Climate Change Activists Disrupt Harper's Vancouver Event In Security Breach
[IMG][/IMG]
CTV News caught footage of a male protester, holding a sign that read "Climate Justice Now," managing to get himself very close to the prime minister.
A second activist was also on stage, briefly, and, according to CBC News, her sign read "The Conservatives Take Climate Change Seriously," with the words crossed out.
Both were briskly escorted away from Harper and out of the room without a confrontation.
A press release from Brigette DePape, who famously protested Harper during the 2011 Throne Speech, was issued moments after the incident, CBC News reports.
"This morning two people directly intervened in a high security question and answer session with Prime Minister Stephen Harper regarding Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline," the release said.
"The group managed to make their way past police undetected and into the secured Vancouver Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel."

Glad that Brigette is still being a pest!
