Leader Of Marijuana Party Joins Liberal Party Of Canada To Advance Marijuana Issue
Marc Boris St-Maurice, the former leader of the Marijuana Party of Canada has resigned his position and taken up ranks with the federal Liberal Party in the hopes of advancing the marijuana cause.
While Marc Boris St-Maurice is now gone, the party he has supported since their inception will continue on in his absence. Blair T. Longley, is the new leader of the Marijuana Party of Canada.
From Marc Boris St-Maurice:
I had the honor and privilege to serve as leader of Canada’s Marijuana Party from it’s inception in 2000 to December, 2004, when I resigned to become an active member of the Liberal Party of Canada.
I believe that if any party will ever legalize marijuana in Canada, it is the Liberals and I hope to bring my knowledge and expertise on this issue to help the Liberal party develop new policies, programs and legislation which address the marijuana situation.
I think there is wide support for marijuana reform within the Liberal party and I am confident that a large proportion of these silent supporters will come forward once the issue is pressed, and I look forward to working with them to bring about this positive change.
I will also be attending the bi-annual convention to help rally support for Resolution No. 87 which calls for the legalization of marijuana that is to be debated at the convention between 11:00 Â 12:30, Saturday, March 5, 2005.
Editor Note:
I had the pleasure of meeting Marc Boris St-Maurice on a couple of occasions including at Elections Canada advisory meetings. Marc Boris St-Maurice was passionate about the marijuana issue, but more than that, he has a keen sense for organization and that will surely come to serve to the Liberal Party well.
