The Liberals decriminalized weed because they realized that there were wayyyy too many people out there that couldn't get a real job because they had a criminal record for simple possession. Under the Libs, what Emery did was no big deal, a fineable offence at most. But I think it's total bullshit that a simple change of gov't, and a minority gov't at that, and presto-chango, Emery is a criminal.
According to this article Emery was first arrested in 2005. Guess who was PM in 2005?
Yep, and guess when he was FINALLY taken into custody, IN CANADA..Sept. 28, 2009
And actually, Emery has been arrested several times over the years, was never criminally charged, but usually fined and had his seeds and paraphenalia confiscated.
Oh and curiously enough, from 1998 to his arrest in 2005, Emery paid provincial and federal taxes as a "marijuana seed vendor" totalling nearly $600,000.
And finally read this carefully mmmk?
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.
On March 27, 2008 his plea-bargain deal collapsed because of the refusal of the Canadian Conservative government to approve its side of the arrangementAccording to the info I've read and I'm sure you've seen it to, he's been a target of law enforcement and arrest since the 90's. So to try and make this a Conservative issue is dishonest.
