It's all Harper's fault. :lol:

That is what some of the far left wing liberals here want us to believe. They have not convinced me of that yet, and probably never will. Liberals mostly talk for nothing. :D

They seem to avoid articles that point out those details.

For Army Guy:

http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/opinion/veterans-khadr-settlement-1.4206063

I understand that veterans are currently stuck with what I and many other Canadians thought was a very stingy benefits package from the Harper administration.

While this is a separate topic from the Khadr settlement, it's easy to see why veterans and many others make a connection.

https://www.google.ca/amp/globalnews.ca/news/3318246/federal-budget-to-bring-back-lifetime-pension-option-for-canadian-veterans/amp/

I think this is a good time to contribute and to lobby government for improvements:

I agree, and it should be fairly easy considering that Trudeau is telling us he just saved $40mil. by settling the Khadr case..

Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball


Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball

You were at Gitmo wehre ya? I think not. I think I'll take the word of the SCC and SCOTUS.

Been cited on here numerous times. I'm busy right now but it won't take you long to google it.

Lol...None of what you are saying has been cited because it didnt happen.

The only thing you're busy doing is hiding from facts.

Still making it up as you go, eh drummindiver.

I say wait for the appeal process. If the US actually allows it to proceed, they'll have to produce their evidence.

But I suspect they'll find a quick technical reason to overturn his conviction to avoid producing the truth. IE, because he was coerced into 'confessing' under threat of returning to Gitmo indefinitely with no trial.

Since he's already served his time, nothing is lost.

Lol. Only thing courts ruled on was CSIS interviewed him and shared info. Quit being a drama queen....it doesn't excuse murder and terrorism.

We can only provide you with the facts. If you can't comprehend, or don't want to accept, them that is up to you.

And that right there, if you had any knowledge of law, you would know is illegal. That would be like you hiring a lawyer because you had a charge against you, and having that lawyer divulge to the crown prosecutor what you said in confidence.

Poor Omar.

You just said you believe in "Law and Order".

You either do or you don't. It sounds like you are being selective.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi

To call Khadr a terrorist or murderer is ludicrous in the extreme – the incident that led to his capture was clearly a firefight with distinct combatants on both sides. Nobody was out to terrorize anybody.

The widow and family of Christopher Speer have been awarded  $134-million (U.S.) by a U.S. court in a ruling alleging Khadr killed the American soldier and partially blinded another. 

That Speer was killed while serving his country is a tragic loss.

But why would his family be entitled to such a massive sum? Speer was killed in battle, he was not murdered in his bed.

If Speer’s loss is worth $134-million, why wouldn't the deaths of every one of the Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan be worth the same?
