POT PARTY LEADER SAYS EMERY NEXT THOREAU

Editor:

The dismissive attitude of the Prince George Free Press toward "stuntman"
(and president of the BC Marijuana Party) Marc Emery would be a lot easier
to believe if you took a PR line from the RCMP and ignored him yourselves.
I'm sure, in his era, many people thought Henry David Thoreau was a stuntman
as well.

Like it or not, marijuana is an important issue across this country and it
appears that in Prince George, your readers seem to want to know about it
notwithstanding your attempt at ridicule. Why else would you not only report
on it, but editorialize on it?

Tim Meehan,

Acting Leader

Ontario Marijuana Party

Editor's Note: Marc Emery is the leader of the B.C. Marijuana Party, not the
Marijuana Party of Canada as stated in Sunday's Free Press.
