure of weapons at one location.
in response to a crisis that has rippled across the country. In Ottawa, police said they made 18 arrests and issued more than 3,000 tickets. Police have announced dozens of investigations, including into defaced monuments such as the National War Memorial. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta said four men were charged Tuesday with conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the protest near the Coutts border crossing, which they said was now clear, with traffic “moving slowly.” Another crossing in British Columbia was also announced as open, while authorities in Manitoba said they had reached a “resolution” with demonstrators choking off the Emerson crossing and expected them to clear out Wednesday.
