-- OTTAWA -- A Liberal MP has introduced a private member's bill aimed at letting American "war resisters" stay in Canada.

Gerard Kennedy's bill would allow foreign military deserters – or those who refuse mandatory military service – to stay in Canada if their action is based on "sincere moral, political or religious objection."
