If anyone is interested CKNW 980 AM is having him on in 5 minutes. 8:05 pdt. You can go to Here if you want to listen. Right corner and click "listen live". The host on now is the less neoconish compared to the rest.

Hmmm...if the US can extradite Emery for mailing a few seeds...Shouldn't the Canadian government be able to extradite Bush for trade violations?

We could push for the extradition of that homohobic preacher and his followers who encourage violence against gays and lesbians. Carrying signs that say things like "Kill fags," is pretty clearly hate speach.

That'd get Bush's ass in a sling with his core supporters.

Why go that far, you can have the owners of US bookstores arrested that ship banned books into Canada. I don't know if its a felony, but hey it's a start.

That would make those hate speech law supporters happy.... (If they actually can be happy)

Jay, encouraging that people be murdered because of their sexual orientation is not free speech. It is inciting violence against others...not a lot different than carrying out the violence personally.

The point being you don't need such laws when you have laws to cover the issue already.

I know we don't agree on the topic, unless it is to agree to disagree.

No, the point is that if the US can require us to enforce their laws, then we should be able to do the same. If they can require the arrest and extradition of Marc Emery, then we should be able to indict Americans for violation of our hate laws, our gun laws, our environmental laws, or any other laws.

Of coarse that wasn't my point...


Well, it seems our government agrees with the US position on this. Conspiracy to cultivate.

an idle consideration:

Why doesn't the "govt " aka organization with criminal tendancies......... simply bite the bullet, and legalize recreational drugs the way it has Alcohol . and cigarettes for that matter. Why "fight" it when "joining " it might prove to be a better approach, and heck......by taxing it , the govt 's fiscal position would improve tremendously. (more funds available for getting drug users off the streets and into shelters ........as well as more funds for better rehab programs , for those that chose them. )

seems the powers that be , miss an important psychological element in all this. The more difficult they make to obtain something..........the more a people's will want it. Human nature. A little reverse psychology might change the paradigm.

A good reason to keep things just the way they are..... because they could then tax it.

Yeah Jay, because the government also tells you that books with pictures depicting homosexuals f*cking is hate.

:lol:

I don't pander to government BS anyways...I leave that up to the socialists....

The government deported a man from this country to serve 5 years in another draconian state because he didn't agree with a particular version of history....just the way the socialists like it.

Quit trolling, ITN. Either join the conversation or STFU.

Well, it seems our government agrees with the US position on this. Conspiracy to cultivate.

Our government didn't press charges. Our government collected taxes from Emery for several years even though they knew exactly what he was up to.

Ocean Breeze, the LeDain Commission recommended that back in 1970.

This whole thing is politically motivated anyway. This is what Karen Tandy of the DEA said,
Today's arrest of Mark (sic) Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement,
and

Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on.

They didn't bust Emery because he was selling seeds, they busted him for promoting the lagalisation of marijuana.

A criminal is a criminal is a criminal, regardless of country.

That's not exactly true though, is it? The Canadian government chose not to charge Emery, so obviously they don't feel that he has committed a criminal act (in this case) in Canada.

Canadians on Canadian soil should not be subject to US laws. We are a sovereign nation.
