won't make it to downtown but will be redirected to a parking lot somewhere.

Rumour that the original Convoy will move to Toronto.

Ambassador Bridge, where 100s of millions of car parts cross between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario every day, has been shut or 3 days. So that puts auto parts workers jobs in danger. There have been layoffs. But FOX News says these Trucker occupations are between the common man and elites. (Representative from the Canadian autoparts manufacturing association just said this is putting future investment in danger). Way to try to align populists in Canada to those in the USA. We get American news in Canada and see how populism is really all about authoritarianism in the USA. It benefits the Plutocrats with policy for them while the common man is in a cult, gets no policy to make their lives better, at at times faces charges from police. But they get to parade.
