Commons private member's bill for resisters
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 21:13 — David
From Laura K's excellent "We Move To Canada" blog:
Today in Ottawa, there will be a press conference featuring Liberal MP Gerard Kennedy, Liberal Immigration Critic Maurizio Bevilacqua, NDP Immigration Critic Olivia Chow, Bloc Québécois Immigration Critic Thierry St-Cyr, war resister Kim Rivera, and war resister Phil McDowell. Gerard Kennedy will announce a private member's bill to stop all deportation proceedings against US war resisters in Canada, and to let them stay. All three opposition parties support the bill.

The Harper Conservatives
The problem is with the Harper and Kenney Government. They don't get it...and think they can get away with everything, including lack of respect for democracy. A coalition government soon would be great...the sooner, the better. And the sack for Harper and Kenney!!
