RCMP begins dragging away protesters, vehicles at Coutts border blockade

CTV News: "The border crossing has been effectively shut down since Saturday, when the mass of people and vehicles arrived in support of a nationwide protest against pandemic health measures.


"Premier Jason Kenney took to Twitter to denounce the blockade on Sunday, and on Monday he again called for it to end.


""It is causing significant inconvenience for lawful motorists and could dangerously impede movement of emergency service vehicles," Kenney wrote on Twitter.


"He also reiterated statements about all Canadians having a "democratic right to engage in lawful protests," but drew the line at creating hazards for others. The premier referred to the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act, which was created in 2020 to allow law enforcement to punish protestors who impair critical economic infrastructure."
