A message from the War Resisters Support Campaign

Justin Trudeau's response to question on U.S. Iraq War resisters

TODAY: Send a message to Minister of Immigration John McCallum – It's time to let US war resisters stay!

This is Let Them Stay Week – let federal Minister of Immigration John McCallum know that you support a provision to allow U.S. war resisters to stay in Canada, and that you want the current legal proceedings against them to cease.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
On Monday November 30 – Contact the Minister Day: Watch and share the video above of Alexina Key asking Justin Trudeau if a Liberal government will allow her husband Joshua Key and other US war resisters to stay.

THEN: phone or email Minister of Immigration John McCallum to urge him to let U.S. Iraq War resisters stay. You can send an email here or write your own message and send to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Or call 613-954-1064.

Key points to mention:
• Resolve this issue swiftly as part of the change promised by the new government
• It is time to fix this issue – end over 10 years of unfair and unjust legal and political actions by the former Conservative government
• Stop the deportations
• Stop pursuing war resister cases in court, as doing so defends decisions and policies made by the former Conservative government
• Rescind Operational Bulletin 202
• Implement a new Operational Bulletin that restores fairness for all war resister cases and reverses the harm done

You can also write a hand-written letter to the Minister of Immigration and mail it (postage required) to:

The Honourable John McCallum, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 1L1
