Global National: Feb. 12

The clearing has begun. Police are moving in to enforce the court order against protesters at the Ambassador Bridge blockade. They’ve disrupted North America’s busiest international crossing for six days now. A state of emergency is in effect in Ontario with demonstrations also underway at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie. And in Ottawa, thousands gathered in the downtown core and at the National War Memorial. A counter-protest is picking up steam. Sean O’Shea is in Windsor, Ont. at the Ambassador Bridge where police have begun to move in. Day 16 of what the prime minister and police are calling an illegal occupation in our nation’s capital. All available officers are being deployed to enforce safety and to encourage protesters to leave, but the disruption continues. Crowds swelled in Ottawa’s downtown core again and as Abigail Bimman reports, the National War Memorial has become a flashpoint.
