Melissa and I are going to be there. We were invited because we are both in the film. They quote Melissa from the Million Marijuana March in Toronto and me at the cafe. They also filmed at the cafe for about a week getting interviews and stock b-reel footage.

Melissa is the one holding the Cannabian Flag in the bottom left hand corner of the picture below at Fill The Hill in Ottawa. Matt Mernaugh is the one smoking the joint and I know that grey hared guy in the middle but can't remember his name.

Looking forward to getting out of province for a little vacation.

The trailer for this film is amazing. I can't wait to watch.

Not quite sure if Christian will be travelling with us or having a vacation of his own with his grandparents??? Chris and I are still in the midst of this discussion...

See y'all there.

P.S. My avatar photo was taken at this time with the photo above where I am holding the Cannabian Flag in the bottom left hand corner. It was actually for the Bush Go Home protest in November 2004.

That grey hared guy in the middle of the picture comes in to the store every once in a while. At least that is where I remember him from, although, I do not remember his name either.

I have been waiting for this movie for almost a year it seems. Any idea if it's going to be played in the Toronto area?

Yes.

Chris tells me that they are going to be taking the movie to BC, Alberta, the prairies and then back to Toronto by the December. The producers hope that they will be granted a limited release by December.

I will ask some questions when I am there and post my answers here once home again.

Escape to Canada

Telling the story of a country’s coming of age, this documentary takes a look at the contentiousness between modern Canadian and American identities, politics, and beliefs.  As its alternate title—Land of the Freer—suggests, the world is taking notice that Canada has been putting into action the traditionally-touted American values of liberty, free speech, and social progress.  With legalized same-sex marriage, relatively lax policies on marijuana, and the federal government’s and most citizens’ opposition to the war in Iraq, tourists are flocking to this “freedom destination,” and even Americans are immigrating north in increasing numbers.  As TV host Bill Maher puts it, “Canada is hip,” but with the political polarization of such controversial issues, many south of the border are beginning to ask, “Do we really need more Canada?”
