NORTH BAY - Local Environmentalist Yan Roberts slipped through security and stood next to Steven Harper with a t-shirt stating 'Water not Harper' in protest to the potential Energy East Pipeline Project which would be connected across the country locally through Trout Lake by repurposing an old gas pipeline underneath Trout Lake.
Roberts stood next to Harper for only moments before security escorted him to the back of the room.
Harper made a campaign stop in North Bay this morning.
