A Tribute to Brigitte DePape - Canadian Democracy (part 2)

Further to my post on May 3rd, it is only appropriate that I should pay tribute to Brigitte DePape for her bold act of bravery yesterday in the House of Commons.  A recent university graduate, she sacrificed her new job as House page for an opportunity to express her frustration with the ruling federal Conservative government.  Apparently, she had, cleverly, smuggled her stop sign into the House by hiding it inside her skirt.  Not only was she escorted out of the House of Commons, she was also fired immediately.  At least there is (was) one person in the House who was not mesmerized by the Emperor's New Clothes.  One can only hope that the opposition party will follow suit by asking for a vote of non-confidence when the budget is delievered on Monday.  Such a vote would, obviously, not survive against a majority government, but it would ring the bell to awken the House from it's current state of somnambulism.
