Climate march; largest protest in Montreal’s history

TEHRAN – Thousands of climate protesters pour onto the streets of Montreal, Canada, in September 27, 2019. Called the largest protest in the city’s history, the rally was led by a 16-year-old Swedish environment activist Greta Thunberg, who called on all the workers, unions, community groups and students to attend a one-day strike to highlight the existential threat climate change poses to citizens and the economy, with a motto of “our house is on fire”.
