A group of climate activists threw paint on the entrance to the Prime Minister's Office in Ottawa on Saturday, while one of their supporters chained herself to the entranceway.
Topless at first, the protester is later seen with a sweater on.
"We are here in Ottawa to demand a citizens' assembly to address the desperate need for Climate Action Now, not in the 5 to 10 years our government has slated," Ever, the protester who chained herself to the office building, is quoted saying in a media release from the group. The group says it took the actions in part to raise awareness for an upcoming caravan coming to the city in August.
