COUTTS, Alta. — As the trucks and other vehicles rolled out, with horns blaring, Alberta RCMP officers shook hands and hugged the protesters who had paralyzed a United States border crossing for more than two weeks.
Protesters had been restricting access to the main Alberta border crossing in Coutts since Jan. 29 to rally against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and broader public health restrictions.
The protesters left voluntarily, Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesperson Gina Slaney told Reuters. The border has now reopened in both directions.
