Open Letter To Irwin Cotler Minister Of Justice, Re: John Graham Extradition Hea

This case, more than any, exemplifies not only the seditious manner in which our courts are treating Canadian citizens but marks the end of what once was Canada’s role in world affairs as an independent and sovereign nation.

For your government to have foresworn its duty to Canada and to its citizens by signing the present Extradition Act and thus giving up the right and the ability to protect Canadian citizens from the incursions of other nations is nothing short of an act of treason!

To allow the United States of America, a nation both foreign and hostile to the well-being of the global community at large, the right to extradite a Canadian citizen to its violent and unjust environs based upon extremely suspect hearsay evidence is a grievous slight to one’s sense of justice.

Were it that alone it would still be unbearable, but there is more.

On top of succumbing to the U.S.’s strident and abhorrent practice of disregarding international law, you are, as well, aiding and abetting the interests of a foreign nation over and above the general welfare of your own citizenry who you are sworn to protect. I am of course referring to the fact that our justice system is being perverted and pimped into not only abiding by an Extradition Act that disallows any qualified defense of Canadian citizens, but also supplies Canadian judges and prosecutors to the Americans to assist them in this obviously foul judicial swindle.

A truly sovereign and democratic nation would never sacrifice its own citizens to an alien country, especially one that has proven itself to be as unprincipled and hostile as the United States of America. Instead, the obvious course of action for you and the justice department, as the supreme protector of Canada’s citizens, ought to have been one in which you sprang wholeheartedly to the defense of John Graham and offered him the protection and the legal advice that he, as a Canadian citizen, rightfully deserves.

By all appearances, Mr. Cotler, you are setting a most insidious and dangerous precedent in aligning the Canadian justice system in such an underhanded and complicit manner with that of the U.S.A. As a Canadian who is urgently concerned about human rights and fair and equal treatment of all our citizenry before Canadian law, I find your government’s actions to be steeped in subterfuge to the detriment of our country.

Please see to it that you use your position as federal Attorney-General for Canada in a manner befitting our nation. Stop this unjust extradition of John Graham and tell the FBI and the U.S.A. to find another scapegoat for their lies outside of Canada.
