Both Ford and Toyota on Wednesday said they were halting some production as anti-Covid mandate protesters blocked US-Canada border crossings that have prompted warnings from Washington and Ottawa of economic damage.


Protests have being causing gridlock in the capital Ottawa since late January, and from Monday night, truckers shut inbound Canada traffic at the Ambassador Bridge, a supply route for Detroit’s carmakers. 


A number of carmakers have now been affected by the disruption near Detroit, the historic heart of the US automotive sector. Toyota said it is not expected to produce vehicles at its Ontario sites for the rest of the week, output has been halted at a Ford engine plant and Chrysler-maker Stellantis has also been disrupted.
