Trucker protests: RCMP begin taking action on trucker blockade near Alberta-Montana border

The RCMP have made an attempt to remove the blockade of truckers and protesters in Coutts, Alta.

They're demanding an end to COVID-19 and vaccine restrictions, after days of jamming a key route connecting to the U.S. border.

Police said what may have begun as a peaceful assembly quickly turned into an unlawful blockade and though they've tried to find a resolution, protesters have chosen not to comply.
