Ninety-nine young environmental activists achieved their goal on Parliament Hill on Monday by carrying out acts of civil disobedience. The boisterous group climbed over restricted-area police barricades near the Peace Tower. “Climate Leaders Don’t Build Pipelines,” read a giant banner. Protesting the possible construction of the Alberta to B.C. Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, the 99 were arrested and taken to a police station. They were issued citations and told not to appear on Parliament Hill for three months. None of those arrested saw the dark and damp insides of a jail cell. They will not have criminal records.
