DEA ACTION AGAINST EMERY A POLITICAL INTERVENTION
Re: "Canada needs to clarify wishy-washy pot law" (B.C. Views, Aug. 10).
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 bath water?
