The 16-year-old Swedish activist also addressed a large rally in Montreal, expressing her disappointment in world leaders for failing to deliver on their promises and for not having adequate plans. She stated that young people will continue to strike and protest until their voices are heard. Despite criticism from Trump and Canadian Member of Parliament Maxime Bernier, Thunberg believes that they are trying to silence her because they feel threatened by the growing movement. "We should view that as a compliment" should be seen as a positive. The climate strikes initiated by her began in Asia on Friday and then spread to Europe, following similar strikes the previous week. In New Zealand, tens of thousands of students led the movement. In Seoul, South Korea, around 500 students called for more government action on climate change and marched towards the presidential Blue House after a rally in the city center, where they criticized the government's lack of action. In the Netherlands, thousands of children also participated in a global climate strike by skipping school, blocking traffic, and challenging their leaders with the question "how dare you?". In reference to Thunberg's speech at the United Nations, Matthew McMillan, a 22-year-old mechanical engineering student at Concordia University in Montreal, held a poster that read "Make America Greta Again" as he participated in the protest with other students. He believed it was the most significant event of their generation. Nine-year-old Xavier Damien Tremblay, along with his three younger siblings and mother Maude Richard, also took part in the march, holding placards and chanting "protect the planet." Xavier expressed his concern, stating that it is their planet that is in jeopardy. Trudeau informs Thunberg that Canada needs to increase its efforts. Thunberg's visit to Canada aligns with the campaigning for the upcoming federal election on Oct. 21. She had a private meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, where she expressed that he is not doing enough to address the issue at hand. Thunberg's message to all politicians is to listen to and act on the science regarding climate change. Trudeau is pledging to take further steps towards addressing climate change, despite facing criticism for his purchase and expansion of a major oil pipeline in western Canada. At one of his campaign stops, a man was removed by police after shouting, "You are the problem! Climate criminal!" Another man attempted to throw eggs at the prime minister during a Montreal march, resulting in police intervention. Video footage showed Trudeau comforting his son, who seemed scared and was crying after the incident. Trudeau described his meeting with Thunberg as a positive experience, stating that they discussed the urgent need for greater action. Aviation leaders from the United Nations are currently meeting in Montreal to discuss ways to reduce the environmental impact of the industry. Despite commercial flying only accounting for 2.5% of carbon emissions, experts warn that emissions will increase if more is not done, especially with passenger numbers expected to double by 2037. ICAO expressed support for the recent climate march, emphasizing the need for faster innovation to address aviation's environmental impacts.
