Got a hunch those blockades come to an end real soon.

“International commerce needs to resume,” Matt Moroun, chairman of the Detroit International Bridge Company, owners of the Ambassador Bridge, wrote in a media release Tuesday.
“We encourage the appropriate officials to take prompt action to alleviate the situation as quickly as possible in a manner that reflects mutual respect.”
Moroun says they “sympathize” with transport truck drivers caught in the blockade.
About $300 million in trade flows across the Ambassador Bridge every day, according to Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association (APMA).
Volpe believes the auto industry in Canada will be impacted with 24 hours.
“This small group of protestors, as loud as they may be, is going to get a big lesson in international relations very shortly,” says Volpe.
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens had his own warning for demonstrators.
“Blocking the international border crossing will not be tolerated for very long,” he told The Canadian Press in a phone interview.
