How many times does Avril say 'da' in 'Things I'll Never Say?'

Avril Lavigne kicks topless protestor against Ontario greenbelt development off Junos stage

Avril Lavigne kicked a topless protestor off stage at Monday night’s Juno ceremony in Edmonton after the show was interrupted by the streaker to protest Ontario’s development of the Greenbelt.
Just after 8:30 p.m. on Monday, the show was interrupted when a topless woman jumped onto the stage with the phrases ‘Save the Greenbelt’ and 'Land Back' written on their body. It appears that the protestor was wearing pasties at the time of the action.
Video shows that Avril appears to have tolerated the action for a few moments, before telling the protestor to “get the f*** off.”
In November, the Ontario government issued new regulations to remove 7,400 acres of protected Greenbelt land and open it up for housing. Officials said they expect about 50,000 new homes to be built on the former Greenbelt land, with construction to begin by no later than 2025.
The move is under investigation by both Ontario’s auditor general and integrity commissioner, and has been met with fierce criticism by some.

The real badass thing to do would be to ask her what's she protesting against. There's plenty of clever folks, including Greta Thunberg, who in my opinion legitimately disrupt our leisure bubbles with messages of issues we're not tacking decently enough. I can't bother to research what's been going on with Ontario Green Belt, maybe the girl on stage is wrong, maybe she's right, but either way, I'm not stanning over Avril's response.

It wasn’t the time or place to be protesting though. She ruined the performer’s moment as Avril was trying to introduce them, especially because it was kind of a big deal with that guy being the first Punjabi singer to perform at the Junos. That lady could have also been trying to harm Avril. Thankfully her only intention was to protest something. Security should have never let that happen to begin with, but they also took far too long to get her offstage. I’m not surprised Avril could only respond “Get the fuck off.” Avril did the right thing by just continuing on and ignoring her until security came. They don’t have time to interrupt the proceedings and go off script to ask what she’s doing there. |
