Ford plant shuts down as Canada truck blockade hardens
TRT World says Truck blockades of Canada’s capital and US border crossings, including the economically vital bridge to Detroit, have forced the shutdown of a Ford plant as the company warned the protests could have widespread implications for the North American auto industry.
The blockade by people mostly in pickup trucks entered its third day on Wednesday at the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.
Traffic was prevented from entering Canada, while US-bound traffic was still moving.
The bridge carries 25 percent of all trade between the two countries, and Canadian authorities expressed increasing worry about the economic effects.
