A Canadian newspaper, The National Post, which covered the story, said it was the first time a Canadian court has sided with an American deserter.

Ummmm . . . . . anyone remember Vietnam and Jimmuh Cahter?? Canada had no issues then about accepting and protecting American deserters and draft dodgers. The precedent was set long ago, this ain't new.

Ford also offered a clean slate to draft evaders and deserters, requiring 2 years of public service and a pledge of allegiance. No criminal blot on their records. Jimmy made it easier.
