How will Ontario's state of emergency declaration be used to clear what the premier described as 'illegal occupations' in Ottawa and Windsor?
But how will the measure actually be used to clear the group of trucks that has occupied Ottawa since Jan. 29 and the blockade at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, which connects Canada to the U.S. through Detroit, which started on Feb. 7?
The province said it will lean on fines and possible imprisonment for those who refuse to leave.
Ford said that fines for non-compliance will be “severe” and can reach as high as $100,000 and up to a year in prison.
“My message to those still in Ottawa, to those at our border crossings, please go home,” Ford said at a news conference Friday.
