They should thank the gods that they were not caught with their poison in the u.s. of a; they would not be given anywhere near the leniancy shown that they take for granted in good old Canada. The law should be swift and harsh for crimes involving hard drugs, and no mercy. These two jagoffs are contributing to the decay of our society by transporting the poison for the filth that distribute it. I am sure they were promised a large sum of cash for their deed, and they were stupid enough to go through with it. They should be 'forced' to tell the cops who they are smuggling for, and help to catch them too.
