Climate change protesters, pictured Sept. 27, 2019, on Parliament Hill. It's estimated that 5,000 people took to the Hill for the protest.

Isn’t this evidence that many Canadians will put their economic welfare ahead of melting glaciers,' writes Gerry Nicholls. The Hill Times photograph by Sam Garcia
