Famed pot-loving actor and director Tommy Chong brought a few nuggs of truth to The Huckabee Show on FOX News.
Sporting a 'Free Marc Emery' T-shirt, Tommy called guest David Evans on his lies about marijuana, then started scrappin' with the former Arkansas Governor turned FOX News host Mike Huckabee.
"You're getting paid to say what you're saying," he told the host. "You get paid to recite all the lies that have put people like myself in jail." Read more »
OTTAWA — After years of cordial relations with the United States on the issue of prison transfers, the Harper government’s recent crackdown on repatriating offenders may be causing a diplomatic rift.
Documents obtained by Postmedia News under Access To Information indicate the U.S. Department of State sent a diplomatic note to the Canadian Embassy in Washington last December outlining concerns raised by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the transfer of offenders.
The documents indicate U.S. officials were seeking to meet “face-to-face” with their Canadian counterparts to discuss the matter further.
The e-mail exchanges between Public Safety and Foreign Affairs officials talk of internal meetings to “discuss the note and tactics for response” to it. Read more »
MONTREAL—Cheech and Chong have got some pretty blunt advice for Prime Minister Stephen Harper when it comes to Canada’s marijuana’s laws.
“Wise up, you douchebag,” Cheech Marin says with some glee when asked what he’d tell the prime minister.
Chong, who hails from Edmonton, nods in agreement.
The team of tokers is miffed that Canadian authorities, after nearly decriminalizing pot a few years ago, have made a 180-degree policy shift which culminated in a rash of recent marijuana arrests.
“I would tell Stephen Harper to let go of George Bush’s butt,” Chong chimes in. “Your head’s too far up there. Get your head out of his butt. He’s gone. George is gone. He’s history, Stephen.
“In fact, turn it over to other people who care about more important things.” Read more »
Jacob Hunter, Nicole Seguin, Chris Goodwin and Erin Gorman visit Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's office June 22 to protest Marc Emery's incarceration.
After an initial locked door, staff welcome the protesters in and listen and discuss for 15 minutes the relevant issues. Unlike recent protests, only 1 police officer attended the protest, and was very polite and friendly.
Let this be a lesson to Niagara and Oakville police: Your more experienced, better trained and more intelligent fellow officers are making you look terrible.

It seems the Los Angeles-based standup comedian loves the Great White North and its famously friendly inhabitants, but is none too pleased with Canada’s recent decision to extradite B.C. pot activist Marc Emery to the U.S. for selling marijuana seeds through the mail.
“That’s really a disgraceful thing. I’m really upset at Canada for doing that, for giving that guy up to America,” Rogan said in a telephone interview this week. “No one in Canada wants to prosecute him yet they send this guy to America to lock him in a cage for selling seeds of a plant that makes you silly.”
Rogan will take the stage at the Burton Cummings Theatre on Saturday, his first stop in Winnipeg in more than 20 years of doing standup comedy. He appeared on the NBC sitcom NewsRadio in the ‘90s and is best known for his later role as host of the reality TV show Fear Factor and his current gig doing colour commentary for the hugely popular Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

CANNABIS CULTURE - Another 'Free Marc Emery' campaign activist was arrested during a Conservative MP office occupation in an apparent attempt by Canadian officials to subvert the rights of peaceful protestors. The arrest is the third in days for members of the campaign, who say authorities are using brute force and shady tactics to keep them quiet.
Nicole Seguin, a Vancouver drug policy reform activist and member of the 'Free Marc Emery' campaign, was arrested on Tuesday, June 15 for protesting at the Oakville, Ontario constituency office of Conservative MP Terence Young.
