Canada vs. Martha

Martha Stewart is a convicted felon. As a result, Canadian law does not permit her to cross the border into our country. Incidientally, she's coming for a pumpkin festival in Windsor.

Of course, being Martha Stewart (capital M, capital S), she takes exception to this.

US government officials will turn away Canadian citizens convicted of summary (not felony) charges, including, drug possession charges, including small amounts of marijuana; underscoring the [pathetic] importance of their drug war.

Just a thought, ounce of weed vs. felony fraud. The lesser of two evils is treated as the greater on a regular basis.

If Martha Stewart crosses the border, it will be one more instance wherein American might flaunts international laws 'cause they feel like it. Because she's a celebrity, because she'll bring money and investment with her, and because she wants to -- she should get a pass? No.

Suck it up Martha, bake an apple pie why don'tcha?
