Ottawa U.S. Embassy vandalized by climate activist

A climate activist sprayed pink paint on the U.S. embassy in Ottawa on Tuesday. This act was carried out by a member of Last Generation Canada, who protested against U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. Earlier, the group also targeted a Tesla dealership in Montreal. Footage shared online shows a woman in a pink vest painting the embassy's walls. She was quickly detained by security. The activist, Gillian Graham, explained that she is frustrated with the influence of billionaires on climate action. She believes their focus on profit harms efforts to combat climate change. Last Generation Canada is urging the government to create a climate disaster protection agency funded by taxes on billionaires. The group claims Tesla's owner, Musk, is responsible for serious environmental harm. Their protests come in response to a rising wave of vandalism against Tesla cars, with police reporting over 80 incidents in Hamilton alone. After spraying the embassy, Graham was handed over to police and charged with mischief. She was released but faces possible additional charges. A U.S. Embassy spokesperson said they take security seriously but did not comment further. Graham has a history of protests, having previously been arrested for other acts of civil disobedience. She plans to defend her latest actions as necessary for the greater good, stating that the real criminals are those harming the planet.
