On Monday, delays were reported at the U.S./Manitoba border as a group of truck drivers demonstrated against new vaccine requirements that went into effect over the weekend.

Starting around 3 a.m. on Monday morning, a group of truckers performed a “slow roll” protest on Highway 75 between Emerson Duty Free and the Commercial Inspection station in Manitoba, according to Global News. The demonstration reportedly blocked all lanes of traffic at the border and caused traffic disruptions.
