Blockades at Canadian border crossings are coming to an end, but protests persist in Ottawa

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.
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
