way to go Brigette.... so proud to see you up here speaking ur opinion!!! keep going and do ur thang. don't let no one stop you in what you believe in. best of luck in ur future. xox
Obsean10001 WOW! If people like this idiot is voting for Harper then I know that both Brigette DePape and I are voting against the right Guy. She is great and this moron is a Fucking Freak. I guess that you need to criticize what you don't understand?
harakA The difference between Brigette DePape and the "terrorists" is that I would have NO problem sitting on an airplane with Brigette DePape, certainly would with an terrorist. How in God's name could you possible compare a young idealistic, very intellegent woman with any terrorist group. And you call me a "fucking idiot." What happened to you when you were young that made you so bitter?

I've been reading some of the comments and I am very worried about the level of HATE that I see against this woman because she has an opinion, an opinion that may differ from these people. I use to believe that we lived in a tolerant country. We used to brag about ourselves when we compared ourselve to the U.S.A. Now I am not sure that difference still exists. Maybe this is the result of the new "Harper" vision of Canada! I see it in every political party, Jack. Where were you after the G20?
@humblebumble13 You say that ""her method of change [is not] effective." That is not true. People are talking about her actions and that in itself is what makes it effective. First, you bring the issue to the public and then you bring about that change. It is a huge uphill battle to stop Harper. Harper has proven that he has NO RESPECT for any opinions other than his own and now with this majority he can run rough-shoot over the rights of any and every Canadian he wants. Look at Toronto!!
I am quite worried about the state of our planet. There are still people out there that think that global warming is a myth. What the hell are NORMAL people going to do? THEY are running our country, the Harper Conservatives, and like-minded people. I guess we can all just kiss our planet good-bye!
@hsrakA1 I really don't care if you agree or disagree with Brigette's opinion but to call her a dumb bitch just proves to me that you are not very open-minded and that any opinion other than yours is wrong.
Unfortunately, I am from that older generation that seems to have given up their integrity for the sake of profit; I'm in my 50's! It' seems to me that my generation has learned to glorify a pre-60's WAR and PROFIT mentality and then along comes this young, intelligent young woman who has the integrity that my generation lost. Thank you Brigette for rekindling my moral outrage! We must stop the facist Harper government now!!
@bgd360 ...........well, its not likely she's sent by the tories to instigate dissent. i cant see her as an agent provocateure. the tories would be more subtle.
Stupid act this is, I think it would have been much more entertaining if she had stood up there pulling handkerchiefs and maybe a couple of dwarfs out of her box rather than this mentally challenged pile of shit. I've had more creative Monday morning craps than this garbage.
I mean she's likely smart enough to get another job fluffing on a porno set along with "BoredonCorner", otherwise I couldn't even see her slinging french fries.
@humblebumble13 She represents anyone who has enough integrity to know that a government that has been charged with cheating in at least one election, is being investigated for war crimes, has repeatedly broken the law on other occasions, and either ordered or approved of the wrongful arrest of a thousand peaceful protesters, has no business being in power.
By all rights, the Conservatives should have been disqualified from this last election, just from the contempt and fraud charges.
She's an actress/artist? Makes me wonder who got her that Senate page job. A liberal strategist? Looks like it was planned all along. Typical politically staged drama to keep the people involved in the political system.
@EgoNamahaNemoRex At least De Pape actually did something -- how many Canadians didn't even bother to vote, against a clearly corrupt and criminal government?
And if she should be held in contempt, fine -- but Harper should get the exact same punishment as her (don't forget, he was held in contempt of Parliament).
@BoredomCorner 1. He was not held in contempt nor was he ever charged. Bev Oda was charged and the house dissolved prior to any finding of contempt - you moron.
You damn idiots don't know the first thing... not about Canadian law nor about the "facts", fuck off.
@partyhouse88 God are you an idiot! Global warming is REAL but there is no profit in stopping it for all you rich morons who think that you have the right to destroy OUR planet so you can make a profit from YOUR destruction. I only hope that future generations can forgive YOU for being stupid!
Government shouldn't be worried about the actions of Canadians. Canadians should be worried about the action of Canadians. That's the problem with liberals you can't do anything without government. I bet conservative households are greener then liberal households. We tend to be cheaper and find solutions to improve our financial situation. I have solar panels, rain barrels, LED lights and my lesbian liberal neighbour left her AC on all day yesterday.. It was only 20 degrees outside.
@chad071981 You use the word 'liberal' like it's a bad thing. Look up the definition in a dictionary some day. you know what that is right ? It's a big book full of words and their meaning.
Cons do tend to be cheap. Cheap when it comes to health care, cheap when it comes to the environment. Maybe you wouldn't mind a return to 19th century infant mortality levels, so long as it saves you a few dollars in tax, or am I tarring all cons with the same brush.
@chad071981 Way to generalize millions of Canadians who aren't so narrow-minded as to let party labels define them. You sound like a good lap-dog for Harper. Walk into the PMO, begin with "that's the problem with liberals..." and I'm sure you'll wind you running their communications office or something.
@mglsp This coming from the jerk with nothing but trolling and generalizations to bring to the table.
At least this girl had the nerve to make a stand, in an age when criticizing Harper can get you arrested and beaten (just ask the G20 victims). What have YOU done?
Oh yeah, Is she ever a brave soul, she got herself fired from a job that was all but over. Taking a stand? Against what, reasonable government that doesn't go off spending billions on half-assed social programs? People like you are seriously delusional. As far as the G20? That was McGuinty's Ont. Libs and Lefty Chief Blair that organized those beatings, not Harper. Look up who is responsible for what in government and try again. Educate yourself...
@mglsp Take a look at some of the threats she's faced for simply not liking Harper -- I've personally had people CALL MY HOUSE AND THREATEN ME over criticizing him in the paper.
And I'm REALLY delusional because I'm against a government that splurges BILLIONS on jails that we don't need? And maybe you didn't notice, but the G20 was a FEDERAL OPERATION. Even Harper's ministers admitted to that.
@BoredomCorner Could you possibly be as ignorant as you come off. Whining and crying are your formal training? Policing at the G20 was organized and directed by the TPS (Your Lefty Chief Blair) under Provincial and Federal criminal Laws, inside the fence was federally controlled.
Fuck, you are some kind of whiner aren't you. Hope you can find a job and contribute at some point of your life.
@BoredomCorner Already working there bud. Same industrial job for almost 18 years now. No thanks to any government....actually I am still working in spite of the provincial Liberals.
@ItalianoAmericano As per who is making a heap of money from it, no one is; people (right now, joe taxpayer) are 'paying' for it. Carbon-tax merely affixes a price to volume-pollutants, creating the first and very necessary incentive for industry to clean-up their own mess. Even a 'highschool' chemistry course could teach you how increasing vapor cover (e.g., greenhouse gases) over an enclosed atmosphere (e.g, earth's) could trap heat to the point of a runaway rise in temperature. Take one.
@ItalianoAmericano "there are many scientists that strongly disagree with that conclusion" ... then by all means, name a few; and some of their recent 'scientific' publications - just to affirm their credibility (that they are not merely failed scientists, turned to lucrative P.R. careers in industry). If there 'are' so many, then surely you can explain how the U.N. reached the "other" consensus by a democratic majority?
She's not smart. Sadly she's only discovered that if she yaps loudly enough that people will pay attention to someone of no substance. About the time you hit 30(or 22), you realize that you actually understand jack shit and seriously question the crap that universities and colleges have fluffed into your head.
@ItalianoAmericano "Nine committees investigated the allegations and published reports detailing their findings.[5][not in citation given][disputed – discuss] Climate scientists were criticized for their disorganized methods, bunker mentality and lack of transparency, but none of the inquiries found evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct. The scientific consensus that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity remains unchanged.[6]"
@ItalianoAmericano As per 'it clearly showing ,. blah blah blah' .. international bodies already determined there was NO scam, NO scandal, NO ~cover-up~ of any sort; that these few e-mails were deliberately taken out of context by those with a right-wing, pro-unregulated pollution agenda - and that is a REAL scandal. A carbon-tax should exist even IF there wasn't climate change; industry SHOULD be responsible for cleaning up its own mess; otherwise, we all pay for it through REAL, public taxes.
@ItalianoAmericano Yes, Gulf, Japan, etc.; referring to them over and over again is not an argument against climate change. If anything, one of the worst tornado seasons on record (another REAL problem) could be a consequence of it, implicit in the behaviours of a warmer climate being more extreme seasons (more severe weather, colder winters and hotter summers as fresh water-dillution of sea water dillutes slows ocean currents - the main veins of heat transfer around the world).
Now I know why Harper wanted to cut back on funding"the arts".With babbling on the way she did here,only like minded could sit there to watch without walking out.
@ItalianoAmericano You're asking "what has this to do with..." when you yourself initiated the tangent? Odd. As per climate-gate, the scandal was that those few e-mails, taken out of context, were purported to be some kind of cover-up when, in fact, there was nothing within their content (widely available, you should actually read them) to cast any doubt on the science behind climate change. Those against tried to make them out as proof against. This they simply were not. There, is your scandal.
@george100ization Hey George, did you know that you spelled 'your' incorrectly? Within the context in which you were wanting to use, it's spelled *you're*. Honestly, I would have expected a 50+ year old guy to know that.
@ItalianoAmericano Global Warming doesn't mean "every single winter will be warmer than the last" ... it means, within the context of "natural variability" (the ongoing occurence of relatively warmer and/or colder-than-yesteryear seasons), there is a rising "trend" in world temperatures; not indiciated by every single "zomg, its colder" (or even warmer) season, but by the "trend" line up the middle. Characterisitc of an, overall, warmer climates "are" more extreme seasonal changes.
@calicormi Even on their worst day, Harper and his cronies would be considered a Left-wing socialists in the States. Don't kid yourself. He may be a conservative, but he's still Canadian.
To stop most of the global warming,can you please stop volcanos from happening first?They have destroyed the world before,and have added more c02 to the world than this generation has.
Oh,and blame the people who DIDN'T VOTE for the outcome of the election that gave Harper the majority he wanted.
First off Brigette Depape is a national treasure, even if you don't agree with her politics she is a young Canadian trying to make a difference. Second @BOWENSblog ya when the liberals were in charge the conservatives were gracious losers, no bitching there right? That statement is as truthful as rainbows only come from Harpers ass.
Well, people like her make me proud to be a Canadian.
She reflects and talks about important issues of life.
Not wasting LIFE on fashion, sport, cars, houses, diets, food...
This is a hard concept for "consumers" to grasp.
Amazing that at a such a young age she is asking intelligent questions. Whereas the vast majority of so called older people are wasting their lives in pursuit of wealth and power. Sustained by antidepressants.
Wow. So many comments here that have nothing to do with this actual video and/or the statements she makes. Perhaps another forum is more pertinent for them. This video was made before her protest during the throne speech and all I'm reading here are judgemental words, phrases and expressions. There are some remarks which question if she was in disrespect of her position and parliamentary tradition, yet those very comments are in themselves disrespectful.
she put herself in public crosshairs and also told the public there votes arent canadian, shes guna be ripped to shreds, she deserves it. why couldnt she protest in public with friends like everyone else?
SHE WAS FIRED BECAUSE SHE IS ARROGANT. SHE MAKES DUMB PLAYS FOR CHILDREN AND SHE WON AN AWARD. SHE DOESN'T CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY. SHE WON AN AWARD GIVEN BY SIMPLE MINDED PEOPLE FOR SIMPLE MINDED PEOPLE.
Ideas should be faught with ideas not with blind passion. Chaim Potok.
If my teen generation grows up like this ignorant, nieve fool with no respect for democracy we are screwed for ever.
SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS BUT STEPHEN HARPER GOT THE MOST VOTES IN CANADA. CANADA CHOSE HIM TO BE PM, Respect democracy and exercise your right to democracy by critiquing views in a democratic, dignified, and purposeful way.
@zkunit Sure, he got the most votes of those who voted but how will any of us who did not vote for him have any hope in the world for political change, short of a miraculously larger voter turnout, enough to turn the tide, if we don't use our other "voices" to influence them otherwise?
@FwaamingDwagon All you're doing is bitching about people saying that we should help each other -- that doesn't exactly say to me that you're the charitable type (and before you ask, I've donated hundreds of dollars to charity over the years, despite being working poor myself).
@FwaamingDwagon How about reading the census data and the results of every election in the last fifty years, moron?
Oh and maybe you haven't noticed, but the havoc in most American inner cities is the result of CONSERVATIVE ideology, which Harper is trying to bring up here despite evidence that it doesn't work.
By the way, I don't see you criticizing conservative ideology, so quit your claims to neutrality -- you clearly aren't.
@FwaamingDwagon Maybe you should read the remarks you made less than an hour ago -- like "I hope she gets pregnant out of wedlock, abandoned by her parents, and forced to raise a child on her own". I've also seen conservatives on G&M call for her to be beaten and crucified -- no joke, look it up.
If life is so hellish, why aren't you doing anything to help those people? Oh right -- that's supposedly a left-wing ideal, so you automatically think it's wrong to have a conscience.
@FwaamingDwagon Oh, and I don't know where you learned English, but constantly attacking someone -- especially with personal attacks like hoping she gets knocked up and abandoned "to teach her a lesson", ARE hateful insults.
@FwaamingDwagon That's funny because most of the people in this country are both over thirty AND decidedly NOT conservative.
In fact, I know many single mothers who are quite left-leaning, because the right-wing historically treats them like the scum of the earth.
Here's what I've seen from life: the left-wing is idealistic as hell, but genuinely interested in making the world a better place for people (particularly the less fortunate). The right wing, wants control, and to help the mega rich.
@FwaamingDwagon I haven't seen a single remark from you that's actually trying to make any points. All I've seen from you are accusations that she's an elitist socialist who deserves to be beaten up or knocked up.
THAT'S how I know -- now if you're pretending that you never said things under your own user name, maybe you're the one who's out to lunch.
@FwaamingDwagon Then how do you feel about Christianity. By your logic, simply teaching people to be nice to others and not consumed with hate and greed, is a bad thing.
We all know that in this 24/7 megahype MSM news cycle society, you have to do something to get attention. Hopefully non-violent which is what she did. Now, she has a new job and things are going ok.
So to everyone that loves to have a go at anything considered "leftist" (which isn't the same as socialist), why not give her credit for paying attention and acting on her beliefs? Of course, cheap shots will get way more reaction. Then again, just an opinion.
OK enough with the name calling. I do not agree with her opinions, but at least she has the courage to express them honestly and upfront. Though she has no real understanding of the necessities of our military, pretty much everything else she has to say is bang on! Her opinions on military aside, she knows what needs to be done.
You can't be counted if you don't vote AND IF your upset About the election YOU SHOULD OF VOTED it's not like it's been All that long since our last election what 1 month?
You Can not Dump non voters who don't give a shit who wins As being "against Harper" you CAN'T say NOT voting is anti Harper ONLY the voter's SAID something those who choose not to vote Choose to be left out THAT'S very democratic and fair. take part or STFU.
WOW you might look like the geek who beat up the other geeks at geek camp but you have an amazing ability to take things out of context. Plus, your cadpat T-shirt bought at the army surplus... class man class. I mentioned nothing about voting... you''re just commented the obvious to me as though I was agreeing against it, which is far from the case. My comment was towards her opinions of the military and that she has courage. That's it that's all.
Indeed Brigette is pretty and obviously intelligent as I find her very articulate. She also seems like a captivating person as I enjoyed her video. She has a pretty voice too. Hhahaa Lastly, she has cojones (in the literary sense) which command respect. 'STOP HARPER!'. "Our government needs to change" . Viva la resistance! You go girl!
Stop Harper! Thanks for saying in public what 60% of Canadians are thinking! The other 40% obviously don't think, so don't worry about what they say. Nicely done!
Too bad we couldn't have stopped Mr. Con-tempt before the Holloween Massacre! You go girl!
It's scary to realize how the majority can work against us ... alas how Bush also stayed in power for so long. I was so depressed once the polling revealed Busharper won without a sweaty brow. I lost a bit of Canadian pride that day.
Oh yay? Canada is pretty good at the whole writing/lauding type of stuff. For me at 16 I was doing my second stint being a legislative page(something they normally don't do). I spent a year after that off highschool working at the national archives. Maybe I've said too much. She's an attention seeking whore who's part of the 'me, me, me' generation. Then again typical liberal drivel, it's only bad when they lose, otherwise the 'system' is just fine.
Couldn't really care if you asked me or not. This is the same chick that thinks we need an 'arab spring'. Well what the fuck. Lets see...the arab spring. Extremism, fundamentalism, rape gangs, the push for women to become second class or third class citizens. She isn't out to try and make the world a better place, she's out to lunch, naive, and ignorant of the world around her.
She is a 'me, me, me' generational type. She uses catechisms and has no idea what they mean.
Do you even know what the arab spring is? It started as a uprising against their oppressive government, it has turned into exactly what I said. Do you pay attention to media from around the world? Do you pay attention to what's happening there and actually what has been happening to religious minorities, and women since the 'uprisings'?
I find it more amazing that you take the 'context' and warp it to the complete opposite of what it is. She's ignorant, and so are you.
Nope you don't get it straight. Rather if you're going to overthrow something, you'd best know what your options in the end term will be. The arab spring is simply over throwing oppressive, for more oppressive. I find it more interesting that people automatically assume someone is a particular political affiliation simply based on a statement. Is that projecting I see? Indeed it is.
Perhaps you'd rather use muslim fundamentalist instead?
@Bren565 You are implying that because someone did something bad, any one related to this person, even by a small detail, is bound to be bad too. If you want to do such a stupid correlation than let me try. Hitler was a Christian. harper is also a christan therefore Harper is a bad evil leader who want to kill jews. If we want a good leader we'll then need to find a non christian conservative. See. It is complete stupidity.
because libertarianism is effectively a moral position as it is an economic stand point for growth and prosperity.
(for which i am)
socialism, develops a certain economic policy, but first you need to realise that it also implies heavily a certain moral position.. at least thats the way it happened, perhaps not on purpose. i find it ludicris that the irony of our problems in canada is that the gov causes them.. , in canada, the free market doesnt exist.. how can u bash it?
4 cudnt fit this in high tax rates high 'money grab liscense fees' make it very difficult for entrepreneurs, small business people etc to break into a market so the corporations thus can control all the market share, this creates artificial monopoly etc.. over time. also subsidization of our water a flat rate? CAUSES WASTE.. terrible for the environment, ur gov. and socializing anything leads to inflation/degradation aka education, and farm socializing caused starvation = moral?
@1HumanKind You are missing the importance of parliament and the senate. she disrespected our government and therefore all the people of Canada. She is a stupid pussy and so are you.
this is completely different.. she is actually performing the opposite act as she is a socialist , welfare loving, social service pumping, fascist.. notice how a gov was democratically elected? but she was against it? sounds awfully coercive and violently socialist to me... and she ketp talking about spending for social programs and all public employees being fired.. and such.. k.. so some public employees are fired, and 90% of everyone benefits, whys that bad..
really amazing, i hope you smoke cannabis. if not, give it a try and expand your mind more.

Government shouldn't be worried about the actions of Canadians. Canadians should be worried about the action of Canadians. That's the problem with liberals you can't do anything without government. I bet conservative households are greener then liberal households. We tend to be cheaper and find solutions to improve our financial situation. I have solar panels, rain barrels, LED lights and my lesbian liberal neighbour left her AC on all day yesterday.. It was only 20 degrees outside.

@chad071981 You use the word 'liberal' like it's a bad thing. Look up the definition in a dictionary some day. you know what that is right ? It's a big book full of words and their meaning.
Cons do tend to be cheap. Cheap when it comes to health care, cheap when it comes to the environment. Maybe you wouldn't mind a return to 19th century infant mortality levels, so long as it saves you a few dollars in tax, or am I tarring all cons with the same brush.

@ItalianoAmericano As per who is making a heap of money from it, no one is; people (right now, joe taxpayer) are 'paying' for it. Carbon-tax merely affixes a price to volume-pollutants, creating the first and very necessary incentive for industry to clean-up their own mess. Even a 'highschool' chemistry course could teach you how increasing vapor cover (e.g., greenhouse gases) over an enclosed atmosphere (e.g, earth's) could trap heat to the point of a runaway rise in temperature. Take one.

@ItalianoAmericano "there are many scientists that strongly disagree with that conclusion" ... then by all means, name a few; and some of their recent 'scientific' publications - just to affirm their credibility (that they are not merely failed scientists, turned to lucrative P.R. careers in industry). If there 'are' so many, then surely you can explain how the U.N. reached the "other" consensus by a democratic majority?

@ItalianoAmericano As per 'it clearly showing ,. blah blah blah' .. international bodies already determined there was NO scam, NO scandal, NO ~cover-up~ of any sort; that these few e-mails were deliberately taken out of context by those with a right-wing, pro-unregulated pollution agenda - and that is a REAL scandal.

@ItalianoAmericano Yes, Gulf, Japan, etc.; referring to them over and over again is not an argument against climate change. If anything, one of the worst tornado seasons on record (another REAL problem) could be a consequence of it, implicit in the behaviours of a warmer climate being more extreme seasons (more severe weather, colder winters and hotter summers as fresh water-dillution of sea water dillutes slows ocean currents - the main veins of heat transfer around the world).

this is completely different.. she is actually performing the opposite act as she is a socialist , welfare loving, social service pumping, fascist.. notice how a gov was democratically elected? but she was against it? sounds awfully coercive and violently socialist to me... and she ketp talking about spending for social programs and all public employees being fired.. and such.. k.. so some public employees are fired, and 90% of everyone benefits, whys that bad..
