Climate change activists disrupt Harper event

Two climate change activists managed to sneak up behind Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Monday just as he was getting ready to start a question and answer session at the Vancouver Board of Trade.

One of the activists, a male, stood behind Harper holding a sign that read "Climate justice now."

DePape told CBC News "it was very empowering" for the activists to get that close to the prime minister.

She said one of the two activists is currently being detained by the Vancouver police.

​DePape was fired as a Senate page after walking onto the Senate floor during a speech from the throne to protest against Harper's policies.

DePape, in her press release, hinted that other events may be disrupted
