Dear Premier Please add my name to the thousands of British Columbians who do not want the privatization of our creeks and rivers, or the development around them! Do not proceed with the Howser Glacier project, we don't want it we don't want it we don't want it we don't want it! Please get the picture... I know money is needed to save B.C. because of the deep dark hole the Olympics has caused. Instead, why don't you legalize marijuana and industrial hemp and start a whole new industry. It wouldn't take long and would take us out of that hole. If you are anti-legalization of marijuana then it only makes sense that you must be for organized crime. It is a crime that good BC Bud is being is exchanged for hard drugs. If it were legal it would be harder to do so. If marijuana is illegal because of our health, then why are cigarettes and alcohol legal. Prohibition does not work, education does! Perhaps the lives of politicians would be in danger if they voted for legalization. I hope it is on the tables for discussion soon because it is so ridiculous that is illegal.
