3 d. ago Ontario border struggles all week as outages back up trucks and airport kiosks

Ontario's border has been a mess all week, to say the least, as drivers and travellers continue to face long delays caused by repeated system outages at Canadian customs and border inspections kiosks. On Thursday, commercial truck drivers entering Canada at the Blue Water Bridge just outside of Sarnia reported waits of several hours due to a system outage that was confirmed by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Although the outage has since been resolved, videos of the resulting gridlock quickly spread on social media. In a statement, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) confirmed that while the outage has since been resolved, "commercial drivers continue to experience delays" as normal processing resumes and the agency works to clear a backlog of requests that were received during the outage. #BORDER: Six Hour Delay Entering Canada At📍Blue Water Bridge. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/kYpJKmGLXv— 401_da_sarpanch (@401_da_sarpanch) October 2, 202...
