Just to spite em, get a shit load of ppl and go to city hall and toke the fuck up right infront of em.
Debbie and i met in person with Greg of the Calgary Police Service and had a very interesting meeting.
The Calgary Police Service is going to be providing policing services, traffic control and the like (the stuff police do).
The Calgary Police Service will be present for our parade route (traffic control, etc...) and rally as we need the Calgary Police Service to help us make sure we can have our legal march / parade and all rally attendees get to go home safe and unhurt!
The Calgary Police Service prefers to let myself and my rally / march / parade marshals interact with the rally attendees our selfs.
So that means i will have what are called rally / march / parade marshals with bright traffic type vests attending the rally. I will introduce the official Calgary 420 rally / march / parade marshals to all rally attendees at the start of the rally. If you have any problems come to me (Keith Fagin), i will be slowly driving a red Chev truck right in front of the march / parade attendees honking the horn (health issues prevent me from marching with you all sadly) or find a official Calgary 420 rally / march / parade marshal and ask for their help. We all we be more then happy to assist you!
We get to march along the planned parade route already set in place. See http://gmm.Calgary420.ca/ for route map.
I do get to have the permits that i applied for (after they are paid for of course). 8) We do get to have the AC power outlets at OLYMPIC PLAZA. 8) 8) 8)
LIVE BAND for entertainment folks!!! 8) 8)
I have to resubmit the proper forms (city hall sent the wrong ones to me originally), Greg of the Calgary Police Service walked me through it during our meeting. I also have to buy insurance for the 2006 Calgary Global Marijuana March to cover any issues that could arise.
I know this is going to the biggest pro marijuana rally conservative Calgary has every experienced folks.
The best part is we all get to have a real good time with other like mind people and we even get to educate people in regards to the truths about marijuana to boot. Have to like that eh!!!!
Take care all!

City event department still tried to give me a hard time (blow me off) when i went there in person to pay for the proper permits Thursday morning.
I was not going away until i got to pay for the permits i was fully untitled to get.
At least the people i had to deal with had changed their attitude toward me before i left. All in the delivery of the words is all.
It is nice to win a small battle for sure. It has not been easy but it has been well worth it.
No marching on the sidewalks for us. Right down the middle of the streets with the City of Calgary and the Calgary Police Service providing traffic control / blocking of the streets for our March / Parade. Nice and peaceful and safe for all of event attendees.
I have all the proper permits and insurance and official Calgary 420 Marijuana Community event marshals for the Calgary 2006 Global Marijuana March event.
The Calgary Police Service will stand back and stand down and let us police our own event attendees with our own like minded people (Official Calgary 420 Marijuana Community event marshals)

Calgary 2006 Global Marijuana March

I think, dont quote me though, that vancouver never gets permits for their march. They just show up and march. I will be at the toronto march, its become a week long event with smoke friendly after parties. The police last year didnt venture into the smoke bowl that queens park is before and after the march. They gave us wide berth while directing traffic. Our volunteers did a great job organizing too, as i am sure you guys are doing. For a bunch of "stoners" we smoothy run a world wide demonstration that never has any problems, besides cops hate us.
Hopefully Cow town doesnt get a bunch of harrassment because the cops are still mad about mayerthorpe. The key seems to be getting a critcal mass of people, once you reach a few hundred the cops get nervous about arresting anyone.
Anyway thanks for representing pot heads in harper-land. We get 10-15 thousand people in toronto and its barely gets any media coverage because its almost old news now.
