WAR RESISTERS WELCOME HERE': Brandon Hughey, US Army war resister, escaped to Canada to avoid participating in what the young soldier came to regard as a crime against humanity, the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Brandon spoke to some 15 thousand assembled in Ottawa on Nov. 30, 2004 to protest Bush's visit to Canada.

    It's supposed to be a one-way trip,

    This is beyond traitors and treason.

  • Typical yankee cowards! Deport them all! They are not welcomed in Canada!

  • Those america deserters must be deported!

  • But keep on believing this cowards voice. I'm glad he was not there, he may have been the death of me and the rest of the people who depended on each other.

  • Brandon Hughey was in my unit. He had already gone AWOL a couple of times before the incident. Did you worshipers also know that he was a Tanker? Meaning that he was a crewman for an Abrams tank... look it up if you are curious. And what does he know about "raping or killing"... He was in a fucking DIVISION HEADQUARTERS UNIT.... and they were not about to put him on any type of mission, due to his issues. And by mission I mean convoy support (RUNNING SUPPLIES TO TROOPS AND CIVILIANS)

  • These people dont represent all of Canadians...are u people idiots?

  • Wasn't there a monument erected somewhere in BC commemorating U.S. war resisters defecting to the Great White North?

  • You're not old fashioned, you're ignorant.

    Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose—and you allow him to make war at pleasure. (Abraham Lincoln)

  • They have about as much as the CIA does.
