Trucker protests: Demonstrators block Alberta highway near busy US border crossing |
|
Dozens of trucks and other vehicles began arriving on Saturday at southern Alberta’s Coutts border crossing.
Protesters gathered amid the large trucker convoy reaching Ottawa, demonstrating against mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and other health measures. An RCMP traffic advisory remained in place Sunday for Highway 4, south of Lethbridge to the Canada-Montana border. The advisory was issued Saturday when protestors fighting COVID-19 restrictions clogged up the road at the Coutts crossing. Traffic was backed up about two kilometres early Sunday afternoon.
