Canadian Climate Activists Disrupt House of Commons
---------------------------------------------------



In Canada, about 200 young people staged a protest inside the House of
Commons Monday forcing lawmakers to shut down the question period. The
activists were calling on the Canadian Parliament to pass a bill setting
out deep cuts in carbon emissions. Six people were reportedly detained,
and the police beat at least one protester.
