It was very frustrating. The blockades themselves were obviously frustrating, but it was equally frustrating was not knowing.... For example, at the the Ambassador Bridge, carriers started to divert over to the Blue Water Bridge. Well, the protesters adapted. Although huge numbers didn't go over there, it was enough on public highways to stop the trucks and stop trade.
The same thing happened at the Peace Bridge and throughout Canada, even at Pacific Highway in British Columbia, where you would have people just running onto the roads. The impact was significant.
Although they weren't as fortified as those at Coutts, Emerson and the Ambassador, it was disruptive. At the time—hindsight is always a benefit—you wondered what was next and when was it going to happen again. It was erratic and it couldn't be predicted.
