SUBJECT: CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS VIOLATED!

I applied to the City of Calgary for use of a city park for a legal event, the annual "Global Marijuana March" which has over 200 cites world wide having events to educate people to the truths about marijuana. http://www.globalmarijuanamarch.org/

City of Calgary event committee refused my request.
The event is deemed inappropriate for a City of Calgary park.

Canada does still have a legal medical marijuana program.
It may not work well but it is in place none the less.

A reminder that as Canadians we do have the right to gather in a group and have our peaceful event in the City of Calgary.


" GUIDE TO THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
Part II : The Contents of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Section 2

Fundamental Freedoms

Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:

freedom of conscience and religion;
freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
freedom of peaceful assembly; and
freedom of association.
The Charter guarantees certain freedoms for everyone in Canada. Canadian traditions and laws have reflected the freedoms set out in section 2 for many years. Since 1982, the Charter has given these freedoms constitutional protection.

Under section 2 of the Charter, Canadians are free to follow the religion of their choice. In addition, they are guaranteed freedom of thought, belief and expression. Since the media are an important means for communicating thoughts and ideas, the Charter also protects the right of the press and other media to speak out. Our right to gather and act in peaceful groups is also protected, as is our right to belong to an association such as a trade union.

These freedoms are set out in the Charter to ensure that Canadians are free to create and to express their ideas, gather to discuss them and communicate them widely to other people. These activities are basic forms of individual liberty. They are also important to the success of a democratic society like Canada. In a democracy, people must be free to discuss matters of public policy, criticize governments and offer their own solutions to social problems.

Even though these freedoms are very important, governments can sometimes limit them. For example, laws against pornography and hate propaganda are reasonable limits on freedom of expression because they prevent harm to individuals and groups. "

appeal the refusal! You have the right to protest!

I hope you win your fight!

one time, in 1994 we were denied a permit for hempfest

so we just had one anyway! one of the biggest ever! at gasworks park in seattle, the next year the ACLU stepped in and now we always get our permits!

sadly the U.S. is puting alot of pressure on Canada not to legalize cannabis.....

The Canadian gov't as a whole would rather reap the benefits of a better U.S. relationship then grant drug users the freedom to legally consum THC without a prescription

nevada and colorado are on their way to legalize 1 oz for those 21 and older though
