Following the blockade in Windsor, there are plans to hold demonstrations at the Peace Bridge this weekend. Commercial goods were transported with ease at the Fort Erie border crossing Wednesday afternoon, but industry and city officials are expecting trucker protests to cause major delays on Saturday.
The Ontario Trucking Alliance says a protest is in the works at the Peace Bridge Saturday, and its urging members to monitor border wait times and potential development of protests at these locations on a regular basis.
According to the Peace Bridge Authority, out of all border crossings across Canada and the United States, the Peace Bridge is the third busiest for commercial traffic.
Fort Erie Mayor Wayne Redekop says it's unclear how many protestors will show up but OPP will be policing the highway while Niagara Regional Police and bylaw will monitor off of the exits. If there is heavy traffic in town due to delays he isn't ruling out road blocks and fines. "The objective will be to make sure that traffic will continue to flow across the Peace Bridge and the community isn't obstructed in particular for emergency vehicles." When asked about whether police will be blocking roads to keep protests contained on Saturday, Niagara Regional Police will only tell us they will respond depending on the circumstances.
