  Why the G&M then? There's a substantial number of American citizens in Canada--some as citizens, some working. They will read this column--just in time to fill out absentee ballots. 
  
  Also, it is likely that the large ex-patriot community in Toronto and Vancouver will send this column to their friends still in the U.S., easily done these days. That's part of why there is an emphasis on the 60s and the 2000s--two largest groups of conscientious objectors residing here came in those eras.
