The border blockade in Emerson mirrors the ones taking place in Coutts, Alberta, and in Windsor, Ontario, where truckers, farmers and their supporters are blocking access to the border for commercial traffic as a protest against lockdown restrictions, including cross-border vaccine mandates for long haul truckers.
Since January 28, a similar, much larger convoy has been protesting in Ottawa for an end to coronavirus regulations, garnering international attention and inspiration similar protests abroad.

Farmers could be seen using their tractors to clear snow to allow smaller vehicles to turn around in the meridian to avoid being stuck in the blockade.
