After being fired for holding a “Stop Harper” sign during the speech from the throne, Brigette DePape will take her anti-Harper movement to a more accommodating forum.

The former page will join a rally to oppose Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s speech to the Conservative Party National Convention in Ottawa on Friday.

The rally will begin at Dundonald Park before the group marches throughout downtown to the Ottawa Convention Centre, where the prime minister will be delivering his speech.

“It is to bring people together and to recognize that resistance doesn’t just happen once a year and that politics isn’t relegated to the Hill,” said Taiva Tegler, a student activist who will attend the rally.

The group will be rallying against what Tegler termed Harper’s “attacks” on women’s groups, the environment and cuts to social spending.

“They impact everyone, and it really goes to show that people are working together and taking back their power and saying, ‘We’re going to work together to try to make change,’” Tegler said.
