As for the border blockades, they already have all the legal power & policing resources to clear them, but for whatever reason the government wasn't acting. With the Windsor blockade went, I guess it was the Ontario Police.

Its all a big let me show you what I'm going to do now without actually doing anything. Has been from the start.

Uhm, ok I will...

• (a) the regulation or prohibition of travel to, from or within any specified area, where necessary for the protection of the health or safety of individuals;
• (b) the evacuation of persons and the removal of personal property from any specified area and the making of arrangements for the adequate care and protection of the persons and property;
