Trucker protests: State of Emergency in Ontario ‘very positive step,’ LeBlanc says

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities Dominic LeBlanc said Friday that the federal government welcomes Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s declaration of a state of emergency in the province. He said the punitive economic measures against those using trucks in a way that is “illegal and disruptive to public safety and the economy of the country” is a “very, very positive step.”
