GROW OPS SEIZED

Re: "Razing houses," Letter, Nov. 21.

I agree with Christopher Bennett that the Canadian government should
be outraged regarding Israel's bulldozing of the family homes of
Palestinian criminals who murdered their citizens, leaving the
innocent occupants without shelter. I see no difference in Canada
where the homes of convicted marijuana grow operators are seized by
provincial governments under the pretext of financing law enforcement,
leaving the innocent occupants and children without shelter. Here,
also, we endorse a policy where the sins of one family member are
carried by all of the family. In Israel, murder carries this
punishment; in Canada, the growing of marijuana has the same result.
Where is the outrage here?
