He will be there for a few weeks more and then shipped to the US.

On the 20th of April, at 4:20 in the afternoon, a cloud of marijuana smoke rose from the lawn of Parliament Hill, hovered and built for a few moments, then rolled lazily down Wellington Street. No deaths, property damage, or injuries were reported, and the resulting carnage was confined to pizza and sausages – purchased at food establishments on nearby streets shortly afterward.

The annual event which played out under the watch of RCMP and Ottawa Police saw no arrests made. This is not to say however that police don’t enforce marijuana laws in other places, or that lives aren’t ruined at the whim of law enforcement at other times. What it does say, is that the enforcement of law has become arbitrary.

Our nation and culture stand on the “rule of law”, and even the textbooks in our schools explain that when a law becomes unenforceable or society’s values change, then the law must change.

Sadly, given our Justice and Safety Ministers’ views of Charter Rights, and their blustering compatriots’ support for unequal and arbitrary application of the law, it is more likely that we will see the textbooks change.

Yours,

Bill C-15: Mandatory Minimum Sentences for Cannabis Offences

Cannabis Facts for Canadians
http://www.CannabisFacts.ca
Essential information for an informed debate on cannabis policy.

But we are headed slowly and slowly into a police state. And for those that care to know, the liberals may have passed bill C-15 on the floor but they are currently blocking this in the senate. Now you have the real reason why Harper is stacking the senate. So he can pass this law and many others without any difficulty, thereby pushing us more and more into that police state. And to those that claim that he will abolish senate, well, I think once he has it stacked in his favor, he will either push all laws through that he wants so as to screw the rest of Canada, before abolishing senate. Or, he will not abolish it and continue on his power grab.

In any case, again, I feel for Marc Emery and his family and what they have to go through, and I really hope Harper and his cronies eventually get their just desserts for turning their backs on one hell of a fine, Canadian Citizen!

Who was whining that Ignatieff is American? Just look at the stance and policies that Harper is adopting. There couldn’t be anything more Un-Canadian, than Harper is right now!

People don’t know how to even go about showing their feelings about this as a culture; they don’t know how to use their vote and how important it is.

It’s not the cause sometimes it’s the process and if we allow things to be steam rollered then they will.

If we do not learn the lessons from the past they are doomed to be repeated.

I am an American ready to make a change when it comes to the failed Drug War.

Last time I checked, I haven’t seen the USA extradite anyone from this country, or any other country for that matter, for sale of seeds. In fact, the responsibility should be borne upon the buyer that was caught ordering the seeds if it is so illegal in that country.

Fact is, Marc did nothing upon the territory of the USA. Also he happens to be the leader of a registered political party. So I just view this as Harper using this advantage to get rid of another political adversary. Especially on such a touchy subject to the Conservatives.

And what does it look like to other country’s leader’s when our government does actions like this towards Marc, and other selected citizens of our country? First off it sets a precedent as far as I’m concerned that our leader will give away any of our citizens to other country’s at the drop of a hat. Second, why should other country’s care about any of our requests when they see that we do not follow our own policies and constitution?

In any case, a great injustice has been done to one of our Fair Citizens for mainly political gain to the parties involved. I hope the government gets held to task for this in the future, for truly being one of the most secretive, and one of the most dangerous governments to our fair society. We are headed into a police state, I keep stating that on many threads. Everyone be warned.

But when have we ever known some block head in Ottawa to do anything correctly?

I mean Legalizing it would not stamp out underground sales.. Because once it reaches the shelves the $10.00 Gram becomes 25.00 LOL Look at Bud Light Lime, $15.00 In the US for a 18 pack. $13.50 here for a Six Pack.
