Just about 2 years ago, a convoy stopped being a convoy and blocked the streets of downtown Ottawa. Protest, however unfounded, is one thing, but doing it with big rigs on city streets with loud horns is beyond the pale.

Quite a contrast between that
noisy unfounded protest in Ottawa that severely affected the lives and livelihoods of the citizens of Ottawa and this silent demonstration by Brigette DePape in the House of Commons during a Throne speech in 2011.

@nealfig I remember that. Brave person.

Harper was such a dick.

@yadayadayada When I saw the noisy "convoy" protest, I couldn't help but think of DePape's contrasting silent protest.

@nealfig I admired the hell out of her for making such a high-profile, risky (yet nonviolent) move.
