Marc Emery will be flown to Detroit Tuesday afternoon and enter Canada the same day according to Jodie Emery, who is making plans to receive her husband five years after he entered a U.S. prison.

Emery is scheduled to be welcomed to Canada by his friends and supporters at the Windsor City Hall Plaza before flying to Toronto.

He is scheduled to fly back to Vancouver Sunday, Aug. 17, where a party is being planned.

The 56-year-old Vancouver resident has vowed political revenge against the Conservative government, who he blames for his incarceration, and says he plans to campaign against them in next year’s general election.
