While U.S. hits hard with Hollywood-style ads, Canada takes a rudimentary approachElderly Ontario woman extradited to U.S. on decades-old pot charge
National PostU.S. Customs and Border Protection say Homenella Cole advised border officers at the Lewiston-Queenston border crossing Monday that she was inadmissible to the U.S. because of previous criminal convictions in Canada.
"She said she wanted a waiver to enter the U.S., which is not uncommon," said CBP spokesman Kevin Corsaro.
A routine criminal record check revealed that Cole was the subject of active felony warrant issued on April 1, 1980 by the New York City Police Department.

MARC EMERY IS A MODERN THOMAS JEFFERSON
BY ELLIS WORTHINGTON - www.CannabisCulture.comAmerica's Prison Spree Has Brutal Impact
by Stuart Taylor Jr.
Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009
The November 9 Supreme Court arguments on whether it is cruel and unusual to impose life in prison without parole on violent juveniles who have not killed anybody understandably got prominent media coverage.
But a far more important imprisonment story gets less attention because it's a running sore that rarely generates dramatic "news." That is our criminal-justice system's incarceration of a staggering 2.3 million people, about half of them for nonviolent crimes, including most of the 500,000 locked up for drug offenses.
Help Free Marc Emery
1) Contact the Justice Minister of Canada, Rob Nicholson, to tell him that you are a voter and you want him to refuse the extradition order for Marc Emery. You must insist that the message be delivered directly to the Justice Minister, and ask for a response too!
