Evidently they agreed to stop calling her that.

So much for that hard hitting, edgy free speech.

Liberscaredians.. no testicles.


Catherine McKenna takes on Rebel reporter over outlet’s ‘climate Barbie’ nickname

VANCOUVER – Environment Minister Catherine McKenna confronted a reporter for The Rebel on Friday, demanding he make a commitment that the far-right website stop calling her “climate Barbie.”

The exchange occurred at a news conference after a meeting of provincial, territorial and federal environment ministers in Vancouver.

Christopher Wilson identified himself as a Rebel reporter and asked McKenna a question about the federal government’s opinion on the role of hydroelectricity as a clean power source.

“So you’re the Rebel Media that happens to call me ‘climate Barbie.’ I certainly hope that you will no longer use that hashtag,” McKenna said.

Wilson replied that he personally has never called her that name.

However, the reporter has used it at least twice on Twitter and it appeared in an article published under his byline in January. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well, she is a climate "Barbie" - she should wear the name proudly but she's too thick to use it to her advantage! What a dim wit!

the trouble with the right is they are such cowards. They need the shadows to hide in and masks to wear. Even their reporters are gutless.

What's wrong with the tag 'Climate Barbie'? The only reason it stings so much is because it's true.

Clinton was tagged 'Slick Willie'...former PM Joe Clarke was dubbed 'Joe Who?'...and on and on...

What's so special about McKenna?? Waaa! I need my safe-space!! She needs to get a thicker skin and stop bringing the topic up. She just magnified the issue a million times by confronting that reporter. But she's an airhead, so go figure.

No he wouldn't. Right wingers are only free to be themselves in secret.

That is probably what makes them all so salty

I'll stop calling the Minister 'Climate Barbie' when she apologizes to the millions of Canadians she inferred were idiots for not believing in man-made climate change.

And then I'll stop calling our Governor General a 'hairbag' when she apologizes for insulting millions of Canadians as well who believe in a Higher Power...read horoscopes for entertainment...visit the Chiropractor...and still aren't convinced that climate change is man-made.

These two attacked me and my beliefs first, so it's pretty rich for them to tell others to play 'the cool it card' in my opinion.

Or when she confronts you about it face to face.

We all know what a commando you are when it's all in secret.

You're as big a snowflake as Climate Barbie

oh look - the guy who needs a secret identity to threaten people just called me a "snowflake".
