Canadian truckers block the Ambassador Bridge (30% of all US/Canadian Goods cross here)

The closure of the Ambassador Bridge is particularly significant because nearly 30% of annual trade between the US and Canada comes through it.
"I've already heard from automakers and food grocers," Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said on Tuesday. "This is really a serious cause for concern".
On Wednesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the White House was watching the situation "very closely". She noted that authorities were tracking potential disruptions that the blockade could cause to agricultural exports from Michigan to Canada and the movement of workers back and forth across the border.

Good shut it all down truckers have the real power. Sure both sides will suffer but I bet they get the message. This is probably the only form of nonviolent protest with real teeth.

People don’t understand how important that bridge is logistically.
It would be like putting Long Beach port out of business for the US.

I listen to a Detroit AM news-talk station (sometimes) here in NW Ohio, and yesterday I heard a traffic report mention a TWO-HOUR DELAY bridge crossing. I hadn't heard "two hour delay" for vehicular traffic since living in Manhattan at 4pm on a Friday to exit the city via the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel, a decade ago!

That is a lot of stationary weight. I would worry about the structural integrity of the bridge.

Or the shipping ports in California? It's OK for the government to do it.
