Canadians have made it clear through polls, vigils, letters, petitions, rallies, and many other means, that they want American soldiers who refuse to participate in the Iraq war to be allowed to stay.
The House of Commons passed a motion in June 2008 calling for the government to stop deportation proceedings against war resisters allow them to apply for permanent resident status in Canada.
Yet the current government is continuing to try to deport resisters.
In January, there are five resisters facing deportation: Chris Teske, Cliff Cornell, Kimberly Rivera, Patrick Hart, and Dean Walcott. They need and deserve our help.
Please join this demonstration to let the federal government know Winnipeggers, like most Canadians everywhere, welcome war resisters.
Where: In front of 240 Graham Ave (where Conservative Minister Vic Toews has an office.)
When: Thursday, January 22, 2009
Time: 5:00 p.m. -6:00 p.m.
