MONTREAL - Environmental activists will hold demonstrations across Canada today as part of a series of worldwide protests against climate change.
The protests are part of the Fridays for Future movement that is inspired by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
A march and rally in Ottawa is set to get underway at noon, while Montreal organizers are planning what they describe as a teach-in on decolonization and Indigenous sovereignty.
Dozens of other events are planned in cities across Canada, including Quebec City, Calgary and Vancouver.
Using the hashtag #Peoplenotprofit, organizers are denouncing the role of colonialism and capitalism in causing climate change and are calling for reparations to be paid to those most impacted.
Youth organizers are planning climate demonstrations around the world, including some 300 in Germany alone.
