U.S. war resister ordered to leave
TORONTO -- The Canada Border Services Agency has ruled an American soldier who has been living in Toronto because she didn't want to serve in Iraq must return to the United States.
The War Resisters Support Campaign says the agency has told Kimberly Rivera she must leave Canada by Sept. 20. Rivera, the first female U.S. war resister, fled to Canada in 2007 to avoid further military service.
She had initially arrived while on leave but then applied for refugee status.
