Thank you, that supports what I had said. It comes down to that if the money "disappears", she has only herself and her legal team to blame. Since there is no judgement in Canada, no one in Canada including and especially the Government, has the right to "hold" the money in question. Blaming the Government of Canada is only showing ones ignorance.


There are multiple sources that commented on the speed and secrecy in which Khadr case was summarily dismissed, settled and executed

Ah yes. The uncontested award. Uncontested because Khadr was in custody. So, the timing of the announcement goes hand in hand with the timing of the award. Plus, Spear had ample time to apply to the Canadian courts to "garnishee" any income that Khadr would get in the future. She chose not too. So sad, too bad.

and again, nothing to do with the States. Spear and company have a stake, the U'S' does not.




The suit and award is concerning Canada breaching his rights. Read up on it. I'm tired of supplying links to the reasons for the suit and why Canada lost previous court cases concerning this.

Well if you have time to post links, id sure apreciate it. Almost every time a scum bag is detained in another country their rights are probably violated. That is why we repatriate them. But it takes time, and simply knowing that their rights are being violated is not 'cooperating'.

Additionally, it is my understanding that omar recanted his original confessions and left his legal dealings witb the US unsettled for many years until his final plea in 2013 which led to his repatriation. My point is You can not expect canada to repatriate anyone until the country(the US in this case) is far enough along in their legal process that they are willing to allow the prisoner to be shipped home. To me, it sounds like omar was his worse enemy and should have signed anything to get back to canada. If he had done this sooner, would canada have refused him? I DOUBT IT.

The US plaintiff or her representatives in Canada can't go after the settlement money, Employment Insurance payments, Old Age Security benefits, Pension benefits, and usually any disability benefits issued by provincial Workplace Safety and Insurance Boards or Disability Support Programs.

Whether or not Khadr is guilty is irrelevant. Canada and the US were invading armies, there under false pretenses. The governments of both countries are guilty of crimes against humanity.

Here’s why Omar Khadr is getting $10M from the Canadian government | Globalnews.ca

Why will Omar Khadr receive $10.5M? Because the Supreme Court ruled his rights were violated - Politics - CBC News


Nothing to do with repatriation.... guilt or innocence...... The Supreme court found that CANADA violated his human rights.

I propose a "Canadianness scale" to determine whether or not the government should lift a finger to help you if you're in trouble overseas.

I propose the following criteria:

White - 25 points
Monoglot English - 25 points
Bilingual English/French - 20 points
Monoglot French - 10 points
Speak any language other than English or French - negative 20 points
Each generation of your ancestors born in Canada - 10 points
Nominal Protestant - 25 points
Nominal Catholic - 15 points
Nominal agnostic or atheist - 5 points
Any other religion - minus 15 points
Each hockey jersey you own - 10 points
Each hockey jersey you own of a Canadian team - 25 points

Each citizen in trouble will be graded on the scale, with government resources going help the highest rated.

Great start. Gotta add -50 points for being 'Merican.

And the big question of the day should the returnees from ISIS be just given $20 million just to one up Kahdr

Ottawa may have no choice but to repatriate, prosecute captured Canadian ISIL members: experts
Actually, they do have a choice. Do what France is doing. France sent some special forces to the region with pictures of French "citizens" who joined up with ISIL. The intent is to try and hunt them down to prevent them returning to France. There's no intent to repatriate them.
Quite simply, if you betray the country you claim citizenship for to go fight on the same side as their enemy, then you are no longer a citizen of that country, period. You've clearly made your choice and chosen your allegiance. Why the hell would we want them back?? To prove how genuinely f*cking stupid we are?

And now, some stupid motherf*cker thinks it's our responsibility to "repatriate" the children of the plastic Canadian women who went to join ISIL despite their kids not even being born here.

The compensation and apology come after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2010 that Canadian intelligence officials obtained evidence from Khadr under “oppressive circumstances,” such as sleep deprivation, during*in

Leave it to the media to be vague about the important points. This is pretty much the only informative sentence in the link that you provided.

If this truly the only information available, i would have fun pointing out that someone got 10.5 million for some sleepless nights.

Ottawa may have no choice but to repatriate, prosecute captured Canadian ISIL members: experts

from the article

The French government, for one, has already said that Iraq’s court system, not France’s, should judge one of its nationals captured recently near Mosul, noted Phil Gurski, a former Canadian Security Intelligence Service analyst.

“Does the Canadian government have a legal, let alone a moral, responsibility to act on these people’s behalf? I think the answer is ‘No,’ ” said the head of the Borealis consulting company. “They made a conscious decision to leave this country and to join a group that everyone and his dog knows is a terrorist group … ‘It sucks to be you; live with it.’ ”

I agree with what France is doing. Let the Iraqi courts judge the Canadians that went to join ISIS, the adults that went there and made a conscious decision to join ISIS should face the music in Iraq.
