BLATANT AFFRONT TO CANADIAN SOVEREIGNTY

The same day as law enforcement in London and Rome were bringing 
actual terror suspects into custody, Canadian officers were busting 
Marc Emery, the marijuana seed dealer.

To hear the smug U.S. law-enforcement officials Jeff Sullivan and 
Rodney Benson talk, you'd think they caught Pablo Escobar, or Osama 
bin Laden. But no, they just caught someone who was openly, 
fearlessly trying to end this drug war and get laws changed by 
selling seeds from his store and website. Since when do the U.S. get 
to come up here and tell our officers who to arrest? No person in 
this country should tolerate such a blatant affront to Canadian 
sovereignty on the part of the U.S.
