Canadian farmers and activists are launching convoy protests across the country on July 23 to stand in solidarity with Dutch farmers who have been protesting against their government’s climate change policy since June.

Protests are set to take place simultaneously in several provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, several social media posts show.
