Ford Announces More Severe Consequences for Protestors

Monday, 14 February 2022 12:48

"Let me be clear if you choose to use your vehicle to create chaos, you will lose that vehicle and your licence. Plain and simple." 

Premier Doug Ford is warning protestors they will start losing their vehicle and their licence. 

Ford says several vehicles were seized at the Ambassador Bridge and the Bluewater Bridge over the weekend.

"A number of personal vehicles were seized over the weekend and those seizures will continue. Let me be clear if you choose to use your vehicle to create chaos, you will lose that vehicle and your licence. Plain and simple." 

All border crossings in Ontario are operational today. Ambassador Bridge is running with an increased police presence. 

Ford is telling protestors it is time to go home. 

"To those of you who are there with a sole objective of causing disruption and chaos, there will be serious consequences for this lawless activity. We will continue to raise the consequences against those who are holding millions of jobs and people hostage." 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with all of the Premiers today to discuss the ongoing protests. He is going to Emergencies Act, which will give the Federal Government more power to act. It would also allow them to bring in the military, something the Prime Minister has repeatedly stated he does not want to do. 

No arrests were made in Ottawa over the weekend where protestors continued to make their concerns heard. 

Thousands of people were in the nations capital this weekend at the protest, which included live music and fireworks. Protestors were given parking tickets this weekend. They were also given $20 just for showing their support.
