Yes, the coalition just announced that if voted in they would support any refuges escaping from militarism. Harper opens parliament on the 26th. Too late, this deportation has already caused precedent, what that precedent fully entails, we don't know. More rights for the government to arrest in Martial law?

I am deeply ashamed as a Canadian to have to say that I have just met (3 days ago) and tonight said good-bye (for now) to Chris Teske. Today, on what would have been Dr Martin Luther King's 80th birthday and is the eve of Barack Obama's inauguration, a judge in Vancouver issued her ruling that Immigration did not err when they decided NOT to allow Chris to remain in Canada. He will comply with the deportation order and enter the USA tomorrow, January 20, 2009. He is a man of tremendous courage.

BUBear: So this is how it goes for you? That any man with a bit of conscience and will to speak up is a traitor? This man wasnt kicked out of the army, and certainly not for shooting his own mates in the back. In contrary, you are the one shooting HIM in the back if you cant respect what he has to say.

[JoukoTouko]

In democracy, you have the freedom to express your opinion. And I think Chris Teske really has some information about the situation in Iraq. And he has made his own conclusions.

amazing guy....he makes total sense...

[BUBearL]

I being apart of the finest air force in the world, the United States Air Force, am honor to tell all of you foreigner to shut the hell up. You little vermin don't even live here. Please take these traitors to me and my fellow comrades. We don't want them here. I am VERY GLAD they are not serving with me. I don't know if I could get shot in the back by one of these traitors. So, please, shut your uninformed mouths.

a true american hero and patriot

But sadly like it is, I guess there are not enough men like him in the army.

This guy represents a true American hero !! Bush and Cheney are getting desperate , time is running out for them to tie up oil contracts for their oil buddies in Texas at a cost to the American people in lives and billions of dollars and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties.
