"Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state becomes lawless or corrupt." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Brigette Marcelle DePape (21) is a former Page who protested the Speech from the Throne by holding a red stop sign that said "Stop Harper."

Brigette Marcelle (aka Brigette DePape), 21 and a recent graduate from University of Ottawa, has been a page in the Senate for a year, but realized that working within parliament wouldn't stop Harper's agenda.

You can imagine the idiot politician's voicing their opinions on disrespecting age-old traditions, but they, like the media, just don't get it. She used phrases like 'Arab Spring', 'Civil Disobedience', in short she stole Heir Harper's thunder and in doing so woke up a lot of people to get up off their knees. She was fired immediately, but was offered a job immediately as well.

PSAC who offered her the job is the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

Her words need to be heeded:

"Contrary to Harper's rhetoric, Conservative values are not in fact Canadian values. How could they be when 3 out of 4 eligible voters didn't even give their support to the Conservatives? But we will only be able to stop Harper's agenda if people of all ages and from all walks of life engage in creative actions and civil disobedience," she says.

"This country needs a Canadian version of an Arab Spring, a flowering of popular movements that demonstrate that real power to change things lies not with Harper but in the hands of the people, when we act together in our streets, neighbourhoods and workplaces."

Meantime I'm having my Stop Harper T-shirt made up for July 1st, Canada Day, to be worn by thousands of us everywhere we live.

P.S. Hey Levi, this *new* E-coli seems suspicious, especially that it targets women. What's up with that?
