BLATANT AFFRONT TO CANADIAN SOVEREIGNTY
The same day as law enforcement in London and Rome were bringing
actual terror suspects into custody, Canadian officers were busting
Marc Emery, the marijuana seed dealer.
To hear the smug U.S. law-enforcement officials Jeff Sullivan and
Rodney Benson talk, you'd think they caught Pablo Escobar, or Osama
bin Laden. But no, they just caught someone who was openly,
fearlessly trying to end this drug war and get laws changed by
selling seeds from his store and website. Since when do the U.S. get
to come up here and tell our officers who to arrest? No person in
this country should tolerate such a blatant affront to Canadian
sovereignty on the part of the U.S.
