I would have to disagree with you on your statement involving the American deserters. These deserters are much different than the American men who fled Canada to dodge the draft (draft dodgers were civilians). Pacifists, the two men in question joined the Army voluntarily, they were not drafted. I don't know about you, but in America joining the military means that there is a possibility that you will see some type of action.
Right now the Canadian govt. is slapping American's in the face, and if the deserters aren't returned Canada is going to have many upset Americans (e.g. The French have lost millions and millions of dollars for their undermining statements and policies. Right now the French are dealing with a large recession). I have no problem with dissent concerning the war, but your government has no right to offer these SOLDIERS assylum.
Regarding your statements about immigration you are incorrect. Currently upon arrival to Canada, immigrants are provided with money, health care, and are not even screened for up until six months. That's right the government doesn't screen the immigrants until they have a chance to. I'm not saying that America does a good job with immigration, but your government actually has these people right in front of the them asking for financial assistance.
