During a Friday news conference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for an end to the blockades at the Canada-U.S. border, specifically in Windsor, Ont., as protesters continue demonstrations against COVID-19 mandates.
The group, dubbed the “Freedom Convoy,” has been planted in the streets of Ottawa demanding an end to COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other pandemic health restrictions.
Trudeau also said that he understands Canadians’ frustrations about COVID-19 and public health restrictions, but “illegal” blockades are not the way to go.
“The illegal blockades seeking to take our neighbourhoods and our economy hostage, and the collective COVID fatigue we are facing, are two very separate things,” the prime minister said.
Trudeau added that he spoke with U.S. President Joe Biden about the border blockades, specifically in Windsor, Ont. He discussed global and American influence on the protests, the U.S.-based flooding of 9-1-1 phone lines in Ottawa, the presence of Americans participating in blockades and the use of foreign money to fund this “illegal” activity.
Plus, the prime minister stressed that military intervention on civilians should be avoided “at all costs.” This is why, he said, the solution is focused on police forces, enforcing existing laws and protecting public order are the ways to deal with the ongoing trucker protests and border blockades.
This update comes after Trudeau held a meeting with leaders of opposition parties Thursday evening, where he said he briefed them on the latest developments of the trucker convoy protests and blockades.
The White House is calling on Canada to use federal powers to bring an end to the trucker blockades at key Canada-U.S. border points.

Trudi is the new Karen
You gotta give it to him, Truckers Freedom Convoy was gaining support & had the potential to become the second wave of "BLM" republican edition. Trudeaus could not lose to a fringe minority and the only way to Checkmate was with Emergency Powers giving him full control of Police like Nimbus as well as Freezing/Seizing assets for "repairs"
Traitor. Like his dad. Or Pierre.
He is the worst actor going
Turdolph, YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND IN JAIL
Ce convoi de la liberté a été mis en place par Trudeau et ses acolytes, ils ont besoin de l'état d'urgence pour passer des budgets et des lois controversés et surtout impopulaire. C'est la même chose avec Legault et son urgence sanitaire, Des centaines de millions donnés sans appel d'offre qui partent dans des comptes un peu partout.

When are travel restrictions being lifted in Canada? As it stands I still have no rights unless I take the forced vaccine. Trudeau letting unvaccinated foreigners enter Canada but we can't even take a train locally.
Wouldn't it have been cool to know that in a couple weeks from this speach he would be bashed on his trip to Europe because he is a forked tongue demon. This is a very stupid PM and should be shunned and avoided at all costs, he is a racist, misogynistic, authoritarian person that has ever been in the office of PM. He has the audacity to call Canadians what he "is" he should look in the mirror.
Already I gave you my house key.after the immigration take it.thank you.
