As estimated 200 climate protesters of a body previously unheard of by most people were blocking traffic on the Bloor Viaduct Monday morning. The group was identified in the media as a British protest, Extinction Rebellion. There were also protests in London and Amsterdam today. Extinction Rebellion was formed a year ago with the stated aim of performing acts of civil disobedience. There are many tweets and pictures on Twitter.
Blocking the flow of traffic without getting prior permission from city hall is considered as interfering with the highway traffic act. Hope they were all given fines for disrupting traffic flow.
