CTV
Ontario Provincial Police are warning motorists about the potential for significant delays as a trucker convoy protesting vaccine mandates, among other things, makes its way through the Greater Toronto Area today.
The group of truckers began a cross-country trip in British Columbia over the weekend and are headed to Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
There are at least two groups – one which is headed straight for the nation’s capital and another that is reportedly travelling from Windsor.
On Thursday Ministry of Transportation cameras captured a large crowd of several hundred people lining a highway overpass above the Queen Elizabeth Way in St. Catharines ahead of the convoy passing through the area. There was also a large crowd of demonstrators observed at a planned meeting point in Vaughan Mills.
The protest was initially organized in response to a new rule prohibiting unvaccinated truckers from crossing the border without quarantining.
