Canada opens blockaded bridge, but in Ottawa, truckers won’t budge
Amid progress at a border bridge, Ottawa remained frozen by an antigovernment protest. There were signs of a slight thaw, with truckers said to be weighing pulling out of part of the capital.
Canadian officials reclaimed the Ambassador Bridge, a major international crossing, after it had been blockaded for nearly a week. But Ottawa remains paralyzed by an antigovernment protest.
The police said traffic could resume over the Ambassador Bridge once conditions were deemed safe. A deal might be in place to move truckers out of residential areas in Ottawa.
Ottawa Public Health says it has started giving fourth doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to residents in long-term care and retirement homes, with the goal of reaching them all by the end of January.
