Joining in support of the Freedom Convoy that travelled to Ottawa in protest of COVID vaccine mandates and restrictions, a number of truckers formed a blockade on the Canada-United States border in Coutts, Alberta.

Rebel News' Kian Simone and Sydney Fizzard travelled to Coutts in the very early hours of Monday morning to get a firsthand account of the border blockade.

With the truckers and their supporters still protesting in the nation's capital, the group in Coutts shut down the border with the U.S. in solidarity. RCMP officers are now directing traffic elsewhere, though negotiations have led to one lane of traffic being allowed through.

Truckers Vow To Remain At Canada/U.S. Border Blockade

Tensions are ratcheting up with police and tow trucks descending on the scene. Blockaders have now opened up one lane of traffic to allow locals, school buses and emergency vehicles access to the border.

What started as a cross-border protest of hundreds of truckers and locals at the Coutts, Alberta-Sweet Grass, Montana border crossing Saturday morning had turned into a full-on blockade of the southbound lane of Alberta Highway 4 by Sunday.

The so-far peaceful demonstration was organized to show support for the Freedom Convoy that headed to Ottawa, which has now ground the nation's capital to a halt. That convoy began in opposition to federally-imposed vaccine requirements for cross-border truckers and has grown into a national movement against lockdowns and restrictions for all Canadians.

Reports of police and tow trucks moving in to clear the border circulated on social media.

According to Rebel reporters Kian Simone and Syd Fizzard, who have been on the scene of the stand-off since late last night, despite a winter storm and near-zero visibility, the protesters have voted to remain. Should they do so, they face fines $10,000 for a first offence or $25,000, as well as jail time.

The group gathered in a local establishment to pray.

American truckers at the border have offered support for the Canadian blockade.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney denounced the blockade on Twitter.

Kian and Syd will remain on the scene, providing us with live updates, as negotiations between truckers and police continue.

With the police moving to surround the protest, Rebel reporters risk being arrested along with the truckers, but Rebel News has a legal team standing by to help if our team is detained for doing journalism.
