"If only Legault liked the planet as much as his sister." This poster is refering to the awkward moment when François Legault kissed his sister on the mouth after the CAQ won a landslide victory in the last provincial election.

"Save a tree. Eat a lobbyist."

This could perhaps be best translated as "Wake up for fuck's sake!"

"Green with rage."

Many of the signs and chants today had a feminist charge.

Many other signs took aim at capitalism, the economic system that can be largely blamed for the current climate crisis.

"Which green is more important to you?"

At least flat-Earthers and people with common sense can agree on one thing: "Flat or round, the planet is in danger."

And, finally, this is not a protest sign, but an apt meme:

Congratulations to all the students who had the courage to take a stand today!
