Army deserter, Kim Rivera is due to be deported from Canada today, along with her brood. We’ve been writing about Rivera and her brood since January, 2009<\/a>. She’s been ordered out of Canada several times<\/a>, but the appeals process always seems to get in the way. But this one seems inevitable, says CBC<\/a>, despite the fact that pesky Desmond Tutu is trying to interfere;<\/p>\n

The War Resisters Support Campaign, who organized a demonstration in Toronto Wednesday evening calling on Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to stop Rivera’s deportation order, say she could face a court martial and time behind bars when she returns to the U.S.<\/p>\n

Efforts to permit Rivera to stay here have also attracted some high-profile supporters, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu<\/p>\n

“The deportation order given to Ms. Rivera is unjust and must be challenged,” Tutu wrote earlier this week in a commentary published in the Globe and Mail.<\/p>\n

“It’s in times when people are swept up in a frenzy of war that it’s most important to listen to the quiet voices speaking the truth. Isn’t it time we begin to redress the atrocity of this war by honouring those such as Ms. Rivera who had the courage to stand against it at such cost to themselves?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, go read the Marie Claire<\/a> interview where she said she went AWOL because her obese husband who forced her to join the Army got moody because he had to stay home and take care of the kids while she was in Iraq, because taking care of kids is harder than going to war, apparently.<\/p>\n

It’s unfortunate that her husband can’t be tossed in jail, too, but we’ll see how he likes taking care of their herd while she’s rotting in jail. <\/p>\n
