those were gone already.. Canada made agreements with the US to deport draft dodgers a few years back.

"Canada has signed an agreement with the US to halt what has been called asylum shopping - refugees who have been denied or think they will be denied asylum in one country, then crossing the border to apply in the other.
Deciding to slam the door on refugees who travel through the US has earned Canada rare criticism from the UNHCR as well as human rights groups.
They say that America's policies are nothing to emulate. They are critical of the US for creating a system that permits inspectors to make the on-the-spot decision to immediately deport people if they are not satisfied that the applicants have a credible fear of persecution. "

As a young male US resident, I'm getting ready to jump ship the minute Dubya announces he's gonna restart the draft so that we can invade Syria.
;)
Yes, I know he said publicly that there would be no draft...of course that was only after his audience corrected him! Who's the flip-flopper now?
I heard that during Vietnam, the draft only took 19-year olds and never ran out. Can anyone confirm that?
