Windsor, Ontario mayor seeks court injunction to clear bridge protesters
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens announced Thursday that he is seeking a court injunction to remove the protesters who continue to snarl traffic on the Ambassador Bridge, a key artery into the United States.
“To those who are thinking about joining the protest, let me just say this. You are not welcome here,” he said during an afternoon press briefing.
“We plan to be in front of a Judge of the Superior Court as soon as possible, hopefully today, and I’m hopeful that the facts of this application speak clearly to the court about the need for intervention.”
Dilkens said the economy is losing $400 million for each day the border crossing is blocked.
“Yesterday, I spoke to the importance of a peaceful resolution, and I still remain hopeful that goal can be achieved,” he added.
