Two Greenpeace protesters were arrested on Nov. 21 after chaining themselves to a replica oil pumpjack outside the Ottawa residence of the Opposition leader.

Protesters placed the structure in the driveway of Stornoway residence, where Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre lives with his family. Greenpeace said in a release its activists staged the protest to draw attention to what they call Poilievre’s “anti-climate” agenda.
