Marc Emery certainly isn't a leftist, although he mostly hangs out with them.
He is a libertarian, even running in Ontario once.
A lot of the socialist pot activists hate him for his politics.
He did a lot to strike down some stupid laws.
Ontario had sunday shopping restrictions, which nobody supported,
and he was one of the store owners who opened sundays and got the law thrown
out.
He also sold the banned 2 live crew CD and was busted, and we can all listen
to nigga rap today.
Canada had banned any pro-cannabis publications, so he gave away high-times in
front of the police
station.
Yes, he should not be bashing Conservatives when Liberals are just as bad on
basic freedoms.
I just downloaded his speech MP3, you can watch it on U-tube.
