The Brantford 420 Freedom Rally, led by Brittni Mitchell, intends to gather in Victoria Park on April 20 with music, guest speakers and prizes in an effort to convince Canadians to legalize marijuana. They have boldly advertised that at 4: 20 p.m. on that day they will all "light up" and smoke marijuana, flaunting this illegal action right in the face of our police. I am sure the police are prepared and have a plan for this day. Whatever they do, the police have my full support. I would ask Ms. Mitchell and her followers to consider holding their rally nearer to the police station, if not at it. This would allow those who don't want to inhale second-hand marijuana smoke on April 20 to enjoy Victoria Park. And it would also make a shorter distance to jail for rally participants.
