Emery, the 47-year-old "Prince of Pot" who faces potential extradition to the United States for selling marijuana seeds, has compared the persecution of people involved in marijuana culture to that experienced by Jews under the Nazi regime. In a "jail blog" he wrote from a Saskatoon jail last summer he called Cotler a "Nazi-Jew." In an interview last week, he reiterated he thought Cotler was acting like a Nazi. - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
