⚡️"Hold The Line": Canada Truckers Refuse to End Protest Despite Emergency
Trucker-led protesters occupying the Canadian capital showed no sign of backing down Tuesday, despite a newly invoked state of emergency granting wide new powers to end their weeks-long protest over Covid rules.
"Truckers are not going anywhere," said one protester who gave his name only as Tyler, sitting at the wheel of his truck parked outside parliament.
Authorities have until now proven unable to end the trucker movement, which has paralyzed the Canadian capital Ottawa for more than two weeks, snarling border trade with the United States and spawning copycat protests abroad.

🥑 Avocados will likely be in short supply and more expensive in the coming weeks if the U.S. suspension of Mexican avocado imports persists.
On Saturday, the Mexican government confirmed that the U.S. government had suspended all imports of Mexican avocados after a U.S. plant safety inspector received a threat.
The pause was a surprise, giving grocers, restaurants and consumers no time to prepare before Mexican avocado imports ground to a halt. And while the suspension is temporary, it’s unclear how long it will last.

😷 With the end of many statewide mask mandates, it’s up to local districts as to whether they will keep the requirement. Communities expect political and emotional fights ahead.
Some see masking as a potent health tool and a symbol of progressive values. Others have come to see face coverings as an unfortunate social barrier between their children and the world. Many people are somewhere in between.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics continue to call for school masking, and some polls show that the public is broadly supportive of the practice.
