Serge, just noticed this in an article in The Guardian....
A judge on Friday ordered protesters at the Ambassador Bridge over the US-Canadian border to end the blockade that has now entered a sixth day.
On Friday, the Ontario premier, Doug Ford, declared a state of emergency in the province that will allow his cabinet to impose $100,000 fines and up to one year in jail as punishments against people who continue to illegally block roads, bridges, walkways and other critical infrastructure.
Chief Justice Geoffrey Morawetz of the Ontario superior court issued an injunction giving protesters blocking cross-border traffic until 7pm Friday to clear out. However, the deadline came and went.
Windsor police immediately warned that anyone blocking the streets could be subject to arrest and their vehicles could be seized.

OP
I can't believe this action isn't violent. They didn't mess around...police/snipers everywhere.

Follow the money if you can. Millions donated in 2-3 days? Ain't grassroots organizing.

Also, the American ones (or unAmerican ones) will have to pass through customs at the border.
