A group of Lambton county farmers have once again parked farm vehicles on Highway 402. This time at Nauvoo Road.

Video posted by the administrators of one of the Sarnia group supporting the Ottawa protest says the protest began at 7:15 am Wednesday morning.

Petrolia’s David Buurma of Lasalle Agri and Bacres Farms was live streaming from the highway around 8:30 am about the closure saying they had shutdown the roadway. Several tractors and large CAT trucks – about a dozen vehicles or so in all – could be seen in the video but there was not the show of support for the protest on vaccine mandates the group had at the Bluewater Bridge Sunday where about 150 vehicles parked on the roadway.

Today, a pickup truck has a trailer loaded with two porta potties for the protest.

Buurma in the video says they wanted to make sure truck traffic could get through to the border so a lane was left open, but again the OPP shut the road down. “We love industry we want to keep it going,” Buurma says.

“Hopefully the government can turn these mandates down so we don’t have all these hassles and pains.”

“Right now it’s just farmers, just tractors out here doing our thing,” he says.

Lambton OPP are on the scene and are blocking off exits in the area as Buurma invites more people to join the protest.
