Worldwide protest extradition of Marc Emery May 22 / 2010
US Consulate or the Harry Hayes Building, Calgary.
Folks how ever you feel about Marc Emery I ask all of you with negative opinions about Emery to set it aside for at least this very important issue of Canadian Sovereignty which of course is way bigger issue then any one person. This issue affects us Canadians in a very negative way and we need to stand up and speak up!
We started to arrive at 1:30 to setup and get the media interviews out of the way. The weather was reasonable warm which was nice after the cold windy day we had for the Worldwide Marijuana March a few weeks earlier. A few media types showed and got their interviews. We had 8 Calgary Police officers attend to watch over us. Debbie was able to convince a few police officers to take a Treating Yourself magazine and some of our fact based handouts as well
We setup the table and signs on the Harry Hayes Building front court yard while the speeches were made. A good size crowd attend the season activists were out in full force as usual and some new faces from the Worldwide Marijuana March at Calgary City Hall a few weeks earlier also came out to enjoy a day with other like minded stand up and speak up people. At 4:20 we all took some time to get to know each other a little better and discuss future events.
 
 
 
 
Worldwide protest extradition of Marc Emery September 18 / 2010
US Consulate or the Harry Hayes Building, Calgary
We started to arrive at 1:30 to setup and get the media interviews out of the way.
The one thing I did different this time was not to inform the Calgary Police Service we would be protesting. This lead to us not have the police present this time around. I knew we would not need them and this way they could use their time to go after some criminals. Another thing that was different this time around was 660News All news Radio was broadcasting a news report about the worldwide Free Marc Emery rallies every half hour. They also included in the broadcast where our event is at today.
Yet another cold and windy day in downtown Calgary which did hold back the number of people attending this second protest in regards to the extradition of Marc Emery. I was a little surprised when 40 people show up for the second No Extradition protest this year. Good to see more so on such a cold day.
J.C. arrived with a Stephen Harper dummy with a huge joint stuffed in it's mouth wearing a cannabis leaf shirt. A real nice couple arrived in a truck with messages on the back and they had a massive hand made sign as well. Check out the picture gallery.

2010 - Stop Bill S-10 Mandatory Minimum Sentencing in Canada Calgary Cannabis Community rallies!
 
Calgary 420 Cannabis Community rallies to educate Canadians with the truthful facts about proven failed mandatory minimum prison sentences. Stop Bill S-10!
Free pro cannabis posters, signs, magazines, factual information and more!
 
In 2010 there was two Stop Bill S-10 Mandatory Minimum Sentencing in Canada held at the Harry Hayes Building - 220 4th Ave. S.E. Calgary. First one was on Saturday June 4.
We had over 25 people attend with hand made signs to draw attention to our messages. We had some of the usual crowd and some new people which is always good to see. Our PA sound system was well used to spread the true facts about decades of complete failure of Mandatory Minimum Sentencing used in the United States and other countries around the world that are now reversing their failed Mandatory Minimum Sentencing policies.  
 
Rev. Kevin Moore and Rob Blair were interviewed by CTV Calgary. The news video was broadcast on the June 4 / 2010, 6:00 PM news. Great work folks!
 
 
 
The second Stop to Bill S-10 Mandatory Minimum Sentencing in Canada Calgary Cannabis Community was also held at at the Harry Hayes Building - 220 4th Ave. S.E. Calgary on Saturday, Oct. 2.
Another successful Stop to Bill S-10 Mandatory Minimum Sentencing in Canada rally with a good time was had by all. Once again attendees received cool free stuff and got to enjoy their freedom on a warm sunny day with like minded people. The highlight had to be when a lot of the vehicle traffic was stopped at the red traffic light erupted in to a chorus of horn honking.
 
This event did receive a small amount of negative attention from a overly zealous security guard that was not at all happy about our truthful fact based messages. He went so far as to complain to the Calgary Police Service (CPS) in an attempt to stop us. After I had a short conversation with the 4 CPS officers that were dispatched to investigate the complaint they left to pursue some criminals.
 
It is unfortunate some people still want to force there under educated opinions on others and even go so far as to waste valuable CPS resources in a futile attempt to stop other Canadians enjoying their 100% legal freedoms.
 
Thankfully the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protect us all form people that would otherwise do everything in their power to stop others from speaking up for themselves!

First off I apologize for the long delay in articles. Medical issues mostly and even the loss of a family member recently have kept me from writing.
I am working on getting my writing caught up and hope to find more time to write the media in the form of letters to the editor again.
As you will see in the articles to come soon the activism was still happening just at a slower pace then in the past years to date.
