Activist GretaThunberg rallies in Canada ahead of an election in which climate change is a hot topic

EDMONTON, Alberta - Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg joined thousands of protesters marching in Canada’s energy heartland Alberta on Friday, as a smaller counter-rally led by a truck convoy of oil and gas workers also converged on the provincial capital Edmonton.

“I came out to show support for Greta and everyone fighting against the climate crisis,” said protester Bridget Gutteridge-Hingston, 13, who marched with her father.The truck convoy organized by pro-oil group United We Roll drove from the city of Red Deer to Edmonton Friday morning to protest against what the group called foreign activists campaigning against Canada’s oil and gas industry.

The truck horns sounded in the distance throughout Thunberg’s speech and there were around 150 counter-protesters in the crowd. After she left the stage shouting broke out between pro-energy demonstrators, armed with a noisy bull horn and yelling “We need oil and gas”, and climate marchers. A 2018 study by Stanford University researchers ranked the Canadian oil industry’s upstream emissions as the fourth most carbon-heavy in the world.
