FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SASKATOON: ‘Prince of Pot’ to visit Saskatoon.

Marc Emery, Canada’s ‘prince of pot’ will visit Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on June 27 – 29, 2007. He will be speaking and entertaining questions at the downtown branch of the Saskatoon Public Library and participating in a marijuana legalization rally across the street at Saskatoon City Hall beginning at 3:00pm.

The event, "Marc Emery Live!", will feature a presentation by Mr. Emery followed by a question period. A Rally and BBQ will be held across the street from the downtown library branch at Saskatoon City Hall directly following the speaking engagement.

Mr. Emery will be speaking about drug policy reform and his fight to remain in Canada. Currently, Marc and two other Canadian activists from Vancouver are facing extradition to the USA for selling cannabis seeds. If extradited, these individuals will likely be incarcerated for life in the USA for a ‘crime’ the Canadian Government refuses to prosecute.

In 2005, Marc was arrested in Saskatoon following a rally in Kiwanis Memorial Park and sentenced to 60 days in jail for passing a joint in public. On his release, Mr. Emery commented on the draconian interpretation of drug laws in our own province.

A recent UN report indicating that Canada has the highest marijuana usage rates among industrialized nations, has brought the legalization debate to everyone’s attention. Supporters and concerned citizens have a wonderful opportunity to meet and hear Canada’s leading legalization activist speak in their hometown.

We got to 11 Calgary hemp stores today. Saskatoon and Calgary Marc Emery Live event posters are now displayed in all 11 Calgary hemp stores.

We also collected a few prize/raffle (you folks decide) donations that can be viewed at Calgary hemp store donations for the July 28 Saskatoon event. http://Calgary420.ca/rallies/saskatoon_july_28_07/ for pictures of donations and a text file with hemp store information.

See you all in Saskatoon July 28!

Alert,
There's a protest rally going on the same day and time at the river bank. Free food and such,
 protesting housing allowance for the poor. put on by Equal Justice for all.
 First time they did anything for the poor in decades!!!

Ed, why not post this event as its own thing rather than spamming this thread and mixing the message. Worthy protest, but I think this thread already has a worthy event it wishes to promote.

[ed]

I was talking to one of the people setting it up and postering so I guess they never heard from anyone and changed the date of their campaign.

This event has nothing to do with pot but if your putting on an event that conflicts this is the place to put it.
The same people that you want at Marcs rally would be camped out under the Broadway bridge. See what I mean?

Will you be able to bring a hundred people out to Marcs, out of a town of 200,000, with a high percentage of Cannabis users?

 3 out of 5 people here use cannabis.

Ed, you should be our rep there. Go for it!

Attract more people and keep them around longer maybe you should look into making Bannock?

I don't have an oven but the westside community clinic invites me over to make bannock for triple F and switch on Wednesdays and Saturdays. So if someones got an oven and they're close by I have all the ingredients just not an oven.

Bannock is a great idea. Hemp bannock would be wonderful. It would be great if you could get this going for future events and gatherings, ed.
