This girl has a bone to pick with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In a video uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, 12-year-old Tori Metcalf delivers a one-minute message eviscerating Harper’s reluctance to launch an inquiry into the country’s missing and murdered aboriginal women. “Last week, I heard you would protect the rights of girls – but how can we really believe you?” she asks. On TV, all I hear about is the murdered First Nations girls and that you’re not doing anything about it.

Through this thread you can then send or receive ideas and/or emo...
