How did protesters scale Ottawa's Parliament Buildings?
OTTAWA — The RCMP are investigating how 19 Greenpeace protesters in blue jumpsuits and white climbing helmets were able to scale two buildings on Parliament Hill undetected and unveil huge banners from the roof.
It's believed the 14 protesters who climbed to the roof atop the West Block used scaffolding at the back of the building to gain access at about 7:30 a.m. Monday.
I do find it amusing that CTV is desperately trying to make the story about the security breach and the mechanics of how they got up there.
...yeah. Very amusing, indeed.
ReplyDeleteAnd what of the reaction to the Greenpeace logo in the Parliament Buildings since then? I'm not marching in lockstep with the organization by any means, but the ban on the wearing of their t-shirts seems...suspect.
