Refreshing news about someone ANYWHERE doing the right thing these days. I wouldn't be surprised if this judge suffered a inexplicable "heart attack" or a "vechicle brake malfunction" on a curvy BC mountain road sometime soon. Someone of Bush ancestry will surely be spotted in the vicinity around that time enjoying a "hunting trip". I don't know anything more information about this case other than what was provided. But, it sure appears that some true justice was done by our friends to the north. Way to go!

Also, if it wasn't so damn cold in Canada maybe a US invasion / "liberation" would be more likely. They might have some WMD's hangin' around up there. Nope...just hockey sticks. Be careful though, you can really beat the crap oooot of somebody with one of those things.

For real though, thanks for being a good neighbor Canada. More than I can say for our other neighbor.

Great post, s+f.

Canada is just as corrupt. Anyone ever hear of Marc Emery. Our government failed to remember how corrupt the USA judicial system is for that specific scenario. If you are unaware of Marc Emery, I urge you to look him up. It will prove how much of a farce this whole media stunt really is.

FREE MARC EMERY!!

Sorry if this has been mentioned in this post already but I'm in class and don't have time to read through 3 pages. Shame on Canada to use this example to portray themselves as a beacon of good judgement while Marc Emery rots in an American federal prison. Politics is such a slimy game. I hate the hypocrites who "hold our best interests in mind".

Cheers all.

First and foremost, my hat goes off to this judge. He did what most people would think would be the norm. Not these days though, common sense is no longer something we see much of.

And as for Marc Emery, I am surprised that none of the other Canadian members made any mention of this.

Proceedings and guilty plea Federal Detention Center, SeaTac, where Emery resided in 2010. Emery and his two associates, all charged in the United States with drug and money laundering offences, each faced a minimum 10-year sentence and the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted there. On January 14, 2008, Emery had agreed to a tentative plea-bargain with U.S. authorities. The terms of the agreement were a 5-year prison term to be served in both Canadian and U.S. prisons.[126] In return, he demanded the charges against his friends Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams be dropped.[127] (An appeal court judge ruled on March 7, 2008 in a similar case that a one-month jail sentence and probation constituted an adequate sentence for the crime of marijuana seed selling in Canada. This could possibly have been used to Emery's advantage in his fight against extradition.[128]) On March 27, 2008 the plea-bargain deal collapsed because of the refusal of the Canadian Conservative government to approve its side of the arrangement.[129] In late 2008, an extradition hearing was scheduled for June, 2009.[130][131] However, before those hearings Emery agreed to plead guilty to one charge of drug distribution and accept a five-year sentence in the USA.[132][133] On September 21, 2009, Emery entered his guilty plea, and on September 28, he was incarcerated in a British Columbia prison awaiting extradition to a US federal prison to serve the five year sentence.[134][135] There is a 30 day appeal period before extradition. Emery was granted bail on November 18, after seven weeks in the pre-trial centre, to await the Justice Minister's decision on the extradition order.[136][137] While Emery was imprisoned, his supporters held a 24-hour Constant Vigil outside the prison with tents and banners for 45 days, ending when Emery was released on bail.[138][139][140] On September 10, 2010, Emery was sentenced to 5 years in prison minus time served.[141] As of 2011 Emery, Federal Bureau of Prisons #40252-086, is at the D. Ray James Correctional Institution in Folkston, Georgia.[142]

Wikipedia

The tidbit I quoted only relays some of the story. If you read the whole source you will see that his extradition to the USA was nothing more than a witch hunt by the DEA. Looks like the judge that handled Marc's proceedings wasn't as humane as the judge in question in this OP.

Last time that the US tried to annex Canada, the Mohawk Warriors went down to Washington D.C and burned the whole thing to the ground. The White House, Congress everything leveled flat. In fact the whole of D.C. was destroyed. That was the 1813 War. You must have been in the bathroom when your history teacher taught that lesson.

Canada was and still is one of the most heavily armed countries in the world. Canadians own more long guns per capita than any other country, including the US. As an American who has lived in Canada for some time, I must say that I am sometimes amazed when someone says they are a gun collector or a shooter and you go to their house to see what they have and its wicked. Big bore rifles with tripods and starlight scopes, plinkers, 4 different gauges of shotgun and ammo packed to the ceiling. (it's cheaper in bulk, EH!, they'll say : I even know a guy that makes his own).
