If the draft were to come back the call would be: Go South Young Man! To where the margaritas flow!

Ahem... a little simplified...
The legal issues surrounding the draft and or deserters is somewhat different than your "interpretation". Canada will only ship back draft dodgers and deserters if they are deserting or dodging a conflict that Canada is invovled in too... and then only if it is a war, not an armed intervention... and those laws have been on the books since the Great War. So draft dodgers and deserters were shipped back during the Great War and World War 2... but not Korea, or Vietnam, or in this case Afghanistan or Iraq (Canada doesn't recognize the legality of Iraq).
