Update (1550ET): At least 100 truckers are blocking the Canadian border between Alberta and Montana for a third day in protest of vaccine mandates - and Canadian officials are beginning to freak out.

On Sunday, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney called for an end to the blockade, saying in a statement: "Canadians have a democratic right to engage in lawful protests. I urge those involved in this truck convoy protest to do so as safely as possible, and not to create road hazards that could lead to accidents or unsafe conditions for other drivers."
According to the Calgary Herald, over 100 vehicles remain blocking the Southern Alberta highway.
Semi-trucks, cars and farm equipment filled Highway 4 south of Lethbridge on Saturday, in support of a national convoy to Ottawa with a stated goal of repealing a federal mandate requiring unvaccinated Canadian truckers re-entering Canada from the United States to get tested for COVID-19 and to quarantine. Some participating in both protests have expanded that goal, demonstrating against health orders and the federal government as a whole. -Calgary Herald
And it looks like Canada officials may be about to take action.
"If participants in this convoy cross the line and break the law, I expect police to take appropriate action," said Kenney.
The blockade of the Coutts border crossing violates the Alberta Traffic Safety Act.
It is causing significant inconvenience for lawful motorists and could dangerously impede movement of emergency service vehicles.

Kenney has previously warned that vaccine restrictions could disrupt the supply chain between the US and Canada.
The truckers, meanwhile, have voted to stay.
Surrounded and forced to make a difficult decision. Motion has passed, they are staying.
Stay tuned.

Canadian Prime Minister was accused of hypocrisy when he suddenly was nowhere to be found late last week as a convoy of truckers rolled into Ottawa to protest the government's COVID mandates. Many scoffed at Trudeau's sudden disappearing act when confronted by a massive crowd of protesters, many carrying signs mocking his comment that the truckers and their supporters were part of a "tiny fringe minority".
Making matters worse for the PM, Canadian media reported Monday morning that Trudeau had been diagnosed with COVID, despite receiving a booster dose early this month on Jan. 4.
Is it possible to get infected with COVID while being boosted and in hiding? Or has Trudeau really been stricken with COWARD-19?
The truckers are protesting a new measure imposed by the Canadian government on Jan. 15 requiring unvaccinated cross-border truckers to quarantine upon returning home, making it virtually impossible for them to work. The convoy ended outside Parliament in Ottawa over the weekend, as thousands of protesters gathered.
Trudeau had reportedly decided to isolate due to one of his children testing positive for COVID. Now it appears he too has tested positive. Of maybe this is just another excuse for him to remain in hiding?
Former President Trump praised the Canadian truckers over the weekend, proclaiming that they were doing more to protect American freedoms than any lawmakers.
According to his own quarantine requirements, Trudeau now has an excuse to remain in hiding for up to 14 days.
Looks like it is time to take a stand. What courage.
Like we do in south Texas?

No more mandates and free Diesel for a week.
I heard the new symptoms of the new variant are like getting hit by a truck.
This Premier reminds me of Kosygin.
Canadian Official has no clue what a Trucker’s job is and what could happen
Did anybody else hear that?
F@ck aboot and Find oot.
Caving on a zombie mandate for a vaccine that doesn’t work seems like free money laying on the table, Fidelito...
Unless Klaus Schwaub has videos’s of you molesting preteens or eating babies. We know blackface won’t cancel you.
The manufacturer of Remdesivir claims that there should be some improvement after nine days.
Hydroxychloriquine or Ivermectin cocktails cure in about five days, with major improvement within 12-24 hours.
If the commies don’t like it, they can get their own trucks
What action? Start shooting them?
If that happens all Hell will break loose.
I think it would be far more effective to STOP all Deliveries and Trucks to the Capitol and surrounding area, let them STARVE and FREEZE, wherever the Public Masters live, NOTHING gets Delivered by ANY Truck.
Oh he may want to rethink that edict. If those truckers say “oh, ok we’ll go home” who will deliver food, parts, fuel etc. you force those truckers to go home your worst nightmare begins.
The inbred swamp critters in Ottawa could care less about the plebs. Only something that makes THEM uncomfortable is going to change anything. You can’t comply your way out of tyranny.
Your graphic only proves they will never find Trudeau.He is a master of disguise!
And “appropriate action “ is what exactly?
Does he really think the police are going to be able to actually DO anything?
