Some demonstrators are refusing to leave.
Police moved in a day after a judge issued an injunction allowing police to start clearing the bridge and end the blockade. Demonstrators had until 7 p.m. Friday to leave and the number of demonstrators started decreasing at night as authorities warned that vehicles could be seized. Some demonstrators were happy to pack up, saying their goal of calling attention to their demands had been met.
The demonstrations started last month, first with truckers who wanted to protest against rules forcing Canadian truckers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to cross the border into the United States. That protest has since grown and expanded into a general demonstration against COVID-19 measures, including mask mandates.
