Quote:
"My hearing isnâ??t going to start on time on May 28. Theyâ??re going to change my dates because of other cases that they think are more important â?? murder trials and such. Itâ??s been two years already. Itâ??s easy to bump me because my case is unpopular in Canada. They know that the public isnâ??t behind this. But I donâ??t get a trial in Canada and the U.S. doesnâ??t know what itâ??s in for; theyâ??ve never tried to prosecute anyone that Canadians really care about. The United States is oblivious. Theyâ??re used to getting everything they want and theyâ??re gonna get YOU! This is a government that would give up its own people.
No one wants to encourage me to give myself up to a U.S. prison for 10 or 15 years as a martyr, because they donâ??t want to be responsible for any crazy decision I make..."
