"MONTREAL - Teenage activist Greta Thunberg, who inspired a “flight-shaming” movement against air travel, is spearheading a climate change strike on Friday in Montreal where U.N. aviation leaders are gathering to debate plane emission targets.
The 16-year-old Swede is in Canada to support the protest, which is taking place less than a month before a federal election where the environment is voters’ top issue, according to Nanos Research polling, outpacing even the jobs and economy.
Both Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Green Party chief Elizabeth May will also be joining in the march."
