Prime Minister Harper instructed government lawyers to oppose bail for Khadr. He still has to face a trial I believe. A Queens Bench Court judge of Alberta, granted bail. Again Canadian government lawyers appealed this verdict. The next judge threw out the government case. Both judges are women.
Prime Minister Harper went on television and decried the court's decision. He flatly stated Khadr committed murder. He offered condolences to the family of the murdered American Army Medic.
Not Canada here, but the activist judges who abound in Canada. That kind of judge is also active in the United States.
I'm afraid it's more that just the judges. Maher Arar was al-Qaeda operative and an associate of Omar Khadr. He was deported to Syria by the Americans in 2002. Arar sued Canada and the Canadians decided to give him 10 million dollars for his inconveniences. He also got an apology from Harper. Arar got these canadian awards: Council of Canadians Human Rights Award, British Columbia Civil Liberties Association Robson Award, Honorary Doctorate of Letters, Nipissing University, and many more. Like his friend Arar, Khadr is also suing the Canadian government for 20 million.
