Woman jailed in Mexico doubts Canadian political efforts

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA — A Canadian woman imprisoned in a Mexican jail says a visit by a pair of Conservative MPs was nothing more than a “dog-and-pony show.”

A tearful Brenda Martin says she thinks Tory MPs Jason Kenney and Rick Norlock met with her for political gain now that her case is garnering more media attention.

But she says she's not optimistic she'll be freed and begged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to “save my life.”

Mr. Kenney and Mr. Norlock met this week with senior officials at the Mexican attorney general's office, the foreign ministry and the prison to discuss the woman's plight.

If Harper wants to act on this he will call Washington and call in some of his chits!
