A mural of eco-activist Greta Thunberg was defaced in Edmonton, Alberta, with the vandal telling Thunberg to stop lecturing him on how to live his life.

The original mural portrayed Greta during her infamous “how dare you” rant in at the UN in September.

However, it lasted just a few days before being defaced by a vandal who spray painted over it the words, “Stop the lies: This is oil country.”

“My father has worked in the oil industry. We don’t need foreigners coming in and telling us how to run our business, support our families, put food on our tables,” the culprit told a CBC journalist.

“It is absolutely intolerant of them [climate activists] to tell us how to change our lives and our people. She should go back to her country and try to make her country better,” he added.

Another slur in French was added to the mural later that day.

Thunberg has repeatedly lectured Canadians to lower their standard of living while saying next to nothing about China, the biggest polluter on the planet.

As we previously highlighted, German drivers began displaying ‘f*ck you Greta’ bumper stickers to protest against being lectured about global warming by a 16-year-old child.

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members.

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
