Ambassador Bridge reopens after a week of protesting

The crucial trade bridge between Canada and the U.S. reopened late Sunday after being blocked by protestors unhappy about vaccine mandates, according to NBC News.

Windsor, Ontario police, led by Deputy Chief of Police Pam Mizuno, peacefully shut down the protest. Mizuno expressed a zero-tolerance policy for “any activity” on the bridge but recognized the legal right to protest on the sidewalks. 

The Ambassador Bridge controls one-fourth U.S-Canada trade overall. According to CNBC, this week’s protests have affected $392.56 million each day.

The protests have inspired backlash across the country, as well as similar protests around the world.

The International Olympic Committee made the decision to let Kamila Valieva, a Russian figure skater, continue to compete after being accused of using drugs during the 2022 Olympic Games, according to The New York Times. But, she will not receive a medal.

Valieva is a favorite in these Olympic Games and made a name for herself by helping Russia win an earlier competition.

In a recent statement, the International Olympic Committee decided that if Valieva places within the top three, there will not be a flower or medal ceremony. Once Vlieva’s case is concluded, there will be “dignified medal ceremonies,” said the IOC.
