et tu, Canada?

Even my favorite country has let me down.

The Canadian pigs, at the request of the US pigs, walked into a Canadian hospital, took this guy (and his catheter) off his gurney, cuffed him, and drove him to his country of origin, the good old U.S. Once the US pigs got him, they decided that he needed to go dorectly to jail, do not pass a hospital, do not collect medical treatment. Fortunately for him, the judge ruled he could get treatment while he awaited prosecution. Even more fortunate for the fighters in the war against drugs, the jail officials figured out some way to ignore the judge's ruling. Here are the highlights from the article:


SEATTLE - An Army veteran who fled to Canada to avoid prosecution for growing marijuana to treat his chronic pain was yanked from a hospital by Canadian authorities, driven to the border with a catheter still attached, and turned over to U.S. officials, his lawyer says.
He then went five days with no medical treatment and only ibuprofen for the pain, attorney Douglas Hiatt said. Steven W. Tuck, 38, was still fitted with the urinary catheter when he shuffled into federal court for a detention hearing Wednesday, Hiatt said. Tuck suffered debilitating injuries in the 1980s when his parachute failed to open during a jump, and those injuries were exacerbated by a car crash in 1990, Hiatt said. He said Tuck was using marijuana to treat his chronic pain. Though Tuck has taken morphine — as prescribed by doctors — for about 16 years to help with his pain, he was given no painkiller or treatment at the jail other than ibuprofen, Hiatt said. Tuck appeared emaciated in court, and Hiatt said he had been sick from morphine withdrawal. The Supreme Court ruled in June that people who smoke marijuana because their doctors recommend it to ease pain can be prosecuted for violating federal drug laws, even in states like California that have laws permitting medical marijuana use.
