(Canadian) MPs want protection for American war resisters
Globe and Mail ^ | January 22, 2009 | Canadian Press

Five American war resisters who face the threat of serious jail time if they're deported within the next two weeks should be given a "refuge from militarism" that would keep their families together and respect their opposition to the Iraq war, Liberal and New Democratic MPs said yesterday.

I thought the whole world's opinion of America and its works had magically changed to love and respect two days ago.

Why would Canada want to protect these soldiers from the warm and loving embrace of the Obama regime?

I think they should give them sanctuary and keep their sorry asses in Canada where they can sponge off them the rest of their lives instead of us.

Keep your garbage to yourselves. (That might be an idea for Toronto, as well...)

We’re STILL trying to clean up the mess from the Viet-Nam era scumbags who came up here.

By the way, the MP’s who put forward this rather obscene proposal are members in two of the three parties that tried to usurp the government a few weeks ago, just after an election.

Fortunately, our PM was on the ball and managed to prevent a procedural coup.

When y’all deport them, put ‘em on a plane bound for Havana. That way, it is a “Win-Win” for the US and Canada.

LOL! While I feel for you, you have to admit your problems with these scum bags are self inflicted. All you had to do was turn them away!

Fine with me. Let the sorry bitches be Canada’s problem. But once they take ‘em, they need to KEEP ‘em.
