Well done RCMP and Montreal PD!
One of the FBI's 10 most wanted was arrested in Montreal this week.
Richard Steve Goldberg.....child molester and child pornographer is to be extradited back to the US to face charges.

i'm just glad they're sending him back. i really hate it when the Canadian gov't gets involved in preventing criminals from beign extradited, especially with murders who may face the death penalty in the US. makes us look quite bad IMO

Well, RCMP and the police might have arrested him but it was a tipster that gave the info so they could actually arrest him.

I wish someone with a $100,000 bounty on his head would walk up to me and say that he was a convict on the run from the law. (So long as they were unarmed)

whether you agree with it or not, the death penalty is part of the United States law. i don't think that Canada should have the right to interfere with a foreign government's judicial system regardless of moral objections. if a crime involved a Canadian citizen or happened on Canadian soil, then it would be different. but if it's a US citizen commiting a crime on US soil, the only Canadian involvement should always be a quick extradition
i just don't like Canada having the appearance as a safe haven for murderers to escape punishment

So what if the US were known to torture "criminals" mercilessly? Would it be right to quickly extradite them in that case? Where do you draw the line? Is there a line?

Good point on torture.
My first thought was Singapore. What if the crime was selling marijuana? What if it was a peaceful Tibetan monk who has been preaching independance for his country - do you send him back to China? Or do we not "have the right to interfere with a foreign government's judicial system regardless of moral objections"?

The USA doesn't share your opinion as they've charged a Canadian citizen for American alleged crimes comitted in Canada. What he did was legal and even encouraged in Canada. I've posted a link in the M. Moore thread.
