GOOD LUCK, MIKE

I was relieved to read in Wednesday's NOW that my MLA, Mike 
Farnworth, was expected to throw his hat in the ring for NDP party leadership.

I was also surprised that a "marijuana activist" has the cheek to try 
as well. Is not marijuana an illegal substance? It certainly has no 
place in politics as it is the "thin edge of the wedge" in the 
corruption and destruction of healthy people.

After the brief Glen Clark government, we almost completely destroyed 
the provincial NDP.

Farnworth, I believe, spent some time after that broadening his 
experience by spending time in eastern Europe. As a result, he is 
better prepared to take on the role of NDP leader, and possibly of 
British Columbia leader.

Good luck, Mike!
