'Free Marc Emery' Activists Occupy Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Office

Join the Worldwide Rally For Marc Emery - MAY 22, 2010

From CTV: There was a sit in at the prime minister's constituency office on Wednesday.

At 1p.m., demonstrators entered the Calgary office and explained they would be staying until the end of the business day.

Those who took part saw it as a non-violent way to protest the pending extradition of Marc Emery.

Emery is the self-proclaimed Prince of Pot. In days, he is expected to be extradited to the United States for selling marijuana seeds.

Emery's wife was part of Wednesday's protest.

Jodie Emery says the occupation is a symbolic gesture and the right of every Canadian no matter what their issue may. "These are public spaces paid for by us, employees are paid by our tax payers dollars, these spaces are owned by us."

There were a total of five peaceful occupations across the country on Wednesday. Two took place in Ontario; one was in Kelowna; and one was in Vancouver.

"The protesters found a copy of the Canadian charter"

Wow lucky them, average Canadian citizens are not allowed to to look at the charter, it is a sacred document reserved for only the highest in power. *sarcasm*

Every Canadian should know the charter of rights and freedoms! Its the only protection you have against the tyranny of this government.

@JesusDillinger Do you Americans know how evil you government is?

I'll say it: Harper's actions are treasonous! He sold out a Canadian politician to his right-wing fundamentalist Christian brethren. Harper was in lock step with Bush. Emery offended drug czar John P.Walters when Emery and his crew bought a seat at a table and heckled Walters mercilessly. I believe that action in particular set the wheels in motion to get Emery.

Now I know that Marc can seem obnoxious even to his supporters; that doesn't change the fact that he undertook a dangerous mission.

@ddpsp I wrote that comment 5 months ago. It seems like 5 years because my opinions have evolved so much. Before, I might have thought that piece of shit Harper was merely a bad politician. Now I get that this is part of a program to desensitize people to literally any outrage.

Hemp is too useful in too may ways and too easily produced to be allowed by big business, so Harper must betray Canada to global superfascism. He's a traitor.

Conglomerates can leave no place can safe from tyranny.

@JesusDillinger Before Stephen Harper, Canada was widely regarded as America's little brother. After Stephen Harper, Canada was widely regarded as the whimpering sex slave America drags around with a collar and leash.

I can only hope this will be how Stephen Harper's "legacy" is remembered after he returns to the foul, tepid, polluted lake from which he first crawled out, the wretched little fascist fish-face fucker.

@babyshields I met him once in Ontario during a music festival. He was the kindest and most generous man I've ever encountered. He is a man of deep conviction who advocates for the rights of Canadian citizens to enjoy their personal sovereignty and self-determination. Before meeting him, I thought he was a compelling activist. After meeting him, I developed a deep admiration for him.

Sorry to say, I only saw Marc Emery in person once. He was rudest person I could imagine. He barged into a meeting at Newlands Golf and Country which was actually for support Groups that help with recovery of addictions.  He showed dishonor and disrespect to the seniors and actually said something about health insurance should not be after 65 or some age. He was verbally abusive for no reason. Must have been approximiately 4/5 years ago in Langley, B.C.
