Default Draft Dodgers Honoured.

Quote:
The mayor of a B.C. city says plans to erect a monument honouring American draft dodgers have been scrapped, but the leader of the group funding the monument says it will find another place to put it.

The proposed monument. Isaac Romano and his group, called Our Way Home, had been planning to erect the monument in Nelson, B.C., during a July 2006 two-day festival in honour of U.S. conscientious objectors.

Roughly 125,000 Americans crossed the border into Canada during the 1960s and 1970s because of their opposition to the Vietnam War. Many settled in the Nelson area.

No word yet on plans for a National Guard hider-away monument.

Prediction: If the statues do go up, it will be less than a month before someone paints yellow stripes down all their backs.
