Hundreds of cars and trucks lined either side of the highway at the Nova Scotia–New Brunswick border Monday morning as anti-carbon tax campaigners took their protest to the land crossing.
The protest kicked off early in the morning, with RCMP eventually closing the highway around 10 a.m., diverting traffic to a secondary road.
Traffic in the Aulac area of New Brunswick is at a near standstill, but there is some movement.
A RCMP helicopter is flying back-and-forth over the area, while nearly a dozen police vehicles remain on scene.
More to come.
