The latest episode of American led "reefer madness" is a good example of the world according to Dubya. A Canadian judge allowed our warring neighbours to orchestrate the arrest of a Canadian citizen on our soil, for a crime we don't give a damn about. Just who runs our justice system? A bunch of Texas rednecks? Since when do we arrange the arrest of a Canadian for offences we deem trivial, to face a lifetime in an alien jail? The Americans are facing self destruction from their right wing agenda and under no circumstances should Canadian authorities co-operate in any way. When does this stop? I have written articles supporting the Palestinians and denouncing the USA that appeared in Al-Qaeda sponsored media. Am I next on their list? Will the RCMP arrest me for calling Bush a moron? Despite Emery being a self-serving egomaniac, most of us in Canada don't give a damn what he does, or how much pot he smokes in a day, allowing a culturally bankrupt nation to set our agenda is preposterous. Marc Emery should be released immediately and the Americans should be reminded they don't own or run Canada. Yet. Robert Saint Amour - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
