Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have commenced enforcement activities against a blockade established by truck drivers at the Coutts, Alberta border crossing to Montana and in Ottawa and Toronto. The blockades were organized as a protest against mandated vaccination required for all truckers entering the U.S. from either Mexico or Canada. It is a matter of record that 90 percent of Canadian truckers are vaccinated against COVID along with 80 percent of the population.

The blockades have seriously inconvenienced travelers both north and southbound.  The truck drivers who are predominately of South Asian origin are now complaining of lack of food and services resulting from their own action.

The RCMP issued a statement that they would soon arrest truckers and remove the blockades that are strongly opposed by many truckers, manufacturers, the Provinces of Alberta and Ontario and ranchers.
