Default CAN: Globe And Mail Sympathizes with The "Prince of Pot"

Globe And Mail Sympathizes with The "Prince of Pot"
Arthur Weinreb | Canada Free Press | 08/02/2005

Under the guise of a news article, the Globe and Mail published an article by Peter Kennedy entitled, "Pot activist is scared his fiancée says". The article dealt with the arrest last Friday of the head of the B.C. Marijuana Party, Marc Emery. Emery was arrested in Halifax last week at the request of U.S. authorities, a request that was signed by a justice of the B.C. Supreme Court. The 47-year-old activist has been indicted by an American grand jury on charges of conspiracy to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to engage in money laundering. These allegations stem from Emery’s operation of an Internet business, Emery Seeds, which sold and distributed marijuana seeds.

The Globe and Mail wasted no time in showing its sympathies towards "The Prince of Pot". The reporter interviewed Emery’s fiancée who said that she was "terrified" and Emery was "scared". In an attempt to obtain sympathy for the alleged drug distributor, the Globe piece used such phrases as "the couple’s [Emery and his fiancée] lives have been turned upside down" and reported the heartbreaking news that "he [Emery] will no longer be able to afford to leave payments on his Ford Thunderbird…"

The only person interviewed for the article besides Cheryl Redick, Emery’s fiancée, was Neil Boyd, a criminologist at Simon Fraser University. According to Boyd this is all the fault of the United States, which is simply out of step with Canada and Europe when it comes to acceptance of marijuana. Boyd classified the U.S. request for extradition as "a breach of our sovereignty".

No interviews were done with U.S. or Canadian drug authorities, nor was the position of the Americans as to why they want Emery extradited to face charges put forward.

This was nothing more than an anti-U.S., pro marijuana editorial that purported to be a hard news story.

And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"

Ok, I think i got this figured out now. This is an article about an article. I think.

So Arthur Weinreb wrote this. This man is a liar then because of mis quoting people. Who would have guessed a man who writes for FOX news be on the side of the government.

Who did he misquote? All the quotes in this article were in yesterday's article in The Globe and Mail, except the Boyd quote. Boyd said "For us to send Mr. Emery to the U.S. to face what might be life imprisonment would seem to me to be ceding a certain amount of our sovereignty" which means essentially the same thing as "a breach of our sovereignty".

Like U.S. or Canadian drug authorities ever have any valuable (non-lie) opinions.
And the U.S. position is fairly clear-- They want cannabis prohibition to be maintained, and as part of the upkeep certain people must have their lives destroyed.

Of course it is the USA's fault.

Now, if the US would have proposed a treaty with Canada, and Canada agreed and signed the treaty, then it wouldn't be just the USA's fault, would it?

Wait a minute...
