FAIR PLAY FOR OUR 'PRINCE OF POT'

Canadian pot activist Marc Emery has been ordered extradited to the
United States by Justice Minister Rob Nicholson for selling marijuana
seeds to consenting adults there. It appalls me that our Conservative
government can so readily hand over its law-abiding citizens - on
whose business activity it has happily collected taxes for years - to
a foreign country and penal system. I would bet that the Hell's Angels
are not buying 10-seed packets over the Internet to run their
grow-ops. Our government should be spending my tax dollars and its
energy more wisely, and more importantly protecting its citizens.
