Canada's parliament votes to grant asylum to US war resisters
“Parliament on Tuesday voted to allow US resisters of the Iraq war who fled to Canada to stay in this country, thus avoiding military court-martial in the United States.
The non-binding motion passed 137 to 110, with support from all three opposition parties, which hold a majority of seats in the House.
It urged the government to allow conscientious objectors “who have refused or left military service related to a war not sanctioned by the United Nations” to stay in Canada.”
