The City of Windsor is suing the federal government over the costs incurred due to the Freedom Convoy blockade at the Ambassador Bridge in early 2022.

The lawsuit filed Monday alleges Ottawa promised to fully cover the city’s expenses related to the trucker convoy that cut off access to Canada’s busiest trade corridor with the United States for six days.

It alleges the city relied on that funding commitment in its budgeting process, only to see Ottawa refuse to reimburse more than $900,000 of the expenses after deeming them ineligible.
