Boy... have I got a wedge issue...

...for Steffi to champion when Parliament gets off the ground...
-- VANCOUVER -- Two British Columbians serving time for drug offences in the U.S. have filed a lawsuit against Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day for blocking their transfers to Canadian prisons.

Mr. Czinege and Ms. Lam also claim their constitutional rights have been violated and that there should be an immediate order for their return to Canada.

Mr. Czinege was convicted in January 2007 after he was caught trying to smuggle 110 kilograms of cocaine from Washington to Canada inside a truck's fuel tanks.

Ms. Lam is serving a seven-year jail sentence after she was caught with 1,000 ecstasy pills at the Seattle airport.

They are also seeking to have their legal fees reimbursed.
C'mon... they're at least as deserving as this guy.
