Ronald Smith must not be allowed to return to Canada.  As a Canadian, I am totally appalled at the thought that he could be released from Montana Death Row and sent back home, where he would be paroled in a few years without question. There is a precedent for this which people are forgetting about. When George W. Bush was Governor of Texas, a Canadian named Stanley Faulder was on Death Row in Huntsville.  Numerous attempts to have him sent home to Canada were rejected, and Faulder was executed.  What gives Smith special rights?  Montana law must be upheld.  Releasing him would be an outrage and an insult to the family and friends of the victims he so ruthlessley murdered.
