Regardless of a black market existing or not, in time, people will find a way.

hi dana
any news on this
john shavluk

Well the ndp is so small they basically have to count on grass roots for any votes so yeah they'll tell you anything. Maybe we can have them running another province and toss Marc back in jail, or completely bail on him after he supports them in another election again, yeah go NDP!

I just joined the NDP. The annual fee is only $10.00
Now I'm a big shot.

as you mature and find out that there are few bravehearts that can take on society singlehanded and change things.

as you realize that it is a system and that nothing has changed since the lords and serfs,we just call them something else
when you find a crack in a party thats relevant,a small opening in which we can make inroads, so that others dont have to go through what i and many others have.
you act...i would be trying to run for the benzamian snake worshipers party if they had a sniff of a chance to do something for the poor ignorant average person who only cares to find out whats happening after a large pee pee slap to themselfs.
so as you criticize danas and mine and many others supposedly wasting our time with the ndp,please include your great plan.i for one can be counted on to bring it to fruition for you rather than blabbing here and doing nothing

They sent me a real nice welcome that looks like this...
Dear ,

Important info:
This email confirms that your credit card information has been received and that you are officially a member of the NDP. Your payment will be processed and your provincial/territorial office will issue your membership card in the next few weeks. If you need a proof of membership, please print out a copy of this email. Should you have any membership-related questions, email us!

Thank you for choosing to join the New Democratic Party of Canada! It is a pleasure to have you join the tens of thousands of Canadians who have more than doubled our membership in recent months.

The NDP is a party on the move, and is the only federal party that increased its vote in the 2004 election. More than twice as many Canadians voted for New Democrats in 2004 than they did in the last election – that’s a million more people who’ve said they agree with our vision of a greener, fairer, and more caring society.

We saw the NDP’s new energy at the ballot box and it’s a new energy we’re going to see every day in the House of Commons.

Now that you have joined the NDP, I encourage you to get involved with the Party in your community – encourage your family, friends and co-workers to join, make a donation, or get involved with your riding association. This minority government is an opportunity to prove to Canadians why we need strong progressive voices in Parliament.

Automatic with your membership application is a subscription to our electronic newsletter, e.NDP. This newsletter will keep you up to date on Jack, NDP Members of Parliament and the Party. Should you not wish to receive e.NDP, please click here.

The NDP is open and accessible to each and every member. If you have any questions or would like to get involved in Party activities in your community, please do not hesitate to contact us, your provincial/territorial office or re-visit www.ndp.ca for more information.

Sincerely,

Adam Giambrone
President
New Democratic Party of Canada

Adam Giambrone of Toronto? Surely the NDP can do better then that for the party whip. Ah well, well intentioned chap anyway.

Cheers

I just sent this to Dana Larson

hi Dana
I just got a call from Ernie Fulton my riding pres.
he says that I cant be a delegate because my 90 days is only up on nov 23 ????I am pissed and I am planning on fighting it,also some dissent after the meeting as some wanted to know how I could run against them and be back....but Ernie says he will vote for the resolution I will advise.im going to try to see carol James....

my wife cant be an alternate as well..

everyone knows WHY I ran BCMP ,,,, BECAUSE they provincial ndp,,,,,, threw chucks marijuana resolution behind the office fridge in Victoria .we would not have been in the election had they presented it,,,,guy gentner(my riding opponent) would not even talk to me about his marijuana stance beyond "its not gateway drug"...well it is a sad moment again for me as I have had nothing but trouble in trying to work with this negative attitude of some of the provincial ndp,,maybe they should all watch jack on pot TV and see why we are here trying to be active members
I have cc"d this to provincial office as they know I tried to rejoin the same way I left asking for a sabbatical to run provincially,,, this happened in June 05 .I formally(website)joined august 23 05
I am sorry Dana and others that I may not be able to be at this convention AND BE STRONG VOICE for us and I pray someone has the authority to correct this obviously ridiculous rule...my 90 days is up before the convention......

Maybe I'm a bit of a pessimist but I have very little faith that NDP will support full legalization either federally or provincially here in BC.

I know, I saw Jack Layton on POT-TV, and I've heard Libby Davies talk legalization but once push came to shove the NDP supported the 'de-crim' bill that has been floating around Ottawa for the last 2-3 years.

Thank God that worthless piece of crap has been shelved yet again.

I fully support the Senate Report that came out in 2002.

God speed with your plan to infiltrate the NDP with pot smokers. At $10 a pop it is certainly a reasonable plan.
