Canada's most high profile cannabis activists; Marc y Jodie Emery, Chris y Erin Goodwin and Britney Guerra, aka the Cannabis Culture 5 [CC5], returned to court May 23 at Toronto's old city hall.
Here are the takeaways: The Crown has finally provided full disclosure of the evidence against the CC5. There will be a judicial pre-trial meet. Another court date is set for June 15th.
The CC5 left by noon with their lawyer to review the evidence and discuss their case. Happily, unlike during the CC5 March bail hearing [Here!] [Here!] the grinding tedium of the court process was kept to a minimum, the proceedings mercifully short.
Sadly, mainstream news coverage of the May 23rd court date has been minimal and in very short supply. So too an answer from Toronto Police Services [TPS], the Mayor's Office or the Trudeau government, to the excellent questions Jodie raised in her court step media scrum. Here's my unedited video clip of her comments for you to see @ HERE!
Consider this:
Why are police targeting Canada's most high profile cannabis activists, and the increasingly popular dispensary movement now, after the cannabis community has fought for decades to legalize weed? As Jodie explains we potheads are peaceful, non violent, and guilty at worst of a victimless crime!
Why aren't other more violent, dangerous offenders now being rounded up instead? Inexplicably, with legalization coming in Spring 2018, the number of cannabis prohibition busts quite drastically continues to grow!
Make no mistake! The new Canadian reefer madness is creating an unnecessary and very costly burden for our overtaxed police and court system! Taking away dollars that could be much better spent on our hospitals and schools, and to protect us from the much more dangerous criminal elements on our streets!
Welcome to Prohibition 2.0! The Trudeau neo liberals and their corporate cronies are eyeing the big profit$ and tax dollar$ to be made from "legalization". Of course decriminalization or an amnesty doesn't make any sense! Plus an example must be made of the high profile Cannabis Culture 5 activists for standing in the way. Trudeau's henchmen are very busy clearing the path for a big cannabiz monopoly takeover come next year!
