Truckers Protesting In Canada End Last U.S. Border Blockade

Ottowa police were handing out leaflets Wednesday warning truck drivers to leave immediately or risk arrest.

A Canadian official says truckers protesting the country's COVID-19 restrictions are dismantling their last remaining blockade along the U.S. border. Meanwhile, the siege of Ottawa appears to be heating up.

The federal official says the final blockaders are leaving Emerson, Manitoba, opposite North Dakota, and border authorities hope to reopen the crossing in the afternoon.

The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday.
