There was another protest pop-up with a blockade at the Emerson Manitoba crossing of the Canada U-S border early this morning.

All lanes of Highway 75 in both directions leading to and from the border have been blocked by Semi-Trailer trucks, farm equipment as well as passenger vehicles.

This blockade is happening to show support for and is being done in coordination with the blockades at other U-S Canada borders in Ontario and Alberta along with the protests happening in cities across the country including Ottawa and Winnipeg.

Canada Border Services Agency was notified about the upcoming blockade late Wednesday evening.

The protests and blockades are continuing to pop up to put pressure on the federal and provincial governments to end all COVID-19 mandates.

RCMP officers from the area as well as Winnipeg are headed to the blockade to try and open a dialogue with the protesters in order to keep the traffic moving in and out of Canada.
