While protesters objecting to Covid-19 safety measures continue to idle trucks and camp out in downtown Ottawa, other blockades situated at the Canadian-US border this week are standing down.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced Tuesday that they have "worked to peacefully resolve the situation" with demonstrators at the last remaining major blockade in Emerson, Manitoba, and are expecting their departure Wednesday.
"We are now confident that a resolution has been reached and that demonstrators will soon be leaving the area and that full access to the Emerson Port of Entry will be restored," RCMP Chief Superintendent Rob Hill said in a statement.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
