This morning the Macdonald Cartier bridge was a shitshow when I heard the traffic report at 6 a.m.
Also this morning around 7:30, someone pushed aside the pilons, opening up that exit off the bridge and backup disappeared.
Like you, I'm having a hard time thinking the city isn't supporting the protestors over the interests of the working truckers.
Now the police are tweeting
I'm beyond furious about this.

Interesting someone opened the Sussex exit but i don't think that was a decisive factor. It was open Monday and there a long delay though not 2 hours from Buckingham like yesterday. It does show bridge capacity with further growth will reach capacity.
Its less protesters now.but they seem angrier. More honking today than Monday it seems. Though steady honking is less annoying than intermittant.
