Police resources are being poured into Windsor, Ont. to prepare for a potential operation to clear the blockade at the Ambassador Bridge, multiple sources have told Global News.

Protestors first blocked the Ambassador Bridge on Monday, disrupting cross-border traffic at one of the busiest land border crossings in Canada. The blockade is now on its fifth straight day, and demonstrators have dug in.
