'Historic' Toronto climate march calls for new economic vision
by Martin Lukacs from on (#DFBW)
More than 10,000 people demonstrate for "jobs, justice and climate action" in Canada
Demonstrators from a huge diversity of organizations marched boisterously through downtown Toronto on Sunday calling for a paradigm-shift in how climate change is addressed.
Not a typical protest of environmentalists, it attracted labour unions, First Nations, anti-poverty and faith groups, health workers and immigration rights activists who all underlined the need to change an economic system so it "works for people and the planet."
