Leaving the US for Canada in 1969, I began living and working in a country that was opposed to the war in Vietnam. I had talked with immigration lawyers who told me that I had a 50/50 chance of being accepted as a landed immigrant. I decide to wait for official word from the Canadian government.

Biographical,Memoir

Entering Canada, without any working papers, I began working at jobs that paid cash. Starting a communal house in Vancouver, with people from Vancouver, Toronto, Michigan, and California. I left Vancouver for Vancouver Island, where I began a career in forestry while waiting for a decision.

The story ends with my getting "landed immigrant status", and spending 20 years in the forestry sector, logging, planting etc.

This sequel to "Losing My Country Keeping My Soul", shows the emotional, gut wrenching, decision making process, that one individual went through, during the Vietnam war. By leaving his country, friends and relatives to prove a point, which was that you can oppose a war by rejecting that countries military stance, and not become a cog in the war machine.
