CANADA TAKES BATH

Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, recently kicked the U.S. Drug 
Enforcement Agency out of Venezuela, saying "the DEA's war on drugs has 
nothing to do with actually shutting down the business, but is rather part 
of a strategy of political intervention in Latin American affairs."

It is clear that the DEA vendetta regarding Marc Emery is also a political 
intervention.

If Venezuelans can have a government that looks after their sovereignty - 
why don't we in Canada deserve the same?

Why are we in Canada stuck with politicians who so much enjoy the flavour 
of George Bush's bathwater?
