Your point? There is no GST collected on international orders. That is up to the receiving country to collect.
Yuuuuuuup
And yet the seed store is still running.....

Bottom line is if the sales were kept domestic he would not have been arrested. Seems like he took a gamble and lost and now he's whining about it. Seems to be crocodile tears to even be applying for a transfer.
So he's in jail because he couldn't resist making a sale he should have known would cause him rael problems, I hope he fired his old lawyer, or is that who's minding the store since the arrest?
He's not running it. All it takes is a bill of sale and it's no longer in his hands.
This is done all the time in business. Why are you so surprised?

There are plenty of seed sellers in the US. The DEA targeted Emery because of his politics. Do you feel that someone should be arrested and put in prison for their political beliefs?
It's not a crime in Canada to sell seeds.
Sale? Sell? Just say no Meg. lol
Do you mean the gamble of selling to DEA agents and making it big?
Are you on some medication or under the care of a physician?
Cause US jails are fun.
You should at least read the story about how he was busted so that you can at least say you know what you're talking about.
Let's be clear. Emery was arrested for shipping a substance which is legal in Canada, but illegal in the US. Emery broke US law while in Canada. He did not break a Canadian law while in the US or a Canadian law while in Canada.
So which laws do you believe apply to Canadians living in Canada? Sounds like you believe US laws also apply in Canada. If so, do you believe all countries should be able to impose their laws on Canadians in Canada?
Wine is a legal substance in Canada, but an illegal substance in Saudi Arabia. Again, would you expect the Canadian government to extradite a Canadian vintner to Saudi Arabia for shipping a case of wine to Saudi Arabia? The vintner would be breaking a Saudi law while in Canada. That would be similar to the situation facing Emery, who broke US law while in Canada.
Do Saudi laws also apply in Canada like American ones?
Also, extradition has limits in Canada. Canada can refuse to extradite someone if their punishment in the other country differs significantly from what they would face in Canada for committing the same crime. Since marijuana seeds are technically legal in Canada and possession is a 10 year minimum jail sentence in the US, Canada is not obligated to extradite Mr. Emery to the US.
If a woman is guilty of adultery in Saudi Arabia, she faces the death penalty. Should Saudi law like American law also prevail over Canadian law? Should Canada arrest women who commit adultery in Canada for extradition to Saudi Arabia?
My point is that only Canadian law applies in Canada. Unlike Harper, I'm not willing to cede Canadian sovereignty to the US.

If anyone can still buy seeds from the orginal Emery list posted or one of hundreds of other Canadian seed companies then Emery should never have been extradited on the grounds claimed by the DEA and courts in Seattle.
Bull****, he was promoting that he had the right to sell to the US when it was illegal, there is no grandfather clause, how may US citizens were released when it became legal to sell seeds? Not a ****ing one. If he had waited would he have been arrested.
Never said it was, you could even sell to an Amnerican if he was the legal age and on Canadian soil. Those parameters were adjusted and they should have been paid attention to rather than being disregarded.
Did he have his own grow op in order to have seeds for sale?
I realize talking to you is a sign of stupidity but in this case .....
Gets to chat with other pot dealers and light up a joint at the same time.
This is what I have been talking about, in the US it is called trafficking, that is why smuggling exists, that is why the black market exists.
"Vancouver resident Marc Emery was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty in the U.S. on May 24 for selling marijuana seeds online to Americans."
The sale or transactions were all in Canada not USA. It's illegal to receive seeds in the US not to ship them there.
That time-stamp on when it became legal is there for a reason. Not all changes to a law come with a grandfather clause, a 10 years long and expensive appeal might get that changed but by then anybody would probably already be out if it was just a selling seed (a few) charge.
Which is it with this guy, was it a political statement or a financial endeavor? It would seem that legal changes were sought that would enhanse his ability to make a larger financial gain that he was already making with the current market available to him.
What grandfather clause? All seed companies were and have been functioning along side of Emery's venture and not a single one was closed or hassled in any way shape or form.
That might a fine line if no money was exchanging hands. He was knowingly helping an American do something that was illegal. Are you saying a person in Mexico that helps somebody pack a bag full of coke would not be considered to be a smuggler?
Packing a bag of coke is apparently legal if you are an agent of the US govt. Should Emery have joined the NSA to get a pass?
They all were and still are shipping seeds to the US, just as he was?
That would certainly change things, it would indicate he should have stayed out of the spotlight with those fat joints (he should have been made to smoke every bit of everyone he lit up BTW)
Apparently 'they' don't like competition, isn't that the first rule of any business, know your competition.
