- Report (from old GMM site):
- Last Year the press reported 12,000. This Year CTV reported 20,000, and CITY TV mentioned doubled attendance than last year, while re-reporting the 12,000 estimate. So 20-25 thousand. Seems about right. However, there will be those who are sure there were 30-40 thousand, and at certain points the crown could have swelled to those levels.
- Marc Emery's Toronto estimates:
- My view, by the military statue, for Toronto was 6,000 - 8,000 at any one time at Queen's Park, 7,000 or so in the march, and possibly 20,000 over the course of 5 hours.

- Report (from old GMM site):
This was year was the 8th annual event for the global marijuana march in Toronto. It has always been peaceful without any arrests. This year we attracted over !!!25,000 people!!!. There were plain clothed police making sure no one was trafficking, and uniformed police simply kept the peace and were courteous and professional. There were no arrests (again) and there were no incidences of violence (again).
The event was billed as a cultural event and everyone had lots of fun with 2 stages, 25 musicians, belly dancer, fire spinners, djembi drummers and only a handful of security guards. There were over 30 booths (stations) from various sponsors across Canada. The hot dog vendor and pizza guy sold out of food.
The organizers this year formed a not-for-profit organization and they worked very successfully with all municipal officials and vendors. The parade through downtown Toronto was about 10,000 people strong, which only gave the marchers a very bad case of the munchies.
Next year can only be bigger - we invite all cities to network with Toronto's event to produce a truly globalizing event.

GOP War on the Poor[]
Return to top. Section link. Republican war on the poor, and middle class. Since low minimum wages lower wages above it too. The inflation-adjusted minimum wage peaked at over $14 in 1968 (see chart on page 2). It has halved in real value down to $7.25 today. The stolen wages went to Trump's billionaire club, and stayed there due to Reagan and Trump's gutting of progressive taxation via tax cuts for the rich. See CRS chart. "Study after study has found that raising minimum wages has a positive effect on employment." - John Driscoll, of Patriotic Millionaires.org - Sep 12, 2024 article. See Facebook: Patriotic Millionaires. And see many maps showing the failings of Republican states. [16] [17] [18]. GOP states overall (as in the South) have the worst cannabis laws, lowest minimum wages, worst healthcare, etc..
| US minimum wage would be $25.52 an hour in 2023 if it had kept up with productivity. The split coincided with Nixon's 1971 declaration of a War on Drugs. |

Billionaire tax rates[]
Return to top. Section link. The minimal billionaire tax rates are maintained by the tyrannical 60% filibuster rule: What is the US Senate filibuster, and what would it take to eliminate it? Steep progressive tax rates on all types of billionaire income could be imposed by a simple majority through the nuclear option in the Senate.
See Wikipedia: Wealth inequality in the United States.
Google: Buy, Borrow, Die. Tax strategy of the rich to pay few taxes. See Google Images search, too. See the ProPublica video and articles: [20][21]. And other articles: [22][23][24][25].
First chart shows the absurdly low tax rate that billionaires pay on ALL their income, including untaxed capital and wealth gains. Second chart shows the comparatively low tax rate that billionaires pay just on taxable income. So either way, billionaires pay a much lower percent of taxes than the middle class.

Canadian healthcare[]
Save $1.5 trillion yearly[]
Save $1.5 trillion yearly in the US. Canada spent 11.2 percent of its GDP for total healthcare costs in 2022. US spent 16.6 percent in 2022. 5.4% is the difference. 5.4% of US GDP is $1.5 trillion dollars in 2022. Universal single-payer healthcare savings, and progressive taxation, could pay off the $36 trillion US national debt. Total average healthcare spending per person in 2022: $6,319 for Canada. $12,555 for the US. Yet Canadians have a longer average lifespan. Share link.
Save another couple hundred billion dollars a year by making age 17 the age of adulthood. This saves $15,663 on average in taxes for one year of US high school. Parents save a year of living expenses. Use it all for college and trade schools which is much more useful and desired. Cut taxes further by lowering US incarceration rates to Canadian and Western European levels. See Short PNG image of table below (for sharing on social media). The US can have BETTER healthcare, at a much cheaper cost by cutting out the useless middlemen (insurance companies).

Canada vs US GOP[]
Return to top. Section link. Facts: Recreational and medical cannabis is legal across Canada. Republicans (GOP) block both in US. In Canada the average per-person cost of their single-payer universal healthcare is half that of the US. And Canada has a longer average lifespan. As for the US read a UnitedHealthcare denial horror story, and many more. [31][32]. Stats article: "The company dismissed about one in every three claims in 2023 — the most of any major insurer. That's twice the industry average of 16%". See Wikipedia: Medical debt. It's much higher in the US, though Canada has a lot of dental medical debt. Both the US and Canada do not adequately support dental health. But the Canadian Dental Care Plan is solving that problem now. US Republicans Voted Often to Kill Coverage of Pre-Existing Conditions. [33][34][35]. Republicans want to make Medicaid like UnitedHealthcare.

There are many books uncovering many witnesses to the Roswell crafts, materials, and bodies. A snip from a book review of this book:
| What the Generals Said about Roswell: - "It was a cover story, the balloon part of it ... That was the story we were told to give to the public and the news people, and that was it." Brigadier General Thomas J. DuBose, USAF - "The [Roswell] craft was extraterrestrial, and at one time may have been at Wright-Patterson in an off-limits area." Brigadier General Harry N. Cordes, USAF - "I am almost completely convinced that the object that crashed near Roswell was composed of materials not common on earth." Major General Kenner F. Hertford, USA - "The stuff I saw, I've never seen anyplace else in my life … It was the strangest thing I ever saw." General William H. Blanchard, USAF - "They [the Air Force] knew that they had something new in their hands … The metal and material was unknown to anyone I talked to … A couple of guys thought it might be Russian, but the final consensus was that the pieces were from space." [i.e., extraterrestrial] Brigadier General Arthur E. Exon, USAF - "Stealth technology comes from the Roswell crash … I have been informed by higher officers at the Pentagon that there still exists a Top Secret UFO Project … That's where your Roswell file is." |
