THREAD: More here on today's injunction application to end blockade.

For the purpose of clarity - the formal plaintiff of this application is the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association.

City of Windsor "sought and was granted leave to intervene in support of the motion."

In order to make sure the defendents were fully aware of the motion, the judge mandated that documents be made publically available.

Here's the link to all that material:

It formally asks for an injunction "restraining and enjoining the defendants and any person having notice of the Order from impeding or blocking access to and from the Ambassador bridge."

Grounds cited include irreparable harm and the breaching of various City of Windsor bylaws.

It includes an affidavit from @APMA President @FlavioVolpe1.

In it, he says the blockade is costing $50 billion dollars per day, being felt by Canadian/Ontario/Windsor companies, and has already resulted in shutdowns and partial layoffs of companies the association represents.

"The APMA submits that it clearly has an arguable case against the Respondents in public nuisance, in that the Respondents' conduct has caused special damage in the approximate sum of $600 Million to the automotive industry in Canada."

Deputy Chief of Police Jason Bellaire has also submitted an affidavit expressing his belief that protesters are in violation of a number of Criminal Code of Canada sections.

Additional affidavits from Brian Kingston, president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association.

Also, a number of defendents were also identified through media reports and named in these documents as well.
