The truck driver protest that started in Ottawa before spreading to shut Canada’s gateway to Detroit and its auto plants appears to be a bit short of one key element: truckers.A mile-long stretch of Huron Church Road in Windsor, Ontario, which connects with the Ambassador Bridge and downtown Detroit, was jammed with well over 100 pickup trucks, family sedans and even a pint-sized Smart car, shutting down traffic into the city all day Tuesday. Among the protesters blocking the roadway were just three semi trucks.The sight in Windsor stands in contrast to the convoy of freight trucks that has caused havoc in Ottawa for almost two weeks, showing that sentiment against Covid rules has spread. The streets of the Canadian capital have been choked with parked semis as truckers protest a mandate that drivers must be vaccinated before they can move across the border.
