22 April 2007.  In celebration of Earth Day, Torontonians gathered at Metro Hall to call for action in response to the climate crisis.  Participants were demanding a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and a comprehensive and just economic, environmental, and energy policy.  They were pointing out that, having signed on to the the Kyoto Protocol, Canada is legally obliged to meet the objectives they agreed to.
