Guest Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 2 minutes ago, Omni said: They did shoot him-during a firefight-in a war zone. People do get killed in firefights in war zones. He was sent to Gitmo at 15 years old, a place where 3 separate USSC decisions claimed that methods of interrogation were illegal. He was tortured and then confessed to a bogus US military commission, and kept for 10 years total without access to any proper court. Bush said that was OK because HE decided that habeas corpus did not exist at Gitmo. It's not hard to find a strong basis for a court case amongst all that. I know they did. Not properly enough.

Popular Post Rue Posted July 4, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 He should be in prison for life. The notion this piece of garbage gets any money makes me puke. This is an unrepentant terrorist with a family who endorse and support terrorism and he's given an obscene amount of money while the children of the soldier he killed suffers. Ths glorification of terrorist scum makes me puke. That is all he is scum. This crap he was a victim child is everything wrong with this country's inability to grasp a world outside privileges and rights where everyone is entitled to something. I love all the liberals who prop him like some cuddly teddy bear trendy cause. How many Canadian soldiers have been forsaken since they came back from Afhanistan and they have the nerve to hand him this amount? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about all of our Canadians courts are stacked with liberal bleeding heart judges, and it isn't any wonder that the courts would be on this terrorist side. 1 hour ago, betsy said: How many among you Canadians, had the Prime Minister of Canada personally involved in helping you with your affairs? The patriarch was involved in bombing! Canada seems to be more allied with terrorists than being an ally of the USA! And we are all suppose to be proud Canadians and celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. What a joke Canada has become thanks in part to all those liberal supporting fools out there who want to make people like Khadr a Canadian hero. We have a PM that appears to like people like Khadr. He keeps bringing in more of them every year. What a guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Canada is responsible for him then he belongs in jail or better still shot dead. He was a terrorist pure and simple. No I don't make pets out of sewer rats..

taxme Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 19 minutes ago, Argus said: The whole Khadr family should have been stripped of their Canadian citizenship and expelled years ago. None of them are Canadians in anything but name. They've lived on welfare their entire time here, which has only been after their men were shot down fighting for allah abroad and they needed welfare and free medical care. But given the current state of Canada's government I wouldn't be surprised if Trudeau presented the cheque in person, on his knees, tears in his eyes as he issued a heartfelt apology, then calls a press conference to tell us what fine, upstanding people the Khadrs are and that he's agreed to bring their entire extended family over. 1 hour ago, betsy said: I knew something like this will be happening, when the narrative was about Canada "letting down Khadr" to rot in Guantanamo! The federal government is not obliged to make a public announcement, but the news outlet are saying Omar Khadr is likely to receive 10 millllion dollars and an apology. He's apparently seeking 20 million (and if I'm not mistaken, there's also a civil suit). It could be more - we won't know, unless the government decides to divulge it. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/keeping-up-with-the-khadrs-a-family-tree-1.976666 Take note that the patriarch was already helped by Prime Minister Chretien! I don't understand why Canada has to issue an apology - and compensation to Omar Khadr. If I remember correctly did not this present day PM of ours reverse what Harper did, and decided to give some of our Canadian jihadi Canadians their citizenship back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddess Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's 10 million dollars that is going to get funnelled right back into terrorism. This Kadhr family were never Canadians, except to receive health care for injuries they received while they fought with the terrorists in Afganistan. The mother refused to live in Canada, despite getting citizenship, because she didn't like Western influences on her children. Setting your children up to be terrorists is apparently far better than Western influences. Je suis sick of this religion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Canadian soldiers mean nothing to this present day liberal government who treats people like Khadr, and criminal illegals as gods. I have said it before and I will say it again, the liberals are well on their way to the destruction of a once great nation, and the creation of a new Canada where the likes of Khadr are treated as true and real patriotic Canadians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting sick and tired of this country that treats terrorists and criminal illegal aliens like they deserve recognition for their hatred of and crimes in Canada. These people like the Khadr family do not come to Canada to become Canadian. They are like so many others who only want to get here to be able to suck of the host Canadians, and all the freebies that they can get from them.

The previous Conservative gov't pandered to right-wing bigots (like on this site) and just ignored the issue and left it for the next gov't to clean up. Yup, all conservatives out there are all bigots. Typical liberal nonsense talk once again. So, was that the reason why Harper purposely lost the last election because Harper did not want to eventually have to deal with the terrorist Khadr affair? Who would have known?

All of the politicians and their political party's that they belong too who get Canadians involved in wars that they never asked for. If Khadr gets his money then the politicians and their party's should pay him out of their own pockets, not me. I had nothing to do with what went on with Khadr and what he was involved with. Our politicians created this whole mess with Khadr and they should be the ones who may have to pay off Khadr. We have to make these politicians accountable for what they do, and get Canadians involved in. Our politicians are way out of control and dam well do as they please without our permission.

Canada had given haven to a family of terrorists - and now, we're paying? Whose fault was it that Omar Khadr ended up in Guantanamo? It was Canada's fault that we didn't organize with the US for Khadr be returned home to Canada much sooner and punished, or at the very least demand he be confined in a humane US detention facility on American soil under US constitutional law as a Canadian citizen, with the humane treatment and due process of the law that comes with that. Instead our gov was complicit in continuing his inhumane detention & treatment as an "enemy combatant" (which is a label used so the US doesn't have to live up to the Geneva Conventions) in the hellhole that was gitmo. Gitmo is located where it is specifically to avoid US & international law so they can treat the prisoners like hell. Where was his right to habeas corpus? They let him rot in there for far too long without being tried in court. Khadr and his family are a bunch of scumbags, and we can hate them all we want, but we didn't treat Khadr and his case properly. Given he was a child at the time, and was a Canadian citizen, we owed him that much, we owed him the basic legal rights as a prisoner that any mass murderer or rapist or serial pedophile in Canada (or the US) are entitled to. It's sad we have to pay out this scumbag this huge sum, but we're in the wrong here too. Edited July 4, 2017 by Moonlight Graham 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you're born here to foreign parents doesn't make you Canadian, not when you're raised abroad. The Canadian citizenship act needs to be changed to recognize reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
