Freeker Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 WHERE: Ottawa, Parliment Hill WHEN: Sept 25th, 2003 4:00pm Marc Emery's "Summer of Legalization" Tour 2003 by Dana Larsen and Reverend Damuzi (15 Jul, 2003) Join Canada's cannabis revolution and celebrate ganja freedom in your hometown! Marc and `Canucks Bong` just before Winnipeg bust Pot-activist Marc Emery invites Canadians everywhere to join him during his 2003 Summer of Legalization Tour. "Because of recent court decisions, cannabis is legal everywhere in Canada," says Emery, who is publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, President of the BC Marijuana Party and owner of Marc Emery Direct Marijuana Seeds. "Canadians need to smoke marijuana openly in front of police to demonstrate and secure their freedoms. "The marijuana possession laws were deemed invalid in Ontario Courts, but the law struck down is one that affects all Canadians. It is my belief that since a Court of Appeal has struck down the cannabis possession law, and that at the time of the verdict of the Court of Appeal in July 2000 the government did not appeal the decision, but agreed to abide by the ruling, then in fact cannabis possession is not an offense known to law anywhere in Canada." "I am hoping I can find supporters across Canada to hold a smoke-out in front of the local police headquarters. Of course, in many cases, we risk getting charged, but we will shed a lot of light and create some momentum in each community. So who's with me and who wants to help get me to hold a demonstration in your area?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 He is such an idiot. Good idea taunting the police you f*&khead. That way you'll have them looking to bust skulls if the legislation turns around which it certainly may when Mr. Lets-bend-over-to-the-Americans Paul Martin gets in office.

AdamH Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Whoa Nelly. I don't think Monsieur Martin would reverse something like that which has now become more about the Medical aspect than the recreational. He won't be visiting pot farms like Allan Rock but he'll at least keep it off the main agenda. Besides, as a former Finance Minister I'd like to think he's aware of the costs of keeping it completely illegal. As for Emery, well I'm not a big fan but I work afew blocks away so I may check it out from afar and see what (or who) goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 The Hamilton weekly VIEW has an article on this very topic in this week's edition which just hit the streets this morning: Pipe Dreams Personally, I don't feel well represented by the antics of people like Emery and therefore they won't receive my public support.

larry jr. Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Lest another Bobby picture kill another thread, I thought I would chime in here and say that I also think this is an incredibly stupid idea. We should all be happy the goverment is moving in the right direction, however slowly, and how are some people showing their appreciation? Smoking in front of cops and on Parliament Hill? What is that supposed to achieve? P.S. Paul Martin sleeps in with red, white, and blue bedsheets and has a stuffed George W. doll on his bed.

Hux Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 ...I really didn't mean to hijack this folder with my constant defending of my political and musical heroes (sorry guys), so I'll depart with this editorial from Tuesday's Globe and Mail...

ollie Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hey Hux, keep posting the pro-Martin stuff. As a skeptic I'm hoping he's not as bad as his enemies making him out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry jr. Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Aw, Hux, you know we're just kidding around. Come to think of it, you know what would convince people of Martin's liberal stripes? How about a Bob Weird concert at Martin's inauguration? Let's get organized people!!! All foolish kidding aside, that G+M article was right, in that Chretien and Martin are pretty much cut from the same cloth. But we'll see what the man does when he's drunk on power.

MarcO Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I just wish Martin had had someone other than Copps to kick his ass a little bit in the run for the leadership. For what seems like years now, he's been the "prime minister in waiting" which bugs me more than a little. I do hope he calls an election very soon after taking over. I know the Liberals will win, not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned, but the inevitability of his becoming PM for the next five years makes it hard to get engaged in the process, something an election will encourage, hopefully. I for one will be keeping a very close eye on Martin to see whether he maintains the current lean to the left when it comes to social policy. If he doesn't, I will be very disappointed in him. Having said that, I think re-establishing positive dialogue with the US is both necessary and desirable and should not be equated with ass-kissing or a pro-US-policy policy . Of course, if Weir sang at a Martin inauguration (in an alternate universe), I'm sure he'd pick a Garcia/Hunter tune for the occasion, heh heh.... (that's for you, hux-a-licious!)

\/\/illy Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Oh, and, if you go back a little while when Paul was first talking about taking over as Prime Minister, he mentioned building our military and: Martin proclaimed we have to recognize the U.S. is our most important ally and trading partner and there must be renewed emphasis on strengthening ties between the offices of a Canadian prime minister and an American president. It was this that I was referring to. Now I don't know about Bob Weir loving, Parliament Hill bureaucrats like yourself, but personally, I don't want this country getting more intimate with our lunatic neighbours to the south.

\/\/illy Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 You know MarcO, for the longest time I though Alan Rock was being groomed for the position. I was very excited about that. It's been a long time since this country has had a charismatic leader (Trudeau?) and I think it's about time we had one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I took a walk over to the hill for a quick look-see. There's a good 500 + people there, and continually random stragglers showing up. Some walking up the path with a joint in hand, and some asking "Did he hand out the free joints yet?" Seeems like some people are there primarily for freebies and the novelty. Mostly, there are people there generally interested in Emery's customary marijuana speech. Stories on injustice and ridiculous sentences handed out are some of his primary facts. I heard one guy yell out "36 months!!!" Anyway, the entire time, he's holding his big fatty which just looks priceless with his suit. It's nice to see a peaceful protest on the Hill. I mean, there's no yelling, no one is there against the cause or spitting on parliament. In fact, it's just toooo peaceful I could barely hear what he was saying. Aren't protests about chanting, yelling, throwing things, and tear gas? THere's a pretty interesting cross-section of freaky people, young people, old people, middle-aged people....just a bunch of different people hanging out and listening....oh and passing joint s LIKE CRAZY! As I was leaving, I spotted davey-boy and freeker. I can't wait to hear what they have to say. I had to come back to work, and passed up the good herb.
