Tommy Chong joins BC NDP to support Dana Larsen

[aVeryIntelligentDog]

I totally support your cause but how do we know Dana Larsen won't be an idiot like the last NDP premier to get elected in BC. Glenn Clark may have been a "bad apple" but the NDP has done quite a few stupid things in the last few years, it will take some time for me to trust them.

I'd say their biggest mistake was opposing the carbon tax. As the progressive party of BC they should have supported the shit out of that tax, instead they take the populist way out and try to use it against the Libs.

[alexanderthegreat100]

VOTE CHONG!!!!!!!

[RussianBabyExcercise]

EVERYONE VOTE NDP!!!!!!!

[twobeavers]

Go Tommy!!

[highlighter250]

I would cry if cannabis was legal in Canada oh man that would make my life, It is ridiculous my friend got busted for having like half and ounce of weed in his locker and now he faces drug trafficking changes. Plain out stupid.

[Redeyeforadeadguy]

OH I hope everyone in BC votes! Im moving home in a couple years

[shawnabgoode]

Vote for Tommy!

[DSCKSR]

What happened to the pot party? I thought they where the ones to vote for if you wanted  the legilazation of marijuana. At least we know THEY are genuine.

[hippiejase]

@DSCKSR the pot party became the green party and their politics now are more about the environment. They do still support legalisation as far as i know....

[votedanalarsen]

If you live in BC, join the BC NDP now to support Dana's campaign!

Voting for the NDP is just choosing amongst several gangs of lying thieves who are busy tax-and-spending us into absolute bankruptcy.

To hell with the NDP -- and the rest of the crooks.

[bcbudqueen420]

I love how baked he is, all because of where he is. If he was any more stoned he wouldn't have been able to tell us what was going on. =P Good weed, will be down there soon!! Let's change this country.

[unknownsexyboy00]

Everyone Type "Won" Before youtube.com

[KaptKan1]

None of the political parties gives a damn about you, and the NDP is no different. They are as corrupt and dishonest as the others. If you think that you will ever have liberty and the right to run your own life by trusting any of these ghouls, then you've been smoking too much dope, man.

[TSARMOTAF]

@KaptKan1 Then what do you suggest we do? I have a idea. Lets all buy guns and shoot every single politician in canada and start all over again.

I guess that wouldn't work either though, because as you said Politician = Corrupt and Dishonest.

So i guess the only choice you really have is to fucking kill yourself.

[KaptKan1]

@TSARMOTAF If you weren't such a dimwit you might wonder if there are no other options than a) supporting one group of gangsters who steal your money and run your life for you, or b) supporting another group of gangsters who steal your money and run your life for you.

There are other options, but they require a) a willingness to be free, and b) a desire to be free. Slaves need not bother their pointed little heads with such weighty matters as libertarianism, et cetera.

[TSARMOTAF]

@KaptKan1 You can't just spout tripe like "willingness to be free" and "desire to be free".

This helps no one. If there really are other options then why aren't you sharing them?

[chaseef]

Legalization will never happen until we get the conservatives on board. The only way to get conservatives on board is if we make the argument in terms they relate to and understand.

Quit making pragmatic arguments such as: less gangs, tax revenue, its less harmful than alcohol. Conservatives are guided by ideology, not pragmatism. You must make the argument in ideological terms, like this:

What you do in your own home, so long as you hurt no one, is no business of the government.

[chaseef]

Hey NDP, civil liberty and economic liberty are inseparable. You either have liberty or you dont.

People are suffering because they are overtaxed. As a canadian in the lowest tax bracket, I give up over 50% of my income in taxes. If the NDP cares so much about the suffering of the poor, LET US KEEP WHAT WE EARN.

Im poor, and I dont want a hand out, that is just more taxes I will have to pay down the road. I just want to keep what I earn.

[KaptKan1]

@chaseef WELL SAID, chaseef! Taxation is theft, and the NDP are among the biggest thieves. They want to "help" us by creating even more and bigger bureaucracies to waste our time and money while telling us how to li e our lives. To hell with the NDP and the rest of the Statist parties. BIG GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.

[vancouverite4]

@chaseef income at what point "down the road"? the chances of actually climbing out of poverty or even the middle class are slim. "it could be me next" is a lie told to keep people believing in an unregulated market. right-wing economic policies help people at the top, no one else. job-creation is not connected to these policies as much as we're told, and trickle-down is a myth.

[Equity213]

@vancouverite4

A few points, if you think we have had anything close to laissez faire capitalism in our lifetime then your mistaken. Your comment about the poor climbing out of poverty is absurd. Do you really believe there is no class mobility in Canada? I dont think were living in the same country.

The main fallacy you seem to be hung up is the misconception that in capitalism one mans gain is another mans loss. But, im not going to get into an economic diatribe on youtube.

[vancouverite4]

@chaseef economic liberty means individuals have a right to personal property, because personal possessions are connected to a sense of dignity. it doesn't mean that a few people can accumulate massive amounts of capital and leave others with negative consequences in the process. economic liberty doesn't mean i can do whatever i want to get wealth

[chaseef]

A few points:

1-Legalization would be great, but I dont think the NDP could get it done.

2-NDP economic policy is so disastrously bad that even though they are great on foreign policy and civil liberties I could never vote for them.

The damage their economics would do to this country outweighs the good they might do on other issues in my opinion.

[mike6291]

Yeah lets get the voter so stoned they won't notice the fact this party is anti-Dad, and infringes our fundamental right to protect ourselves, or buy private car insurance... etc... etc..

[NoronicDisaster]

Tommy and Dana, how about exploring the topic of BC Rail and Basi-Virk? At least one of the BC Liberal candidates are connected and are trying to brush of an inquiry. Five families first, indeed.

[markg667]

@NoronicDisaster, all political partys are corrupt to the core in BC, as for BC rail and Basi-Virk is flogging a dead horse issue, What about all the NDP corruption in the past, how about looking into seeing that never happens again..

[CYLONEJACK]

Go TOMMY! You got it!

[mad3812]

My body my choice any way they dont stop people eating shit like Mc Donalds

shows how much they care

[TheToughcity]

Some of you just think about what you're typing here. Duh, You should be living in BC if you are thinking of joining the BCNDP. WtF are you thinking Manitoba teenager? No you can't help here in BC. All the 'No Dads Party' jokes... Yeah, those wern't even funny in the 80's. BC liberal hack. BC liberals bent this province over and had their way with her. But first the official opposition has to select a new leader. That's what this is about. Personally I think Leadership was fine. Damn Brutuses.

[markg667]

I do live in BC and it not funny seeing political partys who based their policys on gender issues And just for your information I am not a BC Liberal lover either. What I point out is based on fact, and if you sheep in BC really took the time out to look at the NDP you might get a grip on the truth, Don't for for the No Dads Party (NDP) if you care about your family, your income and the over taxing going on in BC to steal your hard earned money....

[markg667]

@TheToughcity... and the NDP didn't bend over BC too when they were in power, give your head a shake, man you people are bent, go get high and let real people deal with the NDP corruption, Yup they are the real No Dads Party (NDP) after all, it's a gender party...they need to come out of the dark ages..

[westwoodea]

i dont trust the NDP nor do i trust liberals so whos left?

[markg667]

@westwoodea well you can vote for people in your community who have your interest at heart

[Wolfsbane909]

His HIGH AS FUCK!!!

yep thats the Chong I know lol

[MeatLoafEnchilada]

I live in WA State. :D

[felixpav]

Great work Tommy and Dana!

[alexk307]

Tommy Cong for Prime Minister of Canada!!!! Who's with me!!!!

[markg667]

@alexk307 No likey, unless Tommy really understands that freedom and rights are not for sale at any price that wants to enslave it's people in a police state mentaility... The NDP will sell out for the climate change propaganda and for global government.

[alexk307]

@markg667 THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF BOLOGNA!

[kengwiebe]

I'd vote BC Libertarian Party before I vote NDP, no matter who is leader. Besides, I don't trust any of Marc Emery's censorious inner circle. They are too frightened by truth.

[markg667]

@kengwiebe Is the BC Libertarian Party runnning, Because if they are, I'll vote for them, at least they believe in rights and freedoms, where as the corruption in the Liberals and NDP has too much histroy in Bc with trashing over familys, that is with the NDP No Dads Party. It is amazing how many people in BC are willing to give up all their rights and freedoms for surcuirty. Oh I like your comment too, as it speaks real truth as with Dana Larsen, you get my drift

[shavluk]

well sorry but I am embarrassed by tommy's obvious stupidity here

he should only be endorsing parties that actually have a "re-legalized cannabis policy"

and that means the green party or the bloc

the ndp certainly dont and I should know as the last time it was tried to be

I had to run for president of the party in Quebec city in 2006

join and vote for the party that works for the police and penitentiary workers UNIONS ???

I THINK NOT !!!

sounds like a """stupid pothead"" to me !

[CousinSkinny]

Why nominate this guy? The NDP isn't going to win anyway.

[diamonddust22]

Why would anyone want to join a pinko party? People who've been smoking pot for years look like shit and act alike retarded monkey lippin idiots.

[PsychStudent85]

As an American who doesn't use drugs I find it amazing that this PLANT is illegal. It has many medicinal purposes and can also be used for many other purposes.

It is illegal is because many people are making money of the fact that it is! Lets keep throwing people in prison for a plant that grows naturally on our Earth. Lets not help the sick and dying with this natural remedy but fill them up with chemical combos by Drug Companies that make billions because this plant is illegal!

THINK!

[Rhal95]

@PsychStudent85 I agree totally. I also don't smoke it, but its such an amazing plant, smoking it is almost the last use for it.

Legalization would mean no more deforestation, and no more cotton droughts. It's also the only way to get tax money from its use. The illegal status just doesn't work, unless you're a cultivator/ trafficker , then its good money.

[Some1Had2SayIt1]

hah fuck tommy is high as fuck

[dutchmafia999]

Tommy Chong knows nothing about politcs and he's telling people who to vote for. LMAO. Next time hes around ask him what NDP stands for and you will witness how much knowledge Mr. Chong has on Canadian Politics. I'm sure Dana is a GREAT candidate, but getting Tommy Chong to endorse him is just plain stupidity.

[pissedoffpothead]

@dutchmafia999 How do you know about what he knows about politics? Did you get your info from his movies?

[dutchmafia999]

Join the NDP for one reason, Dana Larsen. How stupid does that sound. I have buddies in politics and they would never post a public video sounding this stupid. If anything it will lose votes for Dana.@pissedoffpothead

[theweedguy]

@dutchmafia999 YOUR A COMPLETE TROLL. TOMMY CHONG IS A ICON FOR THE MARIJUANA MOVEMENT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM ENDORSING ANYONE EVER IN POLITICS. AS A MEDICAL MARIJUANA USER IT PAINS ME TO LISTEN TO IGNORANT BASELESS STATIC FROM MORONS LIKE YOU. PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND NEVER OPEN YOUR NEGATIVE SPINELESS MOUTH AGAIN. TOMMY HAS BEEN PUTTING HIS NAME ON THE FREE MARC CAMPAIGN FOR A LONG WHILE. I THINK HE KNOWS WHAT PROHIBITION IS FUCKER AND HOW IT EFFECTS ONES LIFE.

[dutchmafia999]

Hey Marc. Tommy is a great guy, great actor. He sounds absolutely stupid in this video. It absolutely does not help your cause. Videos like these create large amounts of negativity against weed smokers. Vote for Dana, but these adds are ridiculous. @theweedguy

[theweedguy]

@dutchmafia999 your so ignorant you spell my name wrong. I dont see your point. he is urging people to join the NDP. Get the fuck over your ego and stop looking like a complete hater

[rapturjesuss]

I'm only 15 and live in Ontario, anyway I can help this guy win?

[6489532ab]

Tommy ....your cool.

[elwaponino]

Gave me a fucken Idea when I run again Tommy, I might have to get Cheech to endorse me.

[jmalcolmcurrie]

Far out, man.

[beeastar]

Drug Law Reform is a SERIOUS issue in the World and ESPECIALLY in North America where cannabis IS and IS NOT legal for medical use depending on where you live.....

I ran for Federal Office for the NDP in Oakville,Ontario, Canada in 2004 and more than DOUBLED the votes because people wanted change THEN!

Knock 'em Dead Dana! U have MY Vote!

[RockerDaddyTazz]

Let's not forget that Both Larson and the Green Princess both need the Guidance of thier Jailed Prince!!! Things like who can be on who's Campaign Teams, and CASH Donations?? OR! Will we see Green NDP Signs this time? I wonder it the Official Opposition will call themselves the BC GreenMJNDP? BC NDPMJ Green? BC NDPGreenMJ? BC MJGreen NDP? BC MJNDPGreen? You can even see the Prince on the Wall!! What a Joke!!! TTFN RDT

[RockerDaddyTazz]

NDP in Fighting Question for ya!

With the Vancouver and Street Dope, is Libby's Federal seat in a BC NDP MLA Constituency?

We know the BC NDP Support the CDSA or did during the week of November 29, 2009!!

NDP House leader Demanded the CDSA be enforced in BC over Poppy husks??

That would be a NDP Poppy / Pot war right?

[RockerDaddyTazz]

You smoke way to much man!!

Do you think the sick should buy thier street dope??

Do research Tom!!

[dutchmafia999]

Tommy says he likes the NDP just because of Dana Larsen. What a joke.

Ask tommy what NDP stands for. I bet he has no fuckin clue. If a conservative stood up and said i love weed, Tommy would be all over voting conservative, thats how lost he really is.

VOTE GREEN, fuck the fakers using weed for publicity

[GrowTheTruth]

I'll vote for Dana! :D

[LongBean420]

Would it change for all of canada? im in Ont and need this medicine

[RosstheLoner]

I hope the NDP does better in BC then here in Nova Scotia.

[easyginger]

Dude. He still sounds stoned out of his tree even now :)

[NoronicDisaster]

@easyginger He's appealing the stoner community. Going around the MSM and establishment bloggers who are into the pun contests. This is a BILLION-DOLLAR INDUSTRY that some people are literally making fun off I call that kind of attitude ignorant and incompetent. Dana knows the pot industry better than any of the other candidates. They've elected actors (Reagan, Schwarzennegger) as Calif. governors, and why? Because they were ACTORS. BC's main export is pot. Makes total sense to vote Dana!

[TheAnonredpill]

Let's legalize marijuana this year. What do you say guys?

[Pygmahia5]

@TheAnonredpill lol what a great year this would be if it happened.

[markg667]

Why, because it makes you all stupid, that's why, lets look at the NDP and why would any person in his right mind want to vote for a feminist party, as the NDP still stuck on sex discrimination against men, their still living in the dark ages, but I guess if you smoke up, none of that will matter, as you don't have to use your brain. The NDP is the only party whose constitution includes job requirements based on sex. So you men folks out there, don’t bother to apply.

[markg667]

(2) and The B.C. branch of the party is stuck explaining why half the population of the province is banned from seeking its leadership based on their sex, and how discriminating on the basis of sex (male) isn’t the same as discriminating on the basis of sex (female). You figured that one out yet, The NDP has also discriminated against Men and children for way too long, just look at the laws they create,and anyone with half a brain, will know that. The No Dads Party (NDP)

[markg667]

Tommy Chong I thought you were smarter then that, oh well you vote for the No Dads Party (NDP) as those who can't figure it out, need to get better educated about the BC political partys.....

[TheAnonredpill]

@markg667 I never said to support the NDP.

[unknownsexyboy00]

@TheAnonredpill NO!

[j3w15h]

@TheAnonredpill WOOOOOORD peace and pot hommie

[SystemFailureYT]

Doesn't the new BC NDP leader have to be a woman?

[1313Travis1313]

@SystemFailureYT I just read in todays paper that the rule is 20 years old and now outdated, and that the cause for the equality of men and women are pretty much reached now so they say who ever makes the best leader for the NDP party will be the leader, no gender specifics.

[SystemFailureYT]

@1313Travis1313 Oh, thanks. I hadn't read that. Which paper was this?

[hagbard72]

I'm confused. I know Chong took out US citizenship, and I thought he still lived in the States. Can he vote in BC?

[Caltwentynine]

@hagbard72 He was born here in Canada though.

[mike10dude]

@hagbard72 he is a dual citizen and he still spends lots of time in british columbia
