Federal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler refused to take a stand yesterday on a bid by the U.S. to extradite marijuana activist Marc Emery.
"To steal a line from Dickens, I think it was a very artful dodge," said Kirk Tousaw, a campaign manager for Emery's B.C. Marijuana Party.
Tousaw, at a question-and-answer session with Cotler at the 2005 convention of the Canadian Bar Association in Vancouver, asked why Cotler allowed the launch of extradition proceedings against Emery and others who are "being targeted for life prison terms" in the U.S. as part of a "politically motivated prosecution."
