UP IN SMOKE read the headline in the Vancouver Province Newspaper today,Friday,May 21,2010.Court strikes down program that allowed fire officials to enter homes without warrants to shut down grow ops,but Surrey mayor vows to press on.That's Surrey mayor Dianne Watts,who I have had cause to mention innumerable times for her spirited pursuit of anyone that doesn't look like someone she'd invite in for tea.Unfortunately this news comes on the same day that we hear of the extradition of Marc Emery to the US by the DEA.The complainant in the hydro case turned out to be a member of the Hells Angels,the BC civil liberties union,who were part of the court case said they had no idea the man was an associate of the Angels but that it made no difference as every person in BC had the right to the privacy of their own home.Right on BCCLUand FREE MARC EMERY.
