Ottawa to offer Omar Khadr apology, $10-million in compensation
The Globe and Mail ^ | 7/4/17 | ROBERT FIFE

The Trudeau government is poised to offer an apology and a $10-million compensation package to former child soldier Omar Khadr for abuses he suffered while detained in the U.S. military prison for captured and suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2010 that the actions of federal officials who participated in U.S. interrogations of Mr. Khadr had offended “the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects.”

The court said the action of the Canadian government had violated the former child soldier’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and deprived him of fundamental principles of justice.

Kill an unarmed American medic, get 10 million dollars. Pathetic.

That’s nothing. Be glad the case wasn’t heard in the 9th Circus.

“Canadian Standards”= lose the war as soon as possible in the most ridiculous manner possible.

Canada’s cities are like Dearborn, Michigans now. Montreal is unrecognizable. Toronto is a small Muslim country in its own right. Attacks such as that on Nathan Cirillo are deemed acts by “disturbed persons,” and muslim gang violence such as repeated attacks even near the capital, Ottawa, are completely ignored in the news - even when public and tourist safety is threatened. Canada is working overtime to silence public knowledge of the massive shift, but look at what weapons the RCMP are carrying... And look up and down the streets... And look at the local crime figures exploding, all the new alarm systems going in, the public affairs campaigns about violence against women and “when a girl says no...” Canada is changing fast and the people are paying a high price.

Send him to Afghanistan where his roots and sympathy lie. He and Trudeau can start a education center for Afghani youth....i.e. terrorist training camp.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if that $10 million was used to fund a huge attack on Canada's Parliament complex! The last one was just one guy and the account I read indicated that he damn close to getting to their Prime Minister.

Just reading about this goofball Trudeau and his antics ought to make Americans more grateful we have Donald Trump as our President.

This is an insult to the United States.

Trump should have the State Department file a formal complaint against Canada (although most of the globalists and muslim sympathizers in the US State Dept. probably agree with Canada).

And we need a way to respond to Canada.

Hit them where it hurts.
Maybe make the US off bounds to Canadian snowbirds next winter!

I have no words to describe how angry this makes me, as well as my feelings toward the DANGEROUS IDIOT we have in control.

The War on Terror has turned into a disaster of epic proportions.

Canada committing societal and cultural suicide is not in our best interests.

“Child?”

He murdered an American soldier.

An now Canada is going to give him $10m!

May I request that there are no more “enemy combatants?”

Kill them (execute) on the battlefield. Just like spies.

Well, they have no uniform, ensinia, rank or country (see Geneva Conventions on warfare).

Canada has gone full blown BS crazy. I recall when many Canadians were transient workers in upstate NY picking apples for an uncle while other French Canucks broke into my grandfather’s camp to live free for the winter. Now they are all part of the Canadian Socialist State.

We are going to need a wall on our Northern border, as well. Canada has gone over to the dark side.
