Well, Dana Larsen. The Canadian government is a bit of a mess right now, thanks to quite a lot of things - but Mr. Chong made a Youtube vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzawp2RpJ0Y) asking Canada to support the NDP party.

Now, if you don't know Tommy Chong, this might refresh your memory:

Dave's Not Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlOSOlgkqUQ)

Does that give his message less impact? The 'Free Marc Emmery' poster denotes some activism, but I dun know Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong that well to decide if Chong is pledging his support because this is a pro-marijuana candidate, or because they actually support his values.

For those who are curious, here's a Q and A with Mr. Larsen. (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dana+larsen+NDP+2010+speech\&aq=f)

Wait. Aren't those two very compatible option?

Being anti marijuana prohibition very much implies some kind of valued stance.

I was wondering if it was like those people who say anime is better than western animation simply because it's anime. Whether or not Chong is supporting Larsen solely because of the anti-prohibition stance than for anything else.

EDIT: If he is supporting this candidate because the candidate advocates the end of marijuana prohibition

then that would indicate that Tommy Chong values the end of marijuana prohibition

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo
