HE DOESN'T GIVE UP EASILY
Pembroke may have a mayoralty race leading up to the Nov. 13
municipal election, but we just can't see our three-man race being
nearly as interesting as one shaping up in West Nipissing.
Michel Ethier, 49, is still in jail, but says he will be out in time
to campaign for mayor. He is a marijuana activist (he has run for the
Marijuana Party in the last two federal elections) and is a minister
in the pro-pot Church of the Universe.
This will be Ethier's third run at the mayor's seat in West
Nipissing. He finished a distant third in 1998 and got a total of 63
votes in 2003.
Even if he doesn't win, we'll bet he'll be entertaining.
And his mere presence is what democracy is all about.
