Elijah Paull, Montreal Gazette
Canadian pot activist Marc Emery has been ordered extradited to the United States by Justice Minister Rob Nicholson for selling marijuana seeds to consenting adults there. It appalls me that our Conservative government can so readily hand over its law-abiding citizens – on whose business activity it has happily collected taxes for years – to a foreign country and penal system. I would bet that the Hell’s Angels are not buying 10-seed packets over the Internet to run their grow-ops. Our government should be spending my tax dollars and its energy more wisely, and more importantly protecting its citizens.
