Known for his pro-marijuana activism, Felger has applied for a business licence for a bookstore and political office in a leased building in downtown Abbotsford -- an office he says he'll need in order to prepare for November municipal elections. "It's too early to tell how much of a run-around they're giving me," Felger said of city officials "I'm going to get my message out if I have to sit on the street corner and do it." Felger's storefront is papered with his political thoughts on marijuana prohibition. He says 100 people a day stop to read what he has to say. Felger has gotten permission to franchise his store with the name Da Kine, which is also the name of the Vancouver cafe known for selling marijuana. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
