Too long and boring to read
Immigration's good.
Parrot! say the same thing over again! Without getting a cracker either!
Here is an article describing an issue that ALL LIE-berals wish would go far away! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Dad of dead soldier wants sit-down with PM
By Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun. First posted: Friday, August 04, 2017 03:39 PM EDT | Updated: Friday, August 04, 2017 06:28 PM EDT
Pte. Kevin McKay died while serving in Afghanistan in 2010, after an improvised explosive device blew up. His father, Fred McKay, has sent a letter requesting a sit-down with Prime Minister Trudeau after he heard about the Omar Khadr settlement.
He had time to oversee Omar Khadr’s $10.5-million pay out and apology. Time for foreign superstars Bono and The Edge on Canada Day and the Aga Khan for Christmas in the Bahamas. He also had to time to boast about his political acumen to Rolling Stone Magazine.
What Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not had time to do is respond to the father of a fallen Canadian soldier in Afghanistan who can’t believe Khadr – similar to a teen who killed his son – is made a millionaire while the lives of their victims’ families remain shattered.
“I feel Khadr committed treason and should be tried for it,” said Fred McKay. “ I sent Prime Minister (Justin) Trudeau a letter July 7- through his office's Facebook page- and I have not heard back.”
(And I would not advise holding your breath while waiting for THAT answer!)
McKay, a 32-year district chief for Toronto Fire Services, said regardless, he and his wife and family will never get over what happened May 13, 2010, when two soldiers stopped by his house to tell him his 24-year-old son, Kevin, was killed.
Pte. Kevin McKay, a member of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Unit (PPCLI), stepped on an improvised explosive device and was killed instantly.
“We had just raised a toast to Kevin finishing his tour and being inside the wire at Kandahar Air Field, sipping a beer, waiting to come home,” said the elder McKay. “Instead, I jumped into a van towards my wife’s work- to tell her the news- and break her heart.”
He was supposed to be home, but a volcano meant the skies were not able to handle flights, so Kevin’s team was delayed.
“Rather than skip a day of patrol and give the Taliban a window to plant explosives, they decided to not put the incoming team at risk,” said Fred. “It was supposed to be Kevin’s last patrol there.”
It was.
He stepped out of a house they were sweeping onto an IED planted under the stairs – a blast so powerful, it severely wounded two other soldiers who are still recovering.
“I’ll tell you, it was a punch in the face,” said McKay. “Worst moment in my lifetime.”
But this summer’s bizarre $10.5-million Khadr government settlement and apology became too close to home for McKay and brought it all back to the forefront.
“I mean what the hell?” said McKay. “I don’t mean to be crass, but, really? Paying and apologizing for a Canadian working with the enemy and building IEDs to kill our people?”
(LIE-berals have exposed their poisoned thinking and grossly twisted political values with the Khadr Krap! Cdns generally accept that Omar Khadr was a child soldier- just 15 when his father took him to Afghanistan to make bombs for the Taliban. Clearly his father persuaded all of his sons to become Jihadists- with one son now dead, one badly crippled for life, and filthy rich Omar. Cdns feel that if Omar has been badly treated, then he should complain to his mother- who encouraged her hubby and kids to become Jihadists.)
(There is some reason to question how Yankees treated Jihadists they captured but it is not a Cdn responsibility to fuss over people who have turned traitor and decided to fight against Canada. We point out that Omar is ALIVE today because Yankee medical staff saved his life after he was wounded while KILLING Yankees!)
(The latest news is that Omar feels his bail conditions are too restrictive and that he should have more freedom. WE Cdns feel Omar should shut up and be bloody grateful we do not ship him back to Afghanistan and LEAVE HIM THERE WITH HIS COMRADES IN ARMS and WITHOUT HIS $10 million award! Omar Khadr is a walking, talking, constant condemnation of LIE-beral values and his $10 million dollar award is a life long INSULT to Cdn tax payers!)
Fred McKay wrote six people about the settlement, including three members of parliament: John Brassard (Barrie-Innisfil), Bruce Stanton (Simcoe-North) and Larry Miller (Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound), who all wrote back. As did Aaron Wudrick of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and legendary Toronto Sun journalist Mark Bonokoski. McKay also wrote Trudeau. The only one to not get back to him was the prime minister.
(Is this any surprise that Our idiot Boy Justin has no words for McKay? Just what would Our idiot say? Other than offer up condolences regarding the fact that Kevin McKay died in defense of what Pierre Trudeau called “Cdn Imperialism” Its worth recalling that Pierre Trudope referred to the war against Nazi Germany as “British Imperialism”! And Our idiot boy spoke with admiration of his regard for bloody handed Cuban dictator Castro- until Our idiot Boy got mocked so badly for his foolishness that he no longer speaks his mind. Our idiot Boy also spoke of his “admiration for the way Red Chinese Communists get things done” but he quit talking about that after being relentlessly mocked for his foolishness. And Sacha Trudope also wrote of his friendship with Castro until a National Post writer lampooned him so badly he also fell silent and ceased to tell us what his real feeling were! And Sacha has been burned in other ways as well- for instance, he no longer acknowledges is part in making anti Yankee and anti Israel propaganda films along with Iranian Mullahs!)
(The Trudeau clan is NOT one to turn to for help in defending any sort of democratic values that the average Cdn would recognize! Trudope values are such that Our idiot Boy might as well be a Martian since he has so little in common with McKay!)
He asked Trudeau: since it was a 15-year-old solider similar to Khadr who planted the bomb that stole Kevin, “am I to believe that, should these bomb maker’s families come forward with a lawyer, our Canadian government would apologize and compensate them to the tune of $10 million?”
(Our idiot Boy restored funding to terror group Hamas as one of his early acts after being elected. And given the remakrs Our idiot Boy has made about Isis and about the Boston City Marathon bombers- it seems clear to me that Our idiot Boy WOULD shovel in Cdn cash to our enemies if he thought he could get away without losing too many votes! It looks to me as if Pierre Trudope taught his sons to carry on the fight against “Cdn Imperialism” and part of that fight involves SCORNING anybody who thinks it is wrong to give Omar Khadr a PENNY!)
McKay (pronounced McEye) told Trudeau, “By the way, we received $90,000 from the government when we lost our son, a far cry from the $360,000 maximum. We were told we were receiving that particular sum because Kevin was single and had no dependants, and we accepted that reasoning.”
The mourning father is “not asking for more money” because “Kevin was a soldier and he went off to war and we all knew that he might be killed or wounded.”
But the dad says his objective is to have parliament ask Trudeau to have “Khadr tried for treason since he is seen on video building IEDS while being a Canadian citizen.”
I agree with McKay on this and e-mailed the PMO Friday to try to facilitate contact between he and Trudeau.
Eleanore Catenaro promptly replied, “Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we don’t foresee an opportunity for you to sit down with the PM due to his busy schedule. I’m adding my colleague Sarah and Rob from Minister (Kent) Hehr’s office here if you would like an official comment on behalf of the government, as it falls under their purview.”
(Busy schedule? If Hell froze over and Our idiot Boy got stuck in the ice he would STILL NOT have time for such as McKay!)
If only I worked for Rolling Stone and if only McKay’s son had been the guy building the bombs instead of being killed by one.
Maybe then there would be some time in Prime Minister Trudeau’s busy schedule.
