safe to say she is giving some of are canadian taxpayers $ 10 million to terrorists

Not saying there is no truth to their claim as I do not know but I am just wondering if the line up for big payouts is starting. Will we see a bunch more of this?

Only one of those things seem provable. The first guy, with all the gay slurs emailed to him. If he can produce those emails, he will get paid. The others is all he/said she/said rumors that will be tough to prove.

I can see a bunch of lawsuits coming now. The settlement for Khadr just opened a terrible can of worms, I fear

After the Supreme Courth ruled in Khadr's favour... what was the government supposed to do? He was going to get paid because of their decision and they had almost no choice but to rule in his favour given how our laws are currently written. It then follows that PM Trudeau had almost nothing to do with him getting paid - Khadr was going to get paid, the only question was how much.

I don't understand how you continually chastise us in here for stating our opinions, thoughts or feelings and yet you continually do nothing but the exact same thing.

The Supreme Court said his rights were violated. That has little to do with his lawsuit. That doesn't guarantee a payday and it certainly doesn't guarantee this 30 or 40 million dollar judgement you keep referring to. That's a guess by some people. A thought, an opinion.

Stop shooting down our posts as not factual, when yours aren't either.

We definitely should have seen it through to the end and taken our chances.

Anyone who says he might have been awarded 30 or 40 million is an idiot. If I sue you, and hope to get 30 million, I'm going to sue for 60. If I sue for 60, and I get 120 million, what's the use of suing for a specific amount in the first place? May as well just sue for $10 and let the judge override both sides of the argument.

When (previous) governments ignore our laws and betray the rights of Canadian citizens we all pay. Trudeau saved taxpayers an estimated 30 million by settling on a legal battle pretty much all legal experts said could not be won.

What experts? All talk and speculation. If it had gone to court there's no telling how it would have played out. Tru-doh took the easy way out because he can't stand looking like the bad guy. He also had to rush off for another shoot for some magazine that wants to gush over how good looking he is.

Hey terrorists, move to Canada. We have beautiful scenery if you do get convicted of being a terrorist, we might give you millions of dollars. Easier than winning the lottery.

Was seeking a settlement really the most sensible approach?

Legal experts think so. Cases concerning Khadr have come before the Supreme Court three times. The court found that Canada breached Khadr’s constitutional rights. Carmen Cheung, executive director of the Global Justice Lab at University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, says the breach pertained largely to Khadr’s interrogation by Canadian officials while incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay. “The remedy for that breach has been quite limited,” she said. As a result, Cheung said the government probably felt Khadr’s civil suit was likely to succeed and opted to resolve matters out of court for less money.

So you would rather the government spend three times as much fighting against the rights of one of its citizens and still lose, than compensate a citizen of Canada who had his rights denied while we turned a blind eye to his torture?

that's what good people do, not kill people and get given $10 million

[Ka-El]

Yes. There should be a rule for all combatants in a war zone. Killing people not allowed.

Read this and tell us if you still think giving Kadr $10 million is just.

As a reward for fighting for an enemy organization, he should have had his citizenship status removed and been shipped out to whatever host nation he could arrange. Somalia. Yemen. RSA. Anywhere that would take a stateless ex terrorist fighter.

One way ticket. Take your sister. Take your Al Qaeda financing father, too. And any other hangers on.

Good riddance.

could have and should of been that simple

There basically is not one thing true in what you wrote above. Why am I not surprised.
