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.
Kyle, I lost a comment of yours, about when we decided to move...? Can you direct me to it?
ReplyDeleteOh, yow, wow. Two weeks, or are you out the door this evening?
ReplyDeleteWill you be on the dole? Getting pogey?
ReplyDeleteRepeated here:
ReplyDeleteSo when exactly did you make the decision to move to Canada? (I looked through the archives, and found your reasons why Canada, and why now, but not when you made up your mind)
When you started saving up money a couple of years ago, had you already decided where you were going to go?
Congratulations on freeing yourself from yet another impediment to your move. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, "August 28", yeah... never mind. :)
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to go stick my head in a bucket of water? I've got one handy...
Guess this is one of those few times one can actually say "congratulations on becoming unemployed."
ReplyDelete;-)
So, Congrats to you, L-G!!!!
Yes, congratulations is an odd thing to say to the unemployed. But, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody!
ReplyDeleteI'm technically not unemployed until the end of August, and even then we'll have writing income (though that isn't enough to live on long-term). But it felt so good to take this step!
Kyle, that's a good question. I'll blog on it tomorrow morning.

I love this line. It is just too, too funny.
ALPF, how great! Get this, I am actually registered at that 43things site. I signed up so I could lend encouragement to another American interested in making the move. I will visit them both, and blog on it further...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and happy unemployment!
