Boots Across the Border ll

Talk about will wonders never cease. The Immigration and Refugee Board has handed down its’ decision on the asylum application of US Army Deserter, Jeremy Hinzman. The Board ruled that Hinzman fails to meet the criteria and therefore his application for refugee status under Canadian law has been denied. Taken from the Toronto Star's report:
In a written ruling released today, the Immigration and Refugee Board said Jeremy Hinzman had not made a convincing argument that he faced persecution or cruel and unusual punishment in the United States. There was no immediate comment from Hinzman but his lawyer, Jeffry House, said he would ask the Federal Court to review the decision.

Yada, Yada. Now, when will he actually go – as in, "don’t let the door hit you on the way out" – go?
