CANADA MUST REFUSE EXTRADITION

'Prince of Pot' operates freely here, so why send him to a U.S. jail?

Re: " 'Prince of Pot' arrested: Marijuana seed business raided at U.S. 
request," The Journal, July 30.

I oppose the extradition of any Canadian national to a foreign country when 
their actions are not considered a serious crime in Canada.

Marc Emery has operated openly, without interference from Canadian police, 
since 1998.

Canada should not be sending our citizens to jail in foreign countries, 
especially when their actions are not even considered to be an "arrestable 
offence" in Canada.
