Looks like the Senate Page strikes again!

Members of the Canadian Youth Delegation were ejected from COP17 today as Canada’s Environment Minister Peter Kent delivered his opening address at the United Nations climate negotiations in Durban, South Africa. Just as Kent began his speech, six youth stood and turned away from the Minister revealing the message “Turn your back on Canada” prominently displayed on their shirts.

[snip]

The six youth, including Brigette DePape (the “Rogue Page”) received an ovation from the crowd watching the Minister’s address. They were escorted out of the International Convention Center’s plenary hall and removed from the premises at 12:30 p.m local time. Their accreditation was revoked upon their removal.

Canada-hating? Is peaceful protest a sign of... Canada hating?

how about that Fossil-of-the-Day tally? Perhaps that 'fueled' the Canadian Youth Delegation, hey?

Every time Canada wins the fossil of the day it's a badge of honor.

I don't know, but I don't see why it matters.

Going all of the way to Durban to protest is a pretty big troll lol

I hope taxpayers are not paying for it

If the big emitters are not with Kyoto nothing we or any other nation does will matter

which is why its a waste of our money

that would be my guess...rob anders was a professional heckler in the US and is now an MP...harper had long track record of canada bashing before he ran for office...

Going to an international conference and encouraging other countries to "turn your back on Canada"... yes Canada-hating seems appropriate.

If the "fossil of the day award" tally fueled their hatred for Canada then I think even less of them then before.

Did she think Canada would RISE UP? LMAO

in comparison to olp1fan her uni degree and experience puts her well above olp1fan ...you may disagree with her politics but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what she's doing, this is a smart young lady...

If these people really cared about GW ,canada should not even be on thier minds. At 2% of the total,we will have to destroy our economy, just to get it down 1/2 a point. But it is easy to sit here and whine instead of going to china and start a protest there, that is why I have no respect for her and people like may.

Same deal with protesting Israel when so many nearby countries are much worse regarding human-rights.

It's slacktavism.
