A U.S. judge granted $134.2 million in damages in 2015, but the plaintiffs acknowledged then that there was little chance they would collect any of the money from Khadr because he lives in Canada
Rebel media.com CEO Ezra Levant is right in tweeting that Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “chose July 4th as the day to announce he’ll pay $10,000,000 to an unrepentant Al Qaida terrorist who killed an American.”
By choosing today for his stunning announcement, is Trudeau hoping to hoopla-hide that rather than the apology and $10 million he’s giving Omar Khadr, who pled guilty of killing U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Christopher Speer and blinding Sgt. 1st Class and Special Forces Engineer Layne Morris in his right eye during a 2002 firefight at an al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan, he should have recused himself from both apology and award?
Wonderful response... has little to do with either my questions or the issue of discussion but then neither did much else you said. Defense of Canada? You’ve got to be kidding..... as another poster here suggested (and I reword for the purpose of this point), do you think all Americans should be characterized on the basis of electing Obama twice? That gets a little tired....
As for ‘giving away its right to free speech’, I think you are absolutely right. My Canadian Freeper friends are in a full out war with the liberals there.
Frankly, Polk should never have compromised with Great Britain. He should have stuck with 54 40.
Canada was protected by the US SAC throughout the Cold War at a cost of ZERO dollars. Just one example of riding on someone else’s coattails.
