OTTAWA -- Two pot-puffing "churchmen" are going to court after their bid for the Tory leadership went up in smoke.
Rev. Brother Michael Baldasaro, the leader of a church that holds pot as its high sacrament, said he and Rev. Brother Walter Tucker have applied for a judicial review by the Federal Court of the Tories' $30,000 deposit requirement for all leadership candidates. "The (leadership selection) process, it's undemocratic and it's unfair," Baldasaro said yesterday. The men have received a "donation" from former Tory leadership candidate John Long to cover costs. Baldasaro, who lives on a disability pension resulting from a head injury, said the main plank of his platform is the legalization of marijuana and the cancellation of all pot-related criminal charges.
