FERRIES, CITY OF SURREY The folks behind a push to put a marijuana-decriminalization referendum to voters are suing B.C. Ferries and the City of Surrey for denying canvassers an opportunity to sign up the public during their recent unsuccessful referendum campaign. SensibleBC lawyer Kirk Tousaw said civic and ferry officials harassed canvassers. He said preventing canvassers from operating denies them their Charter rights to political expression. SensibleBC director Dana Larsen said ferries officials threatened canvassers and called police. "Happily, police declined to make any arrests, but they should not have been called in the first place." - - The Province - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
