Key US-Canada border bridge reopens after police clear blockade

Ambassador bridge linking Detroit and city of Windsor cleared of protesters, ending six-day standoff

The key Ambassador bridge trade link between Canada and the United States has reopened after police cleared the last Covid restriction protesters, ending a six-day blockade.

Police moved in to clear and arrest the remaining protesters on the border bridge early on Sunday, trying to end one of the main demonstrations that have broken out across Canada against Covid-19 vaccine mandates and other restrictions to bring the pandemic under control.
