Sorry for the delay, I was away from my computer.
Today, July 14, in Vancouver, US Iraq War resister Robin Long was told that his appeal to have his deportation order stayed was denied.
Please email and/or phone Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day, and ask him to immediately stop the deportation of US Iraq war resister Robin Long.
Ask Mr Day why the federal government is refusing to respect the will of the Canadian people and the Parliament of Canada, which have called for war resisters to stay in Canada, and demanded that deportation proceedings against them cease.
In a recent Angus Reid poll, almost two-thirds of Canadians said they want US war resisters to be allowed to stay in Canada. Demand to know why the Harper government is unwilling to be accountable to Canadians.

I'll post information on Robin's status and emergency actions as soon as I get it (which is probably the same time you get it).
Robin may be deported as early as tomorrow.

Why the minister of public safety all the sudden?
Good question, thanks for asking.
Once the refugee claimant's final appeal is denied, the case is turned over to Border Services (CBSA) for removal. And CBSA falls under the Public Safety Ministry.
Robin Long is a threat to public safety!
This is quite sarcastic. He's a total laid-back hippie kind of guy. Not a threat to anything or anyone.
Not a threat to anything or anyone.
Except the US government's many myths about Iraq, maybe.
Hope the demonstration went well today. Unfortunately it's very difficult for me to make it down for a mid-day protest, otherwise I'd have been there. But Day's office has heard from me.
Absolutely, people like Robin Long are no threat...they are okay and harmless and absolutey non-abusive and no bullies...no threat at all except to the Bush propaganda and exploitation...they can help to deconstruct their fairy tales, kind of, which is urgently needed, of course!!!
