I first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=6667\">wrote about Rivera<\/a> earlier in the year just before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=6880\">she was ordered out of the country<\/a>, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=7395\">given a stay<\/a> which expired recentlyand now the Canadians have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torontosun.com\/news\/canada\/2009\/08\/12\/10434276-sun.html\">awarded her another reprieve<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctv.ca\/servlet\/ArticleNews\/story\/CTVNews\/20090812\/war_resister_090812\/20090812?hub=Canada&amp;s_name=\">Canadian Press\/CTV<\/a> write;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Tuesday, [Judge James] Russell tossed out the existing review, ruling it contained &#8220;no meaningful examination&#8221; of whether Rivera would face targeted prosecution for having spoken out against the war in Iraq &#8212; a major concern for Rivera&#8217;s defence team.<\/p>\n<p>Had the ruling gone against her, Rivera would likely have been deported to the United States, where she could face a court martial and a potential prison sentence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You&#8217;re damn right she would. Ya wanna know why? She took a $10,000 bonus from the Army for enlisting (which she spent on a leather couch that she left behind when she deserted with her herd and her fat-assed, lazy husband) and absconded to another country to avoid fulfilling her contract.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I tell the story about the loving Rivera family, I get stares like I&#8217;m making it up. Her husband and she worked at WalMart until he knocked her up &#8211; they got married and moved into her family&#8217;s basement &#8211; literally. Somehow living her family&#8217;s basement, they incurred a lot of bills, so her fat-assed husband convinced her to join the Army (since, by his own admission he was too damned fat to get in the Army). She joined the Army and &#8211; SURPRISE &#8211; they sent her to Iraq. After a few months she got a mid-tour leave to see her family. She thanked the Army by packing up her kids and fork-lifting hubby-the-fat-ass to Canada where they&#8217;ve been living off the Canadian taxpayers for the last two year and change.<\/p>\n<p>They went to Canada because hubby was upset that he had to take care of the kids by himself and it really cut into his computer game playing. I guess Kimberly has taken him away from his gaming at least once, because they&#8217;ve had another kid to saddle Canadian welfare with since they moved there.<\/p>\n<p>Now it looks like they&#8217;re going to get <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/canada\/toronto\/story\/2009\/08\/11\/iraq-war-resister-stay081109.html?ref=rss\">a four-month reprieve<\/a> while the judge gets briefed by the feds on what Rivera will face when she returns.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In his ruling Tuesday in Ottawa, Justice James Russell said an officer from Citizenship and Immigration Canada who performed a pre-removal risk assessment of Rivera did not consider whether she and other outspoken Iraq war objectors would face &#8220;targeted prosecution&#8221; based upon their political opinion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>In an email to CBC News Tuesday evening, Liberal MP Gerard Kennedy said [Immigration Minister Jason] Kenney &#8220;continues to abuse his position as minister by substituting his personal opinions for public policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Kenney knows full well that the American military continue the policy of stop-loss \u2014 compelling service after contracts have ended \u2014 and other forms of compulsion,&#8221; Kennedy wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What stop-loss?
