Nelson, a city in British Columbia, has decided (after careful consideration and over dissenting voices) that it would not erect a statue to consciencious objectors who fled to Canada to avoid persecution for their personal beliefs (some like to call these people 'draft dodgers').

The alternative statue will feature that mascot of the northwest: Sasquatch! That's right folks, and he's going to be ten feet tall and carrying a case of beer. I think it's absolutely heartwarming. Sas, as I like to call him, will be carrying a case of Canada's own Kokanee beer. It makes me want to sing 'O Canada'. Article.
