For Naia Lee, who is part of the Sustainabiliteens' march-organizing group, Thunberg could help take local Vancouver climate rallies to the next level. "We've been focusing a lot on fighting for climate justice, fighting for Indigenous sovereignty, fighting for environmental rights as human rights so it's great that she's coming to amplify our messages like that," she told CTV News Vancouver.
Sixteen-year-old Thunberg rose to global prominence by staging weekly climate strikes outside the parliament building in her native Sweden. Her demand for more aggressive action to combat climate change inspired the Fridays For Future movement, which has seen students around the world join in the weekly protests."I reached the Pacific Ocean," her post said, with a photo of her that appears to have been taken from seawall in Stanley Park.

Idiots with no real jobs
We are chasing the wrong issues, the government propaganda machine directed by Butts is working effectively. Newspapers report this nonsense with no research into foundation and kids pick it up as gospel. Wake up and start to worry about real issues. Keep propaganda alive
