Local artist AJA Louden painted the portrait of climate activist Greta Thunberg on a graffiti wall in the Alberta capital Friday. On Sunday, as a reporter from CBC looked on, a grown man spray painted a message—“This is Oil Country—over Thunberg’s face. He added that Thunberg should “just shut up” until she had “solutions.”Thunberg, 16, spoke to a crowd of thousands in Edmonton on Friday. Louden posted a video of his mural, painted on a kind of free-expression wall near the Alberta legislature, on Twitter Friday. When CBC returned to the mural later Sunday, a reporter found another man painting another slur over her face.
