Iraq War resisters in Canada

Ok kiddo, let me explain it to you. There was a war that happened in Iraq a while ago, and some people from Canada didn't like it and didn't want to fight in it. So, these people decided to leave the army and run away to Canada. These people are called "Iraq war resisters".

When they came to Canada, they asked for permission to stay there because they didn't want to go back to the U.S and fight in the war. Some Canadians agreed to let them stay and live in Canada, but some didn't. It made some people upset because they thought it wasn't fair to send them back to a war that they didn't want to be a part of.

So, the Iraq war resisters stayed in Canada for a while, but the Canadian government eventually had to decide whether they could stay or go back to the U.S. It was a big debate, and some people argued that they should be allowed to stay because Canada should stand up for what's right. Others said that they should go back to the U.S because they were breaking the law.

In the end, some Iraq war resisters were allowed to stay in Canada, but some were sent back to the U.S. It was a complicated situation where people had different opinions, but it's important to always be kind and understanding of others, even if we don't agree with them.
