Don't worry about Canada. We (or rather, 36%) recently elected an extreme right-wing government. I voted against them.

But they're on their way out. Recent financial scandals--more than one, in fact--are coming to light.

In any case, two of three political parties support the war deserters. As soon as Harper and his cronies are thrown out, the deserters will be more than welcome in Canada.
