U.S. soldiers seek asylum in Canada. Opposed to Iraq war.

Nice story about these two young men right here.

Good for them. I wished more would follow suit.

16. How is living in Canada different than living in the U.S.?

The differences are subtle and become more apparent as time progresses. The most obvious difference is how we deal with cultural diversity. America has the notion of the melting pot, where people forget about their cultures and become good little consumers. Canada has the notion of the mosaic, which celebrates diversity and the various riches that different cultures contribute to the Canadian social fabric. Also, although I hope I never have to utilize it, Canada provides a wonderful social safety net for its citizens that I have no problem paying a higher rate of taxes for. Last, but definitely not least, TIM HORTON'S! :donut: :thumbsup:

The soldiers will be speaking this Thursday night in Toronto at a forum held at Trinity-St Paul's United Church. Don't have the details handy.

The differences between Canada and U.S. become more and more obvious. Somebody keep urging me to move there if things really get bad in the ol' U.S.A.!
