My parents just bought a new book on the topic: _Hell No We Won't Go: Vietnam Draft Resistors in Canada_ by Alan Haig-Brown. The author's father Roderick was the kind of writer they name awards after, and Alan is now a lively and experienced writer himself.

His book is made up from interviews of 20 of the draft dodgers who stayed here, about their decisions and their stories. See . (If you buy it or find it in a library, I'd like to hear about it at maureen_parrott@sunshine.net.)

By the way, Canada profited from an influx of educated, hard-working, law-abiding immigrants in your Civil War, too. They were called United Empire Loyalists. Similarly, both our countries gained enormously from the talents of European refugees from WWII. England experienced social and economic growth following immigrations of French and Flemish protestants during the wars of religion on the Continent, and so on.
