Marc Emery Stop-Extradition Petitions tabled by MPs from three parties

Members of Parliament from three parties -- Conservative, Liberal, and New Democrat -- tabled petitions with thousands of signatures seeking to stop the extradition to the U.S. of online marijuana seed seller, Marc Emery.
---
House of Commons - Monday, March 15, 2010

The three MP's who displayed personal integrity by presenting the petitions are:

* Ontario Conservative MP Scott Reid of Ontario
* Vancouver South Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh
* Vancouver East NDP MP Libby Davies

These MP's deserve our admiration for standing up for an issue of national sovereignty and disproportionate punishment when so many others look the other way.

So did Emery get extradited? What has happen to him? Where is he now?

[CannabisFactsForCdns]

@FXThug It's still in the hands of Rob Nicholson, Justice minister. He is able to sign it whenever he decides to. He hasn't yet.

The old *the U.S. won't let us* argument may once have had some legitimacy, but with more and more U.S. states reforming their cannabis laws, and with Obama as President, it's a very different picture than the one we were looking at under the 8 years of bush!

Attention!! Before anyone else insults Mike Wallace!

The person who made this video should fix his description to include this.

I personally sent a message to Marc Wallace insulting him for this video.

He was laughing because the first man to speak, was actually against the cause but you still have to show the petitions, even if you dont like the cause.

So the man was laughing out of humor, not at your cause. Target Harper, he's the stupid one.

I'm happy to add some clarification for why Wallace laughed. Can you explain what the reason was in more detail? So far, I don't understand.

[marineuC]

The reason he was laughing, was because the first person was anti-marijuana.

He was against the petition but it's their duty to display them.

He found humor in it because the guy had just spoken to him about how he has to present the petitions to a cause he is against..

I could see myself laughing in the same position.

[CannabisFactsForCdns]

@marineuC Thank you for posting an equally vague explanation. Who is "the first person"? Who was the "he" who was against the petition.

[PaperKutZ]

That is MP Mike Wallace (Conservative - Burlington) chortling in the background. No Class!

[JodieEmery]

@dbts808 Good thing Canada sent Marc to the USA to be tried & imprisoned. He's learning the hard way what a fuckin' dildo he is. Hes getting fucked in the ass every night by hardened killers & thugs.

@CannabisFactsForCdns You REAlly think Obama is anything but a puppet...? Same as the puppet before him... and the one before that.... Pah lease !!

[dbts808]

I ran for the BCMP. As a high school teacher, I was taking a risk but the Surrey School Board didn`t fire me.

Marc Emery is in jail because he organized a successful heckling of then American Drug Czar John P.Walters. Walters was humiliated and wanted Emery badly. Now the U.S has told Canada to forget our silly ideas about decriminalization and they even want Canada to turn into a prison state like the U.S.

Canadians are a spineless lot when they have to stand up to the U.S.

Shame on Canada!

For those who don't know Marc Emery has been serving time in US, he did get extradited to the US, go to cannabis culture, or google him its not to hard to find information about him. Sad sad times we live in!

[theking1175]

Mike wallace is a complete jack ass, who has no class. He needs to open his eyes and realize that canada shouldn't but the US' bitch and that we should stand up for ourselves once in a while. in my eyes, he is not a suitable MP.

[martinhiebert]

@FXThug Marc has been extradited and now serving 5 years in prison in California

[sweetbeat7]

....6 months later on can i ask the same question?? Where is he now?

[luciphernow]

I'd like to smack the ignorant pig laughing in the background.
