The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says the Ambassador Bridge border crossing between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit reopened late Sunday. The crossing — one of the busiest in the country — had been closed for nearly a week by a blockade protesting COVID-19 measures. The bridge sees hundreds of millions of dollars in imports and exports cross it each day, and politicians on both sides of the border decried the economic impact of the protest.
Earlier Sunday, police moved in on protesters, arresting at least 25 people to break up a days-long occupation near the bridge, which normally carries 25 per cent of all trade between Canada and the U.S. Follow border wait times on the CBSA website
