CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem suggested aggressive means to end the trucker protest in Canada on Thursday, including slashing tires.<\/p>\n
On her Twitter account, Kayyem shared a report from the Wall Street Journal that described the gridlock caused by the truckers on Ambassador Bridge, the largest bridge link between the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n
INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST WRITES WHAT THE TRUCKERS WANT FOLLOWING 100 FREEDOM CONVOY INTERVIEWS<\/p>\n
\"Footage shows trucks in gridlock on the Ambassador Bridge, a key trading link between the U.S. and Canada. It was temporarily closed early Tuesday amid growing protests against Canadas Covid-19 vaccine mandates,\" the WSJ reported.<\/p>\n
Kayyem suggested harsh penalties for truckers for blocking the Ambassador Bridge.<\/p>\n
\"The convoy protest, applauded by right-wing media as a freedom protest, is an economic and security issue now. The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada. Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks,\" Kayyem wrote.<\/p>\n

The protests emerged from opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, and several provinces have now agreed to roll back some restrictions.<\/p>\n
Although Kayyems idea appeared radical to some Twitter users, she doubled down on the tweet later.<\/p>\n
\"Trust me, I will not run out of ways to make this hurt: cancel their insurance; suspend their drivers licenses; prohibit any future regulatory certification for truckers, etc. Have we learned nothing? These things fester when there are no consequences,\" Kayyem tweeted.<\/p>\n
