Trucker protest organizers' intentions unclear as occupation drags on
Share! :D
On this episode of Global National: The trucker protest occupying Ottawa continues to drag on in nation's capital, raising questions over who's leading the movement and whether it was ever really about pandemic restrictions. As Ross Lord reports, there are rising concerns over far-right extremism linked to leadership, as the occupiers keeps disrupting the capital.
Meanwhile, the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich., remains partially blocked, as protesters continue to disrupt the crossing, calling for the end COVID-19 restrictions. As Sean O'Shea reports, frustration is mounting as truckers are forced to take a longer detour between borders, wreaking havoc on the supply chain.
As Ottawa police take action on defiant and highly determined protesters, officers' concerns are rising for the well-being of children who were brought along to the convoy's occupation. Abigail Bimman spoke to some of the children's parents on why they brought them there.
And with the occupying protests gaining international support, similar movements hoping to protest COVID-19 mandates are underway in other countries, especially the United States. Jackson Proskow looks at the false information and right-wing media fuelling much of that support.
Plus, Alberta is going ahead with its plans to loosen COVID-19 restrictions, as it becomes the first Canadian province to drop its proof of vaccination rules. But as Heather Yourex-West reports, anti-mandate protesters disrupting a busy U.S. border crossing remain unsatisfied, while only few other Albertans are pleased with the change.
Despite concerns remaining high for Canada's hospitals, more provinces are set to lift public health restrictions yet again, in a bid for Canadians to start living with COVID-19. Jamie Mauracher looks at why health experts are still worried over the ripple effects of removing measures too soon.
Finally, a look at Canada's latest triumphs and mounting medals at the Beijing Olympic Games.
