Man if he'd said thank you climate Barbie at the end it would have been amazing.

[truenorthstrong]

Wow! The biggest promotion for Rebel Media ever, thanks to Climate Barbie!

My feelings... My feelings.
Do your job, address the media, and show your incompetence for all to see. You have NOTHING to do with the future of girls chosen professions, except that they have to live in the horrible tax burden and shallow policies that you and your administration are creating.

Awesome reporter. She tried to discredit him and his employer as a distraction. The reporter was very professional and respectful, as she tried to appear victimized, and failed miserably. Kudos to this reporter who did not take her bait. Will seek out more of his work.

“Don’t call me names. I have daughters.” So this is the level of our public servants now, is it? Lord help us.

[doggnap]

and thats how you get a nickname to stick.

Try being a better person. Earn some respect. Corruption Barbie.

Is this the Canadian Government or a 6th grade social studies class? The amount of unprofessionalism is amazing.

[shuffman]

She’s Hiding behind her children. Get a grip lady.

"I have children, so you can no longer ever criticize me or anything that I (an elected public officla) do." COME ON!

[lawrenceparker]

What a disgrace, putting her feelings before the needs of the country a traitor if you ask me?.

[AllRequired]

I know of preschoolers more mature than she is.

Men never get insulted in politics? How about you tell your daughters that if they happen to be as sensitive as their mother then they should really stay out of politics.

[timmatthews]

Feelings are obviously the most important topic to this ‘minister’.

[aprilprice]

She knows what she’s doing, she’s trying to avoid answering questions. Typical of politicians nowadays. So sad.

[altair]

Oh, from now I will call her only Climate Barbie.

[Lily-vicy]

'Climate Barbie' will stick forever. Up to today, only Rebel Media audience

[foxhound]

Boo hoo! Don’t call me names! Talk about thin skinned. She’s going to get called this forever and a day now. She’s more concerned with name calling than people’s livelihoods.

[DNYLNY]

This woman gets asked a legitimate question and she takes it personally and gets all hysterical.

Great reporter, thank you for standing your ground. Pathetic politicians
