As It Happens
"Right now, there's 33 million people displaced by floods in Pakistan. Thousands of people are dying of starvation in Somalia due to extreme famine from crop failure," said Plummer. "And it took two young people throwing soup at a painting to get more people talking about the climate crisis, [more than] the millions of lives have been destroyed by climate disasters."
There is nothing we can do to change the climate. Focus on putting an end to planned obscellecence. Our products should last more then our lifetime. Our purchases can all be second hand. Our gas engines are more efficient then solely electric ones etc.
Ironically these losers Drove in cars to the Museums .
No these activists act like two year old having a temper tantrum.
I think many of us would like to speak to their parents and ask them if maybe their hard earned dollars spent on a university degree could have better been spent elsewhere.
Stop giving these climate vandals coverage, the attacks will stop
How did you not incorporate Justin Trudeau in this story to make him look good and demonize conservatives? Heir Trudeau will not be happy.
Just keep the art in bank vaults..
They should all be arrested and charged with vandalism!!!!
Give them automatic 10 jail sentences. That should help!
You don't say
No soup for you, kids!
Don't call them activists they love that makes them feel virtuous when actually they are vandals nothing more
MAKE HER PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. This is bullshit.
Where are the parents of these delusional middle schoolers? Charge them.
These are trudeaus hard left fans.
Brighter future? All they’re doing is pushing for human kind to go back to the Stone Age. Of course they won’t get the reactions they hope to get
Surprised CBC hasn't endorsed these acts!
FTXScam ClimateAction ClimateScam 🤮🤮🤮
Prison is the place for them.
Bring back the strap
Damaging someones property is still against the law right?
Somewhere along the line, climate protesters got hooked on stunts. The more those stunts fail, the more they double down. It’s really sad because it’s an incredibly vital issue.
I don't know what soup has to do with climate change or why humanity's collective masterworks are the target for these activists instead of politicians. Do the kids even know how to properly protest anymore?
Encouraging criminal behaviour….way to go 🤦🏻♂️ Maybe recommend to spoiled kids who don’t even bother researching what they’re angry about, to expend their energy by volunteering at a soup kitchen for the homeless.
Yeah. Fighting climate change by wasting food is not something ppl will support.
As every story misinformation Bs and your opinion . Not need a fairy tale !
.cbcnews NB:
I’m shocked 🙄
Liberals. Sheesh!
This is a result of our incoherent woke education system.
It is my opinion that the activists should pay for the art they are destroying. Hit em where it hurts.. in the wallet.
And you’ll love jail or be unlucky enough to run into a person with balls and get your head smashed in
Ya i agree of all the protest this the dumbest
This is criminal. But of course the left supports this type of damage to property.
Stop giving vandals so much good coverage you scumbags.
What more can one expect from the CBC these days....showing sympathy and platforming these clueless brats destroying a history that used to be valued, protected and celebrated....'You will know them by their fruits'....
Useless generation
Making themselves look like spoiled brats is all they are doing. No one has any respect for them as they look like fools. Leave them glued to the wall for a few hours…let them make their point as regular folk walk by and laugh at them
Their not activists, their criminals and should be thrown in jail w/o bail.
CBC is the soup… thats why you encourge this…
Because their message is being lost in the theatrics. Very few people really care about those paintings.
I would expect that every art gallery would take appropriate actions to protect priceless works of art so protesters glue themselves to a fake. Joke’s on you 😂
Well stop scamming then climate activist wouldn't be doing such a thing
They aren't activists. They're failed art school kids who want attention from the art world.
Anti-art radical lefties should be thrown in jail. That is all
Lock them up
There is no climate emergency. All these protestors look like fools.
'Whelan says that instead, protesters should be more thoughtful about the pieces they target' How can the CBC publish such crap from an activist who's critical of only the choice of target? Your encouraging this behaviour
Considering everything from the glue to the ink on the shirt to the hair dye to the steel can was made from oil or coal...they aren't doing to well themselves.
Why aren't people searched before entering the museum
I don't know if you are right. I do know that activists need to consider the consequences including unintended of activism, and learn to focus on activism that fully supports the cause. And politicians are not activists so that is something new politicians need to remember too.
What's the glue made from? How did they get to the art gallery? Oil will be with us forever and continue to make life easier These kids have been brainwashed.
If we humans mitigate Anthropogenic Global Climate Change it will be the single most important thing we've done since climbing out of the sea. Soup on glass will have had nothing to do with it.
The last victim was an Emily Carr painting in BC. Emily Carr was an outspoken environmentalist. That is how out of touch this movement really is. hypocrisy
If there's a way to effect actual change, I'm sure someone would love to hear it.
They weren’t trying to ‘win support’, they were trying to centre the conversation. Considering we’re still running headlines about this a month later, I’m fairly certain they succeeded in the impact they hoped to make
How about y'all hurl soup at CEOs instead
Only seeing mostly white kids participating in this stupid shit.
