The “not just those from the U.S. — to apply for permanent residence as conscientious objectors to armed conflicts not sanctioned by the United Nations…”
That would open a huge door to allow in hordes of Muslim fighters pretending to be objectors, but rather simply relocating their fighters like like the Trojan horse of the Iliad.
But Liberals don’t think even that deeply.

to: pstar. Thanks for pointing out the article from the Citizen.
That’s too bad. We sure in heck don’t want ’em. What about Baldwin? Will you still take him?
Thank God! Keep those yellowbelly’s out. I have an uncle who was a career US army soldier. Though he didn’t agree with the war in Iraq, he did 2 tours and retired after.
A commitment is a commitment – where is the sense of duty these days?
I thought all Private Member Bills were “whipped” votes?
the Whip comes down when I say so! (M. Iggy)
Well I guess I shouldn’t expect a foreigner to respect our parliamentary traditions/protocols…
Why should deserters get welfare in OUR country? Their problem is with THEIR government (a government which doesn’t force them to join the armed forces, I might add). They should stay in the US and deal with it.
Once in a while a little sanity peeks out, even in the Demented Dominion.

Yeah…sorry our deserters and C.O.s headed your way in Vietnam, and sorry they’re headed your way now. It’s not like we’re hanging them at dawn or anything.
I guessed this would not pass.
Thanks for small doses of sanity. Retard Kennedy can now explain how he came up with the “70+ percent of Canadians support deserters” statistic.
Kennedy lied.
At least the Vietnam War deserters and draft-dodgers could argue they had no choice in being conscripted.
As a retired military man myself, what really irks me most about these deserters is the fact that none of them were conscripted; they were all volunteers.
They chose to join up.
What the hell did they think they were joining?
Exactly what wasn’t quite clear to them about the term “US ARMY”?

And on that note, an interesting article about Mr. Ignatieff:
