We spotted this old-fashioned, hand-painted wooden sign on New Year's Eve while walking down Broadway, between Ainslie and Argyle.

Three Canadians face extradition to, and life imprisonment in, the United States--but they've never been there! Learn how our government is trying to abduct these political activists for doing something that would earn them a $200 fine--at most--in their own country.

I think this is a joke/piece of "guerilla art." I live in the neighborhood--on Argyle-- and I noticed it for the first time while out for a walk on Christmas Day. I stared at it for several minutes before it registered that there is no phone number, no "information" that would help the "marketed to" avail themselves of the miracle solution...but it DOES address our most American obsessions.
