NDP leader Jack Layton denies that he had a deal with Marc Emery’s BC Marijuana Party to join forces, but he’s on video saying that he supports ending penalties for having, growing or selling marijuana: www.youtube.com On September 20, 2008, his spokesperson Brad Lavigne told the Canadian Press: “Lavigne acknowledged the NDP has long advocated, and continues to advocate, decriminalization of simple possession of small amounts of marijuana, but said that does not extend to trafficking or grow ops.” Talk about a confusing message.

Among some of the topics discussed in Part Threee are global perspectives and green solutions. This is unmastered footage, rough cuts of extended interviews that will be impossible to include in their enirety in a documentary film I am shooting. But I felt like these interviews should be posted so people can hear what the participants of the film have to say. (more)
