Ambassador Bridge cleared, but wide-spread protests continue to gridlock Ottawa

The Ambassador Bridge border crossing between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is open after Canadian police cleared out protestors. The so-called Freedom Convoy — a group of truckers and protesters who caused gridlock last week at the crossing — is continuing their widespread disruptions in Ottawa.

The 3-week-old movement began in protest of vaccination requirements for truckers, but now includes opposition to wide-ranging mandates and government policies, some unrelated to the pandemic.

Tom Parry is covering the story for CBC in Canada and joins host Celeste Headlee with the latest.
