The Canadian House of Commons has passed a motion urging the government to allow US war resisters to stay permanently in Canada. The non-binding motion calls on the Canadian government to stop all removal or deportation actions. Lee Zaslofsky of the War Resisters Support Campaign said, “This is a great victory for the courageous men and women who have come to Canada because they refuse to take part in the illegal, immoral Iraq war.” As many as 200 US war resisters are currently living in Canada.
