Back during the Vietnam war, Canada was the place of choice for draft dodgers and military deserters. Apparently, Canada is in no mood for a massive encore.
U.S. Army deserter Robin Long is believed to be the first of the Iraq war that Canada has kicked out their country. Long was deported from Canada Tuesday and was immediately arrested when he crossed into the United States. The Federal Court of Canada rejected Long's request to let him stay in the country pending further appeals. A spokesman for the U.S. Army, said Long would be returned to Fort Knox, Ky., for disciplinary procedures, including possible prison time.
So, what happens if Liberals no longer have a Canada to run to? Hollywood may be forced to suck it up and soldiers may be forced to honor their commitments. Oh the horror!

They could always go to Mexico, or maybe Jane Fonda's??
Or CUBA. Michael Moore says the place is GREAT! lol
You're assuming far too much to say that most military deserters are liberal. People who desert war may do it for political reasons, but many do it for personal reasons as well.
I'm not saying that people in the military shouldn't honor their commitments either, and yes, the Canadian government IS doing the right thing in sending them back for their punishment, however I think it's unfair to turn something like this into a bullshit "Liberal vs. Conservative" political issue. It's much more than that.
Mexico is liberal???
