OTTAWA - When U.S. soldier Corey Glass decided two years ago that he would rather be a criminal for fleeing the Iraq war than be a criminal by staying in it, there was one obvious place to go ? Canada, a refuge for Americans who had fled the Vietnam War draft. But instead of being welcomed, he became the first deserter to receive orders to leave the country ? and ended up a symbol of Canada?s conflicted sentiments about the war. On Tuesday, Canada?s House of Commons passed a motion urging the government to allow deserters to stay. The measure, though nonbinding, could lead to a last-minute reprieve for Glass and nearly 40 others who have asked for refugee status. Perhaps 200 more war dodgers are living in the country unannounced, waiting to see how Canada will ultimately declare itself, the War Resisters Support Campaign says. zum Artikel...
