US auto factories disrupted by Canadian trucker rally
CNN
After a year of computer chip shortages, supply chain problems and temporary plant closings, this was about the last thing the auto industry needed.
The protests by Canadian truckers, upset with Canadian vaccine mandates, have been tying up traffic on the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, a key chokepoint for goods moving between the two countries. It has become yet another supply chain problem for automakers.
Plants on both sides of the border, from the Toronto suburb of Brampton, Ontario to Georgetown, Kentucky some 600 miles away, found their assembly lines slowing or shutting down because they can't get the parts they need over their common border.
