Irwin Cotler has an excellent opinion piece in the Ottawa Citizen today in which he asks the important question:Given Stephen Harper's recent decision that Canada will not seek clemency for Canadians sentenced to death in the United States, and the law that requires us not to extradite US citizens who might face the death penalty in the United States, whence the double-standard?Why do Americans in Canada facing death in the US deserve the full protection of our law, but Canadians facing death in the US do not deserve even a diplomatic clemency request?
