I hear the Canadians are building an anti-War memorial honoring the American ticks in their society, the pu**ies who fled while their neighbors fought Communists, only to be sold down - the - river by Kerry and his merry band of Communist gypsies, now including Forehead and Serpenthead. Way to go Canadistan...the spirit of that ahole Trudeau lives on...way to go.
Brit's show did a segment on this last evening. The town is split on this memorial. The people thrive on tourism and it has one half of the town against the other half.
NELSON, British Columbia (AP) -- U.S. draft dodgers who fled to Canada are finally getting some recognition -- in Canada.
Artists and activists in this picturesque lakeside town have announced plans for a bronze monument and festival to honor them.
"This will mark the courageous legacy of Vietnam War resisters and the Canadians who helped them resettle in this country during that tumultuous era," said Isaac Romano, director of Our Way Home, a celebration set for 2006.
Dennis Klein, a sculptor and teacher at Kootenay School of the Arts, and artist Naomi Lewis have been chosen to make a memorial depicting Canadians embracing the hands of American resisters.
"I've met so many draft resisters over the years and some of them are local peers of mine that are artists and others are a part of the community," Klein said. "It would be nice to honor them and all those that actually took a step toward peace."***
