It looks as if the OPP are now playing politics too. The protesters blocked 2 lanes of the 402 but left the 3rd lane open as requested but the OPP closed the highway anyways "due to safety concerns". There was no reason why it had to be completely closed. In Coutts, AB they bargained to get one lane open both ways but here the OPP closes the lane that the protesters kept open.
