HALIFAX A meeting of the four Atlantic premiers Wednesday afternoon ended with officials from Nova Scotia set to consider a proposal from New Brunswick to end a blockade of the Trans-Canada Highway by protesters angry at Nova Scotia s COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The blockade near the New Brunswick border on Wednesday caused traffic chaos, disrupting commerce and leading to the cancellation of more than 100 medical appointments.
The protest began after the Nova Scotia government announced Tuesday one day before the province s boundaries were to reopen to free travel from the rest of Atlantic Canada that travellers from New Brunswick would need to self-isolate upon arrival even though people from Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador wouldn t have to. New Brunswick travellers would be subject to isolation requirements based on their vaccination status and COVID-19 test results.
