"...I couldn’t help but feel that celebrating DePape’s actions would mean simultaneously celebrating a certain disrespect for Parliament."This idea is just plain silly.

Mr. Harper himself has shown an incredible disrespect for the democratic political process by proroguing parliament when it suited his political ends. No, this young page took the only route available to her that would allow her maximum coverage, and which would shock Canadians - and that was probably part of her intent. She could have stood outside parliament with the same sign and no one would ever have heard of her. This had an impact, and a peaceful one. Good on her!
