Trudeau looking into whether U.S. war-dodgers can stay in Canada

No commitments have been made, however, about whether “conscientious objectors” who sought refuge in Canada will be granted permanent residency.

The Liberal government is reviewing Canada’s stance on American war dodgers who have sought refuge in this country rather than fight in Iraq, Prime Minister Trudeau said Friday.

Trudeau, however, gave no commitments that Ottawa might smooth the path to permanent residency for the conscientious objectors, some of whom have been forced to return to the U.S. to face prison terms, but said the issue was a live one.

“It’s one that we are looking into actively as a government,” Trudeau said after a transit-funding announcement in Toronto.

He did not elaborate.

Outside the transit yard where Trudeau was speaking, a handful of protesters from the War Resisters Support Campaign quietly held up a banner and signs calling on the government to let them stay.
