"I need to ask the Canadian people for help, because I'm losing the battle against saving my husband's life," Michele Kubby cried. Kubby argued on behalf of her husband Steve, who was too ill to attend the hearing. "To remove him from Canada is like removing a diabetic from his insulin," Kubby told Justice Yvon Pinard. Kubby, his wife and two young daughters, had been told to voluntarily leave Canada by Thursday or they will be forcibly removed. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
