Cannabis reformer Philippe Lucas elected to Victoria BC council

Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 4:28 pm | By: Radical Russ

Fortin elected Victoria mayor
Victoria Coun. Dean Fortin fended off a tough challenge from businessman and rookie politician Rob Reid last night to become the city’s new mayor.

Fortin was leading by about 600 votes with 14 of 15 polls counted; he also has strong support at a new left-leaning council table.

Voters returned every candidate on the “Dean Team,” including incumbent councillors Pam Madoff and Sonya Chandler, as well as newcomers Lynn Hunter, John Luton and Philippe Lucas. Hunter is a former NDP MP, Luton is a cycling activist, and Lucas, like Chandler, is a member of the civic Green party.

Philippe is also a frequent guest on the Daily Audio Stash.  Check out our interviews from July and April when we discussed his work with the Vancouver Island Compassion Society.  He’s been my go-to guy on the subject of medical cannabis in Canada.  It’s nice to see drug law reformers working to enact change from inside the system!
