As reported on CTV News....Former Senate page Brigette DePape says she does not regret holding up a sign reading "Stop Harper" during the 2011 throne speech, a stunt that made national headlines.
Speaking to CTV's Canada AM on Tuesday, DePape said she was scared to brandish the sign, but felt the need to express her dissatisfaction with the direction of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government.
"That was one the hardest, but also best decisions of my entire life," said DePape. "I felt I needed to do it because I felt really discouraged and disempowered by the direction was government was headed and feeling like it's really going against the interests of the majority of people in this country."
Ms DePape is part of the 2015 Game-Changers Tour, which calls on Canadian youth to vote in the next federal election. Please encourage young people you know to vote - Federally, Provincially, and Municipally.
