While I believe that there were draft dodgers who fled to Canada because they felt that it was their only option I don't think they deserve a monument.
Some things just don't need to be paid tribute.
I'm not going to try to characterize every draft dodger as a coward or a hero but the monument seems really weak.
Why not have a monument for every single choice that people make that is contrary to what the norm is?
It just seems like Nelson, BC wants a monument and this is they way that they are getting it.
