The arrest of Marc Emery for selling marijuana seeds, by mail, to an American is an affront to Canadian sovereignty. Call it the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act or what you will but the reality is that a Canadian citizen has been arrested, on Canadian soil, for an act deemed illegal only on American soil. If this arrest is not overturned, we may as well close down our Parliament and let the Americans write our laws. Marc A. Noiseux, Sudbury, Ont. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
