Marc Emery can hardly be blamed for taking steps to try and reduce the amount of time he may have to spend in prison. However this entire situation is a travesty. How is it possible that a foreign country can impede upon our sovereignty in such a way. A bigger travesty is that our government, who were placed into power to serve the interests of Canadians, would willingly, even eagerly participate in this debacle.
But what are we, as citizens of this country supposed to do about this. Time and again I have heard, and read about steps that we should take to make our voices heard. Letter writing campaigns to our MP’s; letters to the editors of newspapers, magazines and online forums; petitions. All this has been done time and again for decades. All has amounting to nothing. Our elected officials care nothing about what the majority of citizens in this country want. They only care to cater to the demands of big business, foreign governments and their own self serving interests. What are we supposed to do?
