On the other side of the country, at the ongoing blockade of the Ambassador bridge in Windsor, Ontario, police are moving in to clear the bridge after threats of heavy enforcement from the prime minister.
"The border cannot and will not remain closed," Justin Trudeau says. "Everything is on the table, because this unlawful activity has to end and it will end."
