  1. #Canada declared war against #Nazi #Germany almost 2 years before the #UnitedStates.

    Canada stayed out of the #Vietnam quagmire completely, and welcomed #American #DraftDodgers that couldn’t afford to pay Doctors to lie, like #Trump did.

    As a *trusted* #NATO member, Canada responded to invokation of #Article5 after #September11th and fought in #Afghanistan but passed on the #WarForOil in #Iraq.

    #Canada outlawed *all* #gerrymandering.

    Why is #Canadian education so much better than #American ?

  3. Je crois qu'on tient un argument massue si on fait voter les gens sur une loi pareille.

    Tu veux déclarer une guerre en tant que politicien ?
    Alors, par la loi, au moins un de tes enfants doit s'engager et être placé au plus près du front.
    Allez, on en parle plus comme ça.

  5. #Canada ‘punched above its weight’ in #WorldWar2. But when #Nixon wanted #Canadians to fight in #Vietnam , Pierre #Trudeau was a ‘hard no’. In fact, he welcomed #DraftDodgers to Canada! cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.362

    After #September11th , Canadians fought and died alongside #Americans in #Afghanistan. But when George W. Bush asked Jean Crétien to send troops to #Iraq , Crétien smelled the #WMD hoax and was a ‘hard no’.

    #MarkCarney is a ‘hard no’ on the #FelonsCrusade too!

  7. I support #DraftDodgers if they're doing so because they don't believe in wars & want to work at creating more peace.
    I don't support draft dodgers who don't work at creating peace & send others to sacrifice their lives for dirty, illegal wars - like the current PedorapistPOTUS.

  9. Folk group #MitchellTrio, after Chad was replaced by #JohnDenver - sang the #PhilOchs #satire "Draft Dodger Rag" in 1968. This is one of the rare occasions where the Denver-led trio sang a song released by the original #ChadMitchellTrio.

    The Chad Mitchell Trio released the song in 1964, one year before Phil Ochs put it on his own album. When the trio recorded the song, in addition to the original song that Ochs wrote, they also included a hilarious narrative intro to the song, as can be heard on their album, The Slightly Irreverent Mitchell Trio:

    We've licked pneumonia and TB and the plagues that used to mock us.
    We've got the onus on the sun; the smallpox cannot pock us.
    We've found the antibodies for the staphylostreptococcus.
    But ahh, the universal curse, from Vietnam to Korea,
    The bug of bugs that bugs us still and begs for panacea.
    Oh, who will find the antidote for - pentagonorrhea?

    The above intro was written by master lyricist Yip Harburg, who wrote lyrics for songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"

  11. During the Vietnam War, Pierre Trudeau famously welcomed American draft dodgers and conscientious objectors to Canada. It created many (unique!) communities in this country that continue to be unique and valuable to this day.

    Should Canada actively welcome American immigrants/refugees, or is it different this time?

  13. #Ucraina: i #renitenti alla leva

    #draftdodgers

    La traduzione in inglese è:
    Ukraine’s draft dodgers

    Non ne parlano volentieri i media che hanno rielaborato il concetto di "guerra giusta" presentandoci un esercito di giovani ucraini pieni di #patriottismo pronti a combattere.

    La realtà è che questi giovani per lo più cercano in tutti i modi di sottrarsi alla leva. Con conseguenze anche drammatiche.

  25. "Draft dodgers are like scared rats, they bite when cornered," says former "Aidar" commander Wild about draft dodgers. "But they'll find out that they'll have to deal with people like me — take matters into our own hands. We have enough hands, iron, and determination for this. Believe me, we'll clean them up, there won't be any place left." #DraftDodgers #MilitaryService

    "War I despise
    'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
    War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes
    When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
    I said

    (War), It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
    (War), Friend only to the undertaker, awwww
    War is the enemy of all mankind
    The thought of war blows my mind
    War has caused unrest, within the younger generation
    Induction then destruction
    Who wants to die?
    Awwww!

    War has shattered many young men's dreams
    Made them disabled, bitter and mean
    Life is much too short and precious to be fighting wars these days
    War can't give life, it can only take it away, awwww!

    (War, huh) Good God y'all
    (What is it good for?) Absolutely nothing, say it
    (War, huh) Lord, lord, lord, lord
    (What is it good for?) Oh, absolutely nothing
    Listen to me..."

    "War"
    Edwin Starr. 1970
