heading north again

We leave this morning for Burlington, Vermont (and one day in Montreal!), to visit family and friends. We're back on Friday night, so I'll see you all bright and early on Saturday. Have a good week.

    Hi, I picked up your comment on the "Moving to Canada, eh" blog. I can't speak for the other Canadians who are helping out, but my main purpose is to provide any Americans with a good picture of life in Canada - warts and all. I have lived in most parts of this country, as I served in our military for over 20 years, and moved a lot. I believe that it is a positive thing for Canada to be open to progessive-minded people. Our economy is not as strong as yours, and people are the key to our cultural and economic development.

    The Cdn bloggers on our site live from the east to the west coasts, and we are all more than willing to help you however we can - it's the Canadian thing to do ;-)

    Q: We were prepared - but lucky! Everyone was telling us we just missed some truly awful weather. Thanks for reading. Did you just find my blog, or have you been lurking for awhile?

    Harold Jarche: Thank you! Our friend in Montreal was saying something similar, which I will blog about shortly.

    I've just found it. Being an immigrant myself (I moved to Canada 3 years ago) I just love to read about people that choses to call Canada home. ;)

breaking news: jeremy hinzman deportation order has been stayed!

We've won another round!! A federal court judge has stayed the deportation of war resister Jeremy Hinzman and his family. Jeremy's lawyer can now apply for leave to appeal. YES!! More news later tonight or tomorrow morning, after I attend an emergency meeting. For now, enjoy the victory. [Apologies for causing any confusion - or heart attacks - earlier. I hit "publish" instead of "draft".]

watch this space for news about jeremy hinzman

Jeremy Hinzman's lawyer, Alyssa Manning, is in federal court today, trying to have Jeremy's deportation order stayed. This happened with Corey Glass, the day before his scheduled removal, and Corey has since won leave to appeal. In the intervening time, there has also been a very positive decision in Josh Key's case, regarding a soldier being forced to participate in human rights violations or war crimes, and an individual's right to refuse such activity. Because of this, we are hopeful - we are trying to be hopeful - that today's decision will be positive. But we know it may not be. We don't expect to hear anything before day's end. There's an emergency meeting tonight, so I may have already left when the news comes down, in which case Allan will update the blog.
