Today, supporters of Last Generation Canada have once again disrupted travelers at Montreal’s  Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau International Airport, with three gluing their  hands to the road, blocking access to the arrivals area. The action  follows Wednesday’s hours-long disruption at the airport, where  supporters blocked access to the departures area, and an additional  action yesterday, when two supporters threw washable pink paint at a  door towards the departures area.

The actions are part of Oil Kills, an international uprising in support of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, with simultaneous actions happening across North America and Europe. Yesterday,  supporters of Letzte Generation gained access to the airfield at  Frankfurt Airport and suspended air traffic, while supporters of Folk  Mot Fossilmakta and Scientist Rebellion Norway blocked a check-in lane at Oslo’s airport.

Last Generation Canada is  demanding that the government sign a legally binding treaty to stop  extracting and burning oil, gas and coal by 2030, as well as supporting  and financing other countries to make a fast, fair and just transition.  They’re also calling on the government to create a permanent national  firefighting agency that employs 50,000 full-time firefighters and a  citizens’ assembly with legally binding power to decide how to tackle  the climate and ecological crisis.

Starting at around 12:30 pm EDT,  Last Generation Canada supporters started blocking the area towards the  airport’s arrivals area, with banners saying ‘Oil Kills.’ Three  supporters have glued their hands to the road, and remain on site.

Last Generation Canada uses  non-destructive, non-violent civil disobedience tactics. As a result, no  passengers or airport property were put at risk during the action.

Ben Welchner, an office worker, age 32, is one of the people taking action today. He says:

"Last  year's wildfire season was devastating, and it's not going to get  gentler going forward. Three out of four Canadians support a national  firefighting agency, and in a healthy democracy that would be enough. It  clearly isn't. Instead they're fueling the fire by expanding the fossil  fuel industry. We've tried being polite, and we've tried keeping our  disruptions out of ordinary Canadians' way. Now, if we want to survive,  this is what we have to do."

Vincent Lacombe, 27 years old,  who works as a pharmacy assistant, also took action. As to what  compelled him, Vincent said this:

"We  are here to put pressure on the government to sign the fossil fuel  treaty and put an end to fossil fuel extraction. We need a National  Firefighting Agency with 50, 000 firefighters because Canada is burning.  Just in the past week, we've seen Jasper burn to the ground, and floods  hit Montreal and Toronto. We've been voting, marching, signing  petitions and nothing has worked. We don't have time. The only answer is  nonviolent civil resistance."

The action comes after a massive  wildfire tore through Jasper, and Canadians take in the devastation of a  beloved and historic region. Wildfires also threaten other communities  in Alberta and British Columbia. The wildfires followed major flooding  last week in Toronto, which caused widespread disruption, and  confirmation that Sunday and Monday were the hottest days ever recorded.  Experts say continuing to pump fossil fuels into the atmosphere will  ensure extreme weather events like these will increase in severity and  frequency.

It’s clear – governments and  fossil fuel companies are waging war on humanity. Continuing to extract  and burn oil, gas and coal will kill millions of innocent people and  destroy whole nations. We have to stop them. Join the international  uprising taking nonviolent collective action to defend humanity. We  refuse to die for fossil fuels and we refuse to stand by while millions  are murdered. Our governments must sign a Fossil Fuel Treaty. We ask  everyone to join us in the resistance.
