What's Cutest now?: free press release directory list that day, more than a thousand environmentalists came to the Parliament Hill square at the center of Ottawa in spite of the rain. They held high the slogans "We care about reducing greenhouse gas emissions", "Yes, we can make it", "Are you willing to lose the future?" etc. Environmentalists required the government to stop the current ''nagtive attitude'' and take strong,effective actions to handle the warmer climate problem. Demonstrators rallied in the Parliament Hill, and then walked about 3 km to the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's residence for petition. The participating female college student Kaya Tomdak told Xinhua agency that Canada is one of the largest per capital carbon dioxide emissions releasing countries in the world, and this situation must be changed. She said ,""We hope Canada can have an ambitious (emission reduction) at Copenhargen(UN Climate Coference )''. Alex, another demonstrator said climate change has influence the life of human-being. If we do not take measure in time, we would meet disastrous result. He wore a super-size T-shirt with a clock pointing 3:50pm in both front chest and back. Alex explained that this number represented 350 ppm (1 ppm as 1 part per million). Scientific researches show that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere should be controlled within 350 ppm in order to mitigate the climate change.

It has a population of 33 million, while its greenhouse gas emissions account for 2% of that of the world. Canada's Environment Minister Prentice said on the 12th that Canada hoped to cooperate with the US on environmental issues, and establish a common goal and action plans for both countries on greenhouse gas reduction and formulating emission standards. "It gives chance to assort on environment issues in unitive frame when the Obama government reigned, as the USA is more Open-mindedness on environment issues." Prentce said on the news release conference on the same day. He stressed that, In view of the close economic tie between the two countries, it was not practical to act respectively in environmental and energy issues. Prentice also said that Canada hoped to reach an agreement with the United States on the "greenhouse gas reduction and trading system" to jointly deal with the global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
