11:37Now Playing(Feb. 11) Watch live as Ontario Premier Doug Ford will be joined by Solicitor General Sylvia Jones, attorney general Doug Downey and Caroline Mulroney, minister of transportation, to make an announcement.
Canada just had one of its worst months for Covid-19 deaths, but the eyes of the nation aren’t on its hospitals. They’re on noisy groups of protesters in Ottawa and other places who want an immediate end to vaccine mandates and other restrictions.
The demonstrations have captured global attention for a few reasons. Among them is the bullhorn of Fox News, the Trump family, the alt-right and the anti-vaxxer movement — all of which have hailed the truckers and protesters as heroes.
Another is the compelling image of the metal involved. Several hundred semi trucks are parked in front of Canada’s parliament, on major roads and in residential areas of the capital. They’re loud. They’re impossible for police to move. They’ve been there for almost two weeks, bringing the city to a standstill. Nobody is certain what it will take to get them to leave.
Protesters against vaccine mandates are grabbing attention in other ways, too. On Monday night, they blocked the Ambassador Bridge connecting connecting Detroit with southern Ontario, a vital artery for the movement of goods. They’ve halted traffic at other border posts too.
