Ontario Premier Doug Ford is declaring a state of emergency in response to what he says are illegal and no longer peaceful protests in Ottawa and Windsor, Ontario.
He says he will use legal measures to protect international border crossings, 400-series highways, airports, ports, bridges and railways.
Ford says anyone breaking the law could face fines of up to 100-thousand-dollars and up to a year in jail.
He says he will use every tool in the toolbox to re-open the Ambassador Bridge, telling protesters it is time for them to go home.
