Sun., March 29 in Winnipeg: The Good Soldier – Lunch and Talk

In Joshua’s case, he may be sentenced to decades in a U.S. military prison.

Hear some well-informed speakers about the campaign to win U.S. military veterans refuge in Canada:

Joshua Key, American veteran and outspoken war resister. Joshua came to Canada in 2005 after serving in the initial invasion of Iraq. He wrote about the atrocities he witnessed in “The Deserter’s Tale” (2007).
Michelle Robidoux, a founding member of the War Resisters Support Campaign.
Alyssa Manning, passionate immigration lawyer who represents U.S. war resisters in Canadian courts.
Dr. Amar Khoday, Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba

It is clear that the Conservative government is defying public opinion and international law.
