Kanada Kev Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I wished i could have hung out at the park, but I had other things that took priority I did drive by at around 3:30 and it looked like a great time. TOns of people. Jay Cleary was quoted in the Toronto Star today: http://www.thestar.com/News/article/210943 Queen's Park rally goes all to pot Police keep back as crowd lights up Jay Cleary, one of the organizers of the bands that played throughout the day, announced from the stage that "we're here to smoke our brains out and have a good time," which prompted a smattering of applause. He thanked the city for allowing the event, and police for tolerating it, noting the festival has been held nine years in a row without any arrests.

deranger Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 So many skids.... In fact, should have been called "global call to teens and angst-ridden youth with nowhere better to go to sit in park and smoke." Ended up on the lawn at U of T with no skids and tons of space.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 yeah this really sux... I had a lot of really great things to say.. and they really suckered me on this one. I had this big speech about how lucky we are in Canada to have all these freedoms... Freedom of assembly, freedom to protest, freedom to same-sex mariages... That's what I hate about reporters, they always zone in on the most shocking thing they can get their hands on. oh why did I give that reporter my name..!

Kanada Kev Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 That's what I hate about reporters, they always zone in on the most shocking thing they can get their hands on. oh why did I give that reporter my name..! Perfect chance to say what you wanted to say by sending a letter to the editor of the Toronto Star. That article didn't reveal any of the reasons why many people want the legalization of marijuana. It just reported it as being a gathering of people smoking pot and listening to some bands that you introduced. lettertoed@thestar.ca http://www.thestar.com/article/210943 Jack Lakey wrote the article.

AD Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Jay Cleary announced "we're here to smoke our brains out and have a good time," BTW, I didn't say this! That's what I hate about reporters, they always zone in on the most shocking thing they can get their hands on. oh why did I give that reporter my name..! [color:purple]That Jack Lakey guy is a real bright bulb. Just wondering, did you really say what was attributed to you, or did he just make that up? If he attributed you as publically encouraging an illegal activity, isn't he totally in the wrong? Is that slander or libel? (I am unclear on the difference and really don't want to look it up at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Is that slander or libel? (I am unclear on the difference and really don't want to look it up at the moment)It's libel, as it was written/published. If it had only been spoken, it would be slander.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 So many skids.... In fact, should have been called "global call to teens and angst-ridden youth with nowhere better to go to sit in park and smoke." . Yup. That's why I stopped going years ago, well. That and the fact that I don't smoke pot anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 After we conquer Racism and Sexism, Agism is next. That doesn't mean there weren't people of all ages there... but it's too bad the kids get weeded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 These things certainly tend not to be a great representation of the diversity of people that choose to indulge... that's for sure. words can't describe the Hamilton 4:20 march a few years back. I was so embarrassed to even be on the fringes of that community. You find yourself marching down the middle of King St on a weekday chanting "SMOKE POT!!"...... just go join the army or something and smarten up. Good Lord it was a parade of twits.

SmoothedShredder Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yeah, it's too bad the old kids are too afraid to stand up for this issue.I was talking to a journalist who covered the Gay Pride Parade in Toronto for the 10 years that it went from a small parade of 5-10 Thousand people to the 1,000,000 plus that attend it now. And just look how much that has given the community in terms of awarness, and 'concessions' from the older ways that community was challenged.He said he see's similar growth and momentum from the pot community, and the Freedom festival in particular. I mean it's ridiculous that I should feel like a criminal smoking this stuff... but I do, cause according to the law it's illegal. Atleast the kids are standing up for what they believe in... even if they aren't old enough to really appreciate what they are doing... I certainly appreciate them helping out. It wasn't easy being a kid, and I think for the most part they get too much guff. Remind me never to grow up. Sounds like it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahbelle Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I had a great time.. yeeah I was kinda sad that the march was not annouced!! I was trying to get a move on.. and my friends were like.. no no not yet.. they haven't announced it..lol so we missed the march It was pretty awesome to look back at the 4:20 countdown and see a haze of smoke rising above the crowd.. lol I still had fun.

MarcO Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I don't feel well-represented by the likes of Marc Emery. And honestly, I'm not really interested in fighting for my right to party. Discretion and modesty go a long way to keeping out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
