Brigette DePape: Life After Parliament

On June 3, 2011, 21-year-old Parliamentary page Brigette DePape held up a "Stop Harper" sign in the middle of the Throne Speech. It got her booted from her job -- and onto the CBC and other venues to speak about the need for resistance at a moment when Stephen Harper's Conservatives had achieved, with their new majority, sweeping powers to change Canada.

It also led DePape on a journey -- a personal investigation, she says, -- into how political activism can effect change beyond Parliamentary walls. This Tyee series compiles DePape's traveling notes and dispatches, as she explores new hotbeds of activism across North America.
