Reforms aimed at making the draft more equitable along gender and class lines also eliminates higher education as a shelter. Underclassmen would only be able to postpone service until the end of their cur-rent semester. Seniors would have until the end of the academic year.

Looks like I'm going to have to apply for my Canadian citizenship early. No way I'm going to fight for that zealous retard in office. Should be easy though, I got in-laws that live there.
If all fails though, I am willing to shoot my foot...seriously.
Edit - I doesn't seem too impracticle that the government will pass this bill, considering that Smart Border Declaration was signed only 3 years ago.
