After Blaine truck crossing closure last weekend, Canadians preparing for more protests

British Columbia authorities are preparing for a second weekend of protests by members of the “Freedom Convoy” at the Pacific Highway crossing at the U.S.-Canada border near Blaine.

Whether that will result in a second weekend of the truck crossing being closed remains to be seen. “We are aware of posts that have been circulating on social media indicating that there may be an additional convoy,” Surrey Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Vanessa Munn told CTV News.

The news comes less than a week after a total of 16 protesters were arrested by Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Surrey Sunday and Monday, Feb. 13-14, near the truck crossing and officials were forced to close the crossing and divert vehicle and pedestrian traffic to other border crossings in Whatcom County, which remained open.
