\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 Canada – Ahead of a federal election, Greenpeace Canada activists projected powerful messages on the world famous Niagara Falls, including \u201cDon\u2019t Trump Canada\u201d, \u201cElbows up\u201d and \u201cRESIST\u201d. <\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace Canada is calling out politicians like Trump and Poilievre for spreading fear and division, while polluting industries like oil and gas seek to take advantage of a crisis they helped create. Greenpeace Canada is asking Poilievre and all political parties to protect people and the environment, not polluters and billionaires.<\/p>\n\n
