Canada used to be a haven for peace activists during the Vietnam era, a place where Americans could go to escape the madness of war. No longer.
On October 4, 2007, Retired Colonel/ diplomat Ann Wright and Medea Benjamin were denied entry to Canada because they have engaged in acts of non-violent civil disobedience against the war in Iraq.
