Sixteen-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg has joined Climate Justice Edmonton in a march to a rally at the Alberta legislature.  But at the same time as that rally began, a group of oil-and-gas supporters and a pro-pipeline truck convoy from Red Deer are expected to arrive at the legislature for a counter-rally.

United We Roll, which held a pro-pipeline convoy to Parliament Hill in February — says its members are frustrated with celebrities visiting the province and telling Albertans how to run their business.

The convoy started at Gorts Truck Wash in Red Deer at 7 a.m. before making its way up the QEII. Blackjacks Games Room in Nisku was also scheduled to serve as a staging area for the convoy before it traveled to the Alberta legislature in time for the noon climate rally.
