BURLINGTON, Ont. -- Alison Myrden, one of the nation's leading patient advocates for medical marijuana, is proud to announce she has accepted the nomination for the Federal New Democratic Party for the riding of Oakville, Ontario (Riding 35060).
Myrden, who has a background in corrections and medical secretarial work, decided to step forward last November. "What impressed me most, aside from the NDP's commitment to Health Care, was the NDP's commitment to Canadian sovereignty, as well as Jack Layton's record on Toronto City Council. The NDP's much-appreciated support for the modernization of our marijuana laws also played a role in my decision."
"I suffer from Chronic Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, as well as Tic Douloureux - an unbearable pain in my face which lasts 24 hours a day. Until I started using marijuana as medicine, I was bound to my wheelchair. Now, thanks to this wonderful plant, I have much better quality of life. So much, in fact, that I can find the energy to run for Parliament and promote the interests of disabled Oakville residents and all Canadians," says Myrden.
"I'm looking forward to helping Canada's NDP team," concluded Alison.
