Thousands of Canadians rally against Greta thunberg.

EDMONTON, Alberta (Reuters) - Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg's planned march in Canada's energy heartland of Alberta will face a counter-rally by a convoy of 4,500 oil and gas workers on Friday.

The truck convoy organised by pro-oil group United We Roll left the city of Red Deer on Friday morning, bound for Edmonton where the organisers plan to protest against outside interference.
