It started in the summer of 2009 with U.S. government surveillance balloon hovering over the city of Sarnia, Ontario and led to a city-wide protest during which residents bared their bottoms to the camera.
With a population of 72,000 Sarnia borders with Port Huron, Michigan and in the most recent months has been dealing with fighter jets flying over the city’s downtown. The Michigan Air National Guard flies the planes out of its Selfridge base near Detroit and frequently over the border as part of it’s training routes.
Sarnia’s Mayor Mike Bradley has written to Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, asking him to investigate the fighter jets which create a lot of noise pollution and disturb the Sarnia community.
We’ll see what the city’s residents come up with now – mooning the fighter planes might not go so far!
