 10 students took over a Victoria MP's office today to protest against the expansion of Canada's tar sands The time for sitting around in boardrooms talking about if we need to do something is long past we need to act now People paddled and peddled their ways from the Ocinoboyne footbridge to the forks and activists say they want climate change addressed I Want you to make the earth the water indigenous rights and human rights as a priority for your politicians Estimated 10,000 people gathered in Toronto Canada Sunday to call for climate justice and a green energy revolution We've known about climate change for decades, and we've waited our entire lives for our leaders to take action As an African-Canadian Caribbean, I see how our shared path of 500 years of colonialism Has left our children inheriting mother earth at what might be her weakest point since creation Canada needs to accelerate the transition from destructive climate-blooding sources like the tar sands and build a green just economy that many of our Communities so desperately want and need now The solution is you it has to come from you Faith communities enter into this march today they will do that as a prayer We are here because we know that the few have too many and that too many of us have too little We need to change the law that gives too much protection to the companies Our response is a commitment to the public sector the public interest Solidarity and justice If we are going to address the impending catastrophe in terms of climate above all else We must have a capacity to make just and rational and difficult choices
