Anyone who is looking at the question of Extradition between the U.S and Canada is no doubt aware of Dr. Gary Bottling’s book, ‘Extradition Between Canada and the United States’, Ardsley, N.Y.: Transnational Publishers, Inc. 2005. The question of Extradition has been a botch up since 1975, and reflects the “harmonization” or rather subordination of Canadian Laws and human rights to American justice system. A travesty to Canadian human rights. What disgusts me is the complicity of the current Canadian Government under Prime Minister Harper and that governments treatment of Omar Kahdr. I also think that the Marc Emery case reflects the surrender of Canadian justice to the U.S. system. As an aside I wonder why the DEA has any jurisdiction in Canada and is allowed to have offices in Vancouver and Toronto? The interference by the U.S. in Canadian parliamentary procedure during Chretien’s term which stopped the Bill to Legalize Marijuana was also employed on the Mexican government. The war against drugs is lost just like the Iraq and Afghan wars.

There was no defense put forward!
This is hardly a watershed case.
The lawyer knows whether the case would have succeeded or not and it wouldn’t have. There is nothing here but the 10 years and hopefully out in 5.
Grab it – it ain’t gonna get better.

I and many other Americans are working on bringing this issue to the attention of our fellow Americans as Mr. Emery’s story has not received nearly as much press here as it has in Canada.

Thus far, the Seattle Post Intelligencer is the only US publication that reported DEA administrator Karen Tandy’s statements about Mr. Emery’s arrest delivering a significant blow to the drug policy reform movement here in the US.

It is one thing for the DEA to exercise its duty to enforce US drug policy, but it is quite another for the DEA to attempt to hinder a political movement while doing so — and to admit it publicly, no less!
