(Radio Iowa) – The owner of a Marshalltown towing and auto business showed his support on Tuesday for truck drivers who are protesting mask mandates in Canada. Lonnie Hogeland Senior, the owner of L. Hogeland Auto Plaza, held a display of solidarity with the Canadian truckers by parking tow trucks and other vehicles along the property lines of his business. Several trucks were lined up along the edge of Hogeland’s property line, which runs along east Main Street, with their engines running and lights flashing as a means of protesting the current mask mandate in Canada.

In January, a large group began protesting against mandates requiring truckers crossing the U.S./Canadian border to be fully vaccinated. The protest has been dubbed the “Freedom Convoy” by its supporters.
