    Business, political leaders denounce ongoing Ambassador Bridge blockade

    Business, political leaders denounce ongoing Ambassador Bridge blockade

    WINDSOR – Protests for the third day in a row at the Ambassador Bridge brought traffic at the busiest border crossing in North America to a virtual standstill Tuesday, with business and political leaders denouncing the ongoing truck blockade as unfairly hurtful to Canada’s economy and citizens.

    The head of the Windsor chamber of commerce called actions by protesters blocking traffic at the Ambassador Bridge “completely unacceptable” on Tuesday, noting the harm already created for many businesses locally and beyond due to COVID-19 and various lockdowns.”Many businesses have been through so much in the last two years,” said Rakesh Naidu, CEO for the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce. “This couldn’t come at a worse time. To constrict the border like this will impact everyone not just in Windsor, but Ontario and Canada. You have thousands of businesses that rely on the border and trade coming through. You have inventory based on just-in-time delivery.”

    “Any disruption of supply can lead to shifts being cancelled and if it continues, closing operations. All of that doesn’t just impact the businesses in all the different sectors, but consumers like you and me. This is not just manufacturing, but goods we all consume as well, like fresh produce, or chemicals and fuel that we need.”

      So you support illegally blocking the border and causing businesses to shut down and workers to be laid off?

            Hmmmmm you are indicating you were impoverished as a Child???

            “Fake Freedom “ from the King of the CWB monopoly… blissfully stealing wheat and barley from Farmers bins until 2012…

            Fantastic that you remembered the million miles I drove to end your entertainment…as it is obvious the “fake freedom “ you were selling at the CWB… was deceit , intimidation and false liberty!

            Cheers

                State of emergency is absolutely laughable.

                Skippies advisors simple arent experienced enough with the situation - they have motivated even facilitated or escalated the current situation. They cant use social media to point to western Canadian truckers with the bridge blockade - oops.

                Most countries/provinces reducing or eliminating mandates etc around covid - yet skippy trying to hunker down with extreme danger and risk, trying to be a stubborn (strong) leader. I hope it all continues.

                Its a form of discrimination, all the other protests, blockades, demonstrations provide precedence for this.

                  Yeah you gave us the freedom to be shafted by the grain companies and railways. It is a great improvement, that is why you are all complaining about transparency. Blessings upon you.

                    PM Trudeau Calling folks who agree with people who have called out PM Trudeau (for his overreacting over reach)… “seditious occupiers” proves Trudeau , and his merry band of ‘thieves ‘, are as frightened as they are Arrogant. Name calling is for immature brats.
