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.
