thewayofmei asks: hey! I just wanted to say thanks for the post you guys made last night about my rant on Political Canuck. Since I think you guys are kickass awesome, it meant a lot! Much appreciated.

We’re with PoliticalCanuck: Brigette’s very-public protest was totally fair and warranted, but this rhetoric is dangerous. “Stephen Harper is not, for his many flaws, a tyrant,” she writes. And you know what? She’s totally right. No Western leader is a tyrant. Brigette’s point is good, but perhaps a tad naive. So bravo, PoliticalCanuck, for making a great point.
Photo of the day: A Canadian senate page disrupted Stephen Harper’s first throne speech under a Conservative majority with a “Stop Harper” sign. This girl (who we’ve heard called Brigette Marcelle and Brigette DePape) is bold and a total badass for pulling this off. She may have gotten fired for this mess, but she has our respect.
