Reuters reports Ford is examining air freight as a way to sidestep the logistical nightmare around Ambassador Bridge as demonstrations against pandemic measures and vaccine mandates have chocked a key artery of US-Canada trade.

A recap of the production halts due to the protests in Canada

WASHINGTON : Toyota Motor Corp, General Motors Co (GM), Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis said they had been forced to cancel or scale back some production at North American plants yesterday because of parts shortages stemming from Canadian trucker protests against pandemic mandates. The truckers, who oppose a vaccinate-or-quarantine requirement for cross-border drivers, have used their big rigs to snarl traffic at the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario – which accounts for about 25% of US-Canadian trade.
