This is a silly and disingenuous piece for people averse to fact. Trudeau has really nothing to do with any of this. Khadr is being compensated for the combined actions and inactions of the Chretien, Martin and Harper governments and what Khadr does with the money is his own business. Moreover, whatever Khadr did or didn't do is also irrelevant — he is compensated for the Canadian government's failure to protect the Charter rights of a citizen. Period. If the Canadian public thinks that the government should take better care of Canada's military veterans, they should take that up with the government of Canada as an issue worthy of serious discussion and not merely as a beside-the-point, cynical and hypocritical Conservative talking point used to whip up animus towards Khadr and Muslims.
