Trudeau has ALREADY PAID $10,500,000 to jihad murderer Omar Khadr

41

This circumvents any action by Khadr’s victims’ families to stop the payment. The Trudeau government knew that this would be wildly unpopular, and so they did it under the cover of darkness. Now it should be thrown out of office, if Canadians have any regard for freedom at all.

“Ottawa pays out $10.5-million to Khadr”, by Robert Fife, Globe and Mail, July 6, 2017:

The Trudeau government has quietly paid a $10.5-million settlement to Omar Khadr in a move that circumvents legal efforts by two Americans to prevent him from receiving compensation for abuses he suffered as a teenager at the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The payout to Mr. Khadr and his legal team was given on Wednesday and cashed immediately, according to a source involved in the transaction. Legal settlements do not fall under taxable income, so Mr. Khadr will not have to pay taxes on the $10.5-million.

“I am not in a position to comment,” Mr. Khadr’s Toronto lawyer, John Phillips, said when asked by The Globe and Mail on Thursday to confirm the payment. Justice Department lawyer Barney Brucker also refused comment.

The payment halts efforts by lawyers for the widow of a U.S. Delta Force sergeant and a retired U.S. special forces soldier from seeking an emergency injunction to stop Ottawa from giving the multimillion-dollar settlement to Mr. Khadr and his lawyers.

“The injunction is moot. It is absolutely moot,” University of Ottawa law professor Amir Attaran told The Globe. “Plus, if they are smart, that money is not sitting in Omar Khadr’s name, it is sitting in a trust fund or it is sitting in a corporation or some other structure, and good luck in enforcing against that.”

Tabitha Speer and Layne Morris filed a court application in Toronto in a bid to enforce a $134-million (U.S.) wrongful death judgment against Mr. Khadr that a Utah civil court handed down in 2015. The court ruled that Mr. Khadr threw a grenade that killed Sergeant Christopher Speer, a Delta Force medic, and injured Mr. Morris during a 2002 battle in Afghanistan between U.S. forces and al-Qaeda militants.

The notice of application filed on June 8 in Ontario Superior Court referenced an emergency injunction “if requested” to block any payment of compensation to Mr. Khadr. No court date was requested for an injunction and Mr. Khadr’s lawyers and the federal government were not served with notice of the legal challenge.

Failure to serve the government and Mr. Khadr’s lawyers cleared the way for Ottawa to make the payment to Mr. Khadr, according to a federal insider.

A legal attempt to force the government to take the compensation back from Mr. Khadr would likely be difficult….

Mr. Khadr’s lawyers had filed a $20-million (Canadian) lawsuit against the federal government. Two federal insiders say Ottawa had no choice but to settle with Mr. Khadr because a court case could have cost taxpayers much more than $10.5-million.

Senior federal officials held a meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office on Wednesday afternoon to develop a media strategy for the announcement that will include a written apology to Mr. Khadr.

Officials acknowledged that the Liberal government is concerned about the strong public backlash to the payout on social media, led in part by federal Conservative MPs….

Liberals with their identity politics and naive cries for “diversity” have become the pawns for Jihad and Hijrah. Radical Islam is an archaic, primitive belief system that has resulted in millions of deaths and NO forward advance of cultures it infects.

It’s laughable these “progressives”, who are supposed to want societal progress, want to import these refugees into our country and into the West.

We can no longer afford to house these 3rd world invaders. It’s too risky. America is struggling enough as it is. Most of us are making below living wage and had our health insurance forcefully taken away by Obama. My healthcare is up to $520 per month; compare this to my $25 per month car insurance (from Insurance Panda) or my $10/month life insurance. Both private enterprise (take note, Dems). Do we really want our tax dollars aiding these terrorists?

You can’t coexist with someone who wants to chop your head off.

Where is the American ambassador to Canada? This requires an official response, definitely a court investigation as to the entire procedure. There is too much under the table confidential covering up over this whole thing. It is an international incident, it requires an investigation and legal remedy.

His lawyers will find the way out anyway. It’s time to start investigate his mental status and the stories of his childhood. I’m sure they”ll find by-polar disorder, bulling in his school, the bad quality of the school lunches- sorry if I’ve omitted anything else.

You must know that the Canadian public is just as outraged. A generalized slur against Canadians may be satisfying but don’t forget that not long ago Canada perceived the US under Obama in much the same way.

We both (Canadians and Americans) face the same biases from media, academics and yes, even many of Trump’s key people.

As a Canadian, the Conservatives lost by only a couple of percentage points. Canada’s experience is by no means unique to Canada, and the US is certainly not out of the woods as we can see by the “resistance”, a military term not normally used by any kind of loyal opposition.

The MSM in Canada used a years-long propaganda campaign to skew the publics’ opinion of the previous PM – the only one in the Western world at that time to identify Islam as Canada’s greatest threat – and it wasn’t global warming like all the others. And Trudeau and his radical cabal as a result squeaked in by a couple of percent.

Extremely well said. It’s hard to believe that so many people bought into that propaganda and did not see what trudeau really was. We have way too many hard core liberals in this country. What can you do? This is a democracy. We’re getting the crappy end of the democracy stick at the moment.

Is Trudeau paying terrorists any different than Obama giving the Iranians 150 billion? Most of the soldiers killed in Iraq died by IEDs conveniently provided by Obama’s good friends the Iranians. Liberals always will sell out their own nations to attempt to appease criminal nations.

The DNC should be able to take care of this issue the same way they take care of internal “problems”. Perhaps an arrangement can be made where Omar is the victim of a failed mugging, or have a weight set crush his neck, or his body wash up on a Florida beach, or found with a pillow over his head, or suicide, or a plane crash that somehow left a bullet hole in the victim’s head. There is an endless list of “accidents” that Dems have an ops plan that has already worked without any trace of any a crime, let alone who they hired for the hit.

Canadians with a sense of morality and what is right condemn Trudeau and his Liberal party of Islamic apologists. He will be thrown to the curb in disgrace in 2019.
