Hey there, time traveller!

Ottawa police say two people were arrested this morning after an “unlawful” demonstration outside Stornoway, the official residence the Opposition leader.
Greenpeace Canada says its activists blocked Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s house and two of them locked themselves to a replica oil pumpjack placed in the driveway.
The non-profit has been critical of Poilievre’s climate change voting record and his advocacy for the oil and gas sector.
Ottawa police say in a statement that about 12 people gathered outside Stornoway shortly after 7 a.m., blocking access to the residence with a “structure” and “not allowing the family to pass.”
Police say two of the demonstrators refused to comply with “repeated” orders to remove themselves from the structure and were arrested.
They say charges are pending against the two men who were due to appear in court today.
