Premier Jason Kenney is calling for calm following an incident he said involved “people allied with the protesters” at the Coutts, Alta., border crossing, describing it as an attempt to “ram members of the RCMP.”
“This kind of conduct is totally unacceptable,” Kenney said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “Assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply doing their job to maintain public safety and the rule of law is completely unacceptable.”
The incident reportedly led to a collision with a civilian vehicle, Kenney said. He also called for people to stay away from the area while the RCMP carry out their action against the blockade.
