Three protesters caused traffic chaos in Ottawa on Tuesday morning, leading to delays and a multi-vehicle crash. The individuals scaled highway signs on Highway 417 at Woodroffe Avenue, displaying banners with the message “last generation.” The protest is linked to the Last Generation Canada activist group, which advocates for climate action and firefighting agency creation. Police arrested and charged the protesters with mischief and common nuisance – endanger life, and they are scheduled to appear in court later. Images shared on social media showed Ottawa Fire Services cautiously bringing down the protesters using aerial trucks.
