Trudeau says Blockades Organized by Protesters threaten the Canadian Economy

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the blockades by protesting drivers against anti-covid restrictions in Canada were unacceptable and had a negative impact on the country's economy. The protest movement entered its 13th day, adds AFP.
“The blockades, the illegal protests, all this is unacceptable and has a negative impact on our stores, on our producers,” Trudeau told lawmakers in the Ottawa parliament.
The protests have paralyzed some major trade routes for several days.

Ford said the blockades had forced the company's factory to close and warned that the protests could have serious consequences for the North American car industry.
