Ontario is declaring a state of emergency in response to the ongoing protests against public health measures in Ottawa and Windsor.
Premier Doug Ford says he will use legal measures to enact orders that make it clear that it's illegal and punishable to block and impede the movement of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure.
Ford says that includes protecting international border crossings like the Ambassador Bridge that links Windsor to Detroit, 400-series highways, airports, ports, bridges and railways.
The premier notes that fines for non-compliance will be up to $100,000 and up to a year of imprisonment.
