Trudeau talks to Every Day Canadians in Countrywide Town Halls

[mentalfloss]

I laughed hard when a young gal asked Trudeau “I was just curious as to how you feel about being the first prime minister being found guilty of a federal crime?”

Yea, she's wrong.

Trudeau wasn't charged with any crime.

 

[Decapoda]

The supreme Court ruled that Canada was complicit in n the torture of the boy

Nope...they only ruled his rights were violated when CSIS handed the interrogation information over to the US. It was determined in a subsequent ruling that Canada had a duty to protect Khadr, referring to denial of his legal rights, but did not order the Government to seek his repatriation.

As much as you want to believe that Canada owes this terrorist something, nothing was determined in court so we will never know what he was or wasn't legally entitled to, only what Trudeau was willing to pay to shut him up.

I see my question has embarrassed pgs and confused Pete. Can't say I'm surprised.

Quoting yourself? Well, it's a change from the usual.

Baby steps.

Remember the little engine that could.

But they never got to rule on financial compensation, if any and exactly who in Canada was complicit because trudOWE short circuited the process for political gain. At taxpayer's expense.

There are 3 prime ministers who are responsible for Kadr and Trudeau is not one of them - so congrats on that. Nice work.

Omar Khadr Case

Omar Khadr’s millions: The fight for financial damages

At the heart of the looming litigation is a $10-million lawsuit filed back in 2004, alleging numerous Charter breaches at the hands of Canadian officials who flew to Cuba to grill the Toronto-born teen in the early days of his detention. At first glance, the statement of claim appeared destined to fail. Khadr was in American custody, not Canadian, so how could his Charter rights have possibly been breached? But one decade and two Supreme Court decisions later, the suit suddenly seems unbeatable. Twice already, the country’s highest court has scolded Ottawa for stomping on Khadr’s constitutional rights.

When he was first apprehended, less than a year after 9/11, Khadr was held at a U.S. military hospital in Bagram. Unable to secure a consular visit, Foreign Affairs bureaucrats pleaded with their U.S. counterparts not to transfer him to Cuba, citing his tender age and Gitmo’s notorious lack of due process. The Americans sent him there anyway. At the time, Khadr’s father, Ahmed Said, was still very alive and very wanted, a reputed al-Qaeda financier fingered for his ties to Osama bin Laden by both the U.S. and the UN. And although Washington considered his son an “enemy combatant” out of reach of consular access, it did permit “intelligence” visits. CSIS was granted permission to interview him in February 2003, six months after his capture; an official from the Foreign Affairs intelligence branch was allowed to hitch along for the ride.

said Khadr’s abuse allegations “did not ring true.” CSIS, for the record, considered the visit “highly successful.” (Seven months later, in September 2003, CSIS made a second trip to Guantánamo, this time without a diplomat. Again, Khadr claimed his previous confessions about his family’s al-Qaeda connections were false, the result of “torture.” When asked to describe the abuse he endured, Khadr told CSIS: “Listening to other people scream.”)
It was those CSIS trips that triggered Khadr’s lawsuit in early 2004, alleging Canadian spies questioned him without advising him of his basic rights to silence and legal representation—knowing full well his answers would be shared with U.S. authorities, who were weighing potential criminal charges. When Khadr was finally charged in late 2005, his legal team filed another Federal Court action, demanding access to the fruits of those CSIS interviews. An epic fight over Khadr’s Charter rights, separate from the lawsuit, had begun.

In May 2008, after two divided lower court rulings, the Supreme Court sided with Khadr—for the first time. By then, America’s highest court had already ruled that Guantánamo, circa 2003, was an illegal operation where inmates had no right to challenge their incarceration. “To the extent that Canada has participated in that process,” the Supreme Court ruled, “it has a constitutional duty to disclose information obtained by that participation to a Canadian citizen whose liberty is at stake.”

Armed with that discovery, Khadr’s lawyers went back to court, arguing yet another Charter breach and demanding Harper request his repatriation. The Supreme Court would not go quite that far, but it did conclude—again—that Canada violated his rights. Knowingly questioning a sleep-deprived teenager, the court concluded, “violates the principles of fundamental justice” and “offends the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects.”

Trudeau keeps getting heckled at these town halls.

He's not used to being challenged and his strident replies and aloof demeanor just add credibility to the notion that he's a silver spooner/ entitled elitist.

I see Pete and pgs are the only ones to take issue with the question.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Twin Moose,

Yes. I'm sure the RCMP will screen the next gathering so Trudeau will get asked the tough questions like, "What do you and Sophie have for dinner?"

 

[Hoid]

Boy . Good send him to juvenile detention .Making explosive devices and throwing grenades are illegal in Canuckistan .

regardless.

They is no way to justify torture under Canadian law. It is illegal without regard to whom is being tortured or why.

Trudeau was not Prime Minister during the Kadr Affair.

Cretien/Martin/Harper were. These three are responsible for his confinement and torture and should answer for it to the law.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Hoid,

You've been torturing us for months with your opinionated drivel. Now do the right thing, and turn yourself over to the authorities.

 

[Hoid]

And changing venues until he finds the crowd he needs this time at a university and the RCMP remove the critics

why would he do that when he scores such big points when he makes the hecklers look like you?

No one in the real world actually thinks this.

Yea, these town halls are great for the optics.

People are literally gushing over him because of these and it makes Scheer look cowardly and hypocritical.

mentalfloss,

You're categorically wrong. You've insulated yourself with Lefty dogma to the point where common sense is a struggle for you.

God save the Queen... get it. :lol:

Hoof Hearted,

[Hoof Hearted]

Is there an echo in here?

 

[Jinentonix]

Yea, she's wrong.

No, she's right. She never said he was charged. Trudeau IS guilty of violating federal law however. But of course since you've been so busy blowing Trudeau since Day 1, you can't bring yourself to admit you support a crook in office. Two actually when you add in the Wynned Bag.
So it appears that despite your constant little bitch whining about the morals and ethics of those on the right, you have no problem with corrupt, inept, pedophile supporting, lying sacks of shit in office, as long as they're on your side of the political spectrum and "saving the world" from logic, reasoning, common sense and democracy.
