There is a terrifying pattern in Canada now. In addition to rewarding jihadist Omar Khadr $10,500,000, leaving Canadians stunned, this message ended up in my inbox from a concerned Canadian citizen: “I can’t believe this was from March and no one remembers ever hearing about it. This would have caused quite the uproar, but somehow we missed it”: “Federal government reaches settlement with 3 Canadian men tortured in Syria and Egypt.”
Well, here is an excerpt from that article, which many Canadians may have missed:
After months of on and off negotiations, the federal government has reached a settlement with three Canadian men as compensation for the role Canadian officials played in their torture in Syria and Egypt.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a statement Friday saying that with the settlement and an apology from government, the civil case involving Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Abou-Elmaati and Muayyed Nureddin was now closed….
“On behalf of the government of Canada, we wish to apologize to Mr. Almalki, Mr. Abou-Elmaati and Mr. Nureddin, and their families, for any role Canadian officials may have played in relation to their detention and mistreatment abroad and any resulting harm,” the statement said.
“Our clients are gratified to have received an apology from the highest level of the Canadian government,” Phil Tunley, a lawyer representing the three men, told CBC News in an emailed statement. “They and their families are pleased that their long legal ordeal is over.”…
Ten years ago, they each filed $100-million lawsuits against the government but temporarily halted their legal proceedings to allow former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci to conduct an internal inquiry. In his 2008 report, Iacobucci concluded that Canadian officials were indirectly responsible for their torture.
In case you read this through too quickly: they each filed lawsuits demanding $100,000,000, and they were actually paid an unknown sum of taxpayer dollars without taxpayers actually knowing what was going on. To read the full article, click HERE.
Canada still has not yet recovered from the grand payout of $10,500,000 to jihad killer Omar Khadr (accompanied by a government apology), and the fact that the well-being of Khadr’s American victims of jihad terror were completely disregarded also has Americans justifiably incensed:
“This story is repulsive,” said a Fox News host. To which former pizza entrepreneur and presidential candidate Herman Cain replied: “It is a pathetic interpretation of the law. Canada basically rewarded a murderer.”
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Omar Alghabra, who once “led an organization that opposed the designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization” and “supported sharia law for Ontario,” attended the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) 44th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers to learn how to advance “core values, including human rights, freedom, democratic governance and the rule of law” in Canada. So now the OIC, which is comprised of many human rights-violating nations that adhere to sharia norms, is teaching Canada. Canada is in deep trouble.
On a personal note, I am now being called up and taken aside by “certain folk” associated with the Canadian government with regard to my commitment to informing the public about the truth of what is going on. Human rights, democratic freedoms and equality of rights for all remain core concepts of all free nations, and every Canadian should enjoy these rights and freedoms. Those serving in the public sector should particularly honor these values as a matter of course. It is alarming to witness recent developments in Canada, from “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103 to the reckless paying-out of taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars to jihad terrorists, with little to no accountability to Canadian citizens. The Canadian Press article below discusses the ongoing uproar on both sides of the border over the payout to Omar Khadr. Now, with Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Abou-Elmaati and Muayyed Nureddin in the mix, Canadians should be demanding to know just how much was paid out to these men, and all the specifics of this shady case.
“Fox News slams Khadr payout,” by Alexander Panetta, Canadian Press, July 17, 2017:
WASHINGTON — The federal payout to Omar Khadr was a big story in some conservative U.S. media outlets Monday, after nearly two weeks in which it had garnered barely a whisper south of the border.
It was the subject of a condemnatory national newspaper column; the top story on the Fox News website; fodder for cable-news chatter on Fox; and a huge surge in interest by Americans online.
“This story is repulsive,” said a Fox News host. To which former pizza entrepreneur and presidential candidate Herman Cain replied: “It is a pathetic interpretation of the law. Canada basically rewarded a murderer.”
The burst of attention started with a Wall Street Journal piece by a Canadian opposition MP.
Conservative Peter Kent published a scorching op-ed titled, “A Terrorist’s Big Payday, Courtesy of Trudeau,” that helped the story gain traction elsewhere.
The item began with a description of Khadr killing an American army medic, Christopher Speer, when he was 15 years old and fighting alongside al-Qaida in Afghanistan. It explained how Khadr won a court fight in Canada over how he was treated by Canadian intelligence officials while detained at Guantanamo Bay, was repatriated to Canada, released on bail and sued the Canadian government for $20 million for violating his rights.
The Ontario MP criticized the Trudeau government for settling with Khadr, while the victim’s family got nothing.
By Monday afternoon the issue was the No. 1 story on the Fox News website.
The Fox News item quotes Kent’s op-ed under the headline: “Gitmo Lottery: Canada makes millionaire out of terrorist who killed U.S. soldier.”
Google searches for Khadr’s name were up more than 700% Monday in the United States from the previous day, according to Google Trends.
The Fox News panel featuring Herman Cain didn’t delve too deeply into the fine points of the legal case. But one panellist raised the possibility that there was more to the story: “This is obviously a disgusting story,” she said. “But what do you do? Is there any other option under the law?”
Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Khadr issue had not come up in any meetings with U.S. state governors during a conference in Rhode Island.
But after Kent’s newspaper critique, Trudeau aide Gerald Butts tweeted: “A long (Conservative Party of Canada) tradition of airing Canadian disputes in the Wall Street Journal. It’s where Stephen Harper advocated for joining the Iraq War.”…..

i hope Trudopes actions lead to the destruction of the LIE beral party of Canada
mortimer says
He and his party lied to the voters by claiming they would be transparent and not take away freedoms.
mortimer says
Canadians did not realize and were not told that the Liberals were plotting to Islamize Canada without the consent of the people.
This hidden agenda will be deeply resented. The philosophical contradiction between real liberalism (the search for reason-based freedom) and authoritarian, obscurantist, medieval Islam could not be greater!
The Liberal Party leader supports a gay festival while wearing socks that advertise Sharia law. Meanwhile, in Chechnya, Iran and Saudi Arabia, gays and lesbians are hunted, locked up, tortured and murdered horribly and the smug Liberals say nothing about the atrocities done to them. They are self-refuting hypocrites. The only principles they have are to raise taxes, suck from the tough and hand lots of tax-payer money as interest payments to their bankster bosses.
The mega-rich traitor class has decided to eliminate Western civilization and Western people will be defeated by them and the Muslims if they do not wake up.
Anti-jihad says
Trudeau is a sneaky Islamist. He is not interested in ordinary Canadian citizens. He’s interested in furthering his own elite globalist agenda.
Manny says
The Khadir and now this story has made my blood boil. I have never seem such an outrage. These were killers who took arms and killed Americans. To be so rewarded is beyond belief. I am spitting mad over this.
Santa Voorhees says
To me, the Canadian government is a terrorist organization, period.
I would expect such things from Isis and the like, certainly not from a western country.
Lucia Bartoli says
Okay give these asses the $$ but only w/ condition they publicly present it to the vistim’s family – Every. Last. Penny.
Abbasid says
Well it looks like to two Canadian ISIS girls captured in Mosul are going to be wealthy soon, I am sure their charter rights have been violated.
R Cole says
Justin Trudeau is pro jihadi and proud!!
He stated before he was elected that any Muslim immigrant convicted of terrorism would not have their Canadian citizenship revoked under his leadership.

US officials will have to be particularly vigilant at that Candian border. Because clearly, Trudeau has a different measure for who is a terrorist. If someone wanted to carry out a terrorist attack and wanted to come to America but couldn’t, the quickest way is to immigrate to Canada. Lie low for a few years. And then make your way across the border, as a tourist.

Surprisingly, Canada has taken action on at least one of their imams calling for the deaths of Jews and non-Muslims from their mosques!! If there was a non-Muslim calling for the deaths of Muslims, Trudeau would have personally seen they were arrested and charged. SInce it’s Muslims, I think he feels Canadians should, in fact, be more tolerant of this kind of thing.

Islamophobia laws and the imposition of the Sharia
It’s all an indication that Canada’s Islamophobia laws are in fact religious laws based on the Islamic sharia. Under which non-Muslims are not allowed to question or speak truthfully about Islam [when it doesn’t further Islam’s cause]. Canada’s Islamophobia laws enforce deference, that would be expected of a non-Muslim living in a Muslim nation, under the sharia. We already have an understanding that, that free speech should not include incitement to violence. Where on the one hand the Muslim faithful is free, to hear, kill the Jews and non-Muslims in their mosques. If you said, there’s a problem with the Islamic religion in Canada, you would be charged with that Islamophobia law. [If you similarly complained about Christianity there would be no charge.]
Clearly, we are witnessing the introduction of Islamic sharia laws, where it is not only Muslim women who find themselves at a disadvantage, but non-Muslims. The only difference is that Muslim women view their lower status as a means to an end, and for the most part accept or agree to it and are willing to work within its confines. However, for the non-Muslims, it is a violation of their human right to hold equal citizenship and have equal representation under the law.
Lefties like Trudeau think they are doing Muslims a favor, with the introduction of Islamophobia or Islamic blasphemy-type laws [and other grovelling apologies for being free.] But what they don’t realize is that this would be what is expected of them, if Canada were to come under sharia rule.

“On a personal note, I am now being called up and taken aside by “certain folk” associated with the Canadian government with regard to my commitment to informing the public about the truth of what is going on.” This carefully coded phrase is very concerning. It sounds like somebody is trying scare you. It also sounds like there are people in our own government who are against truth and the freedom to speak it.Of course we know that the Trudeau government is infested with such types. I hope you have good legal counsel. If it gets worse, let us know so we can set up a Go Fund Me page for your legal expenses. And oh, btw: Have you considered doing reporting for RebelMedia? It would be good to have such an organization at your back. Seems they take care of their own.

So, from the tone of this article, and the fact-free content one could assume
that JW approves of torture, irrespective of guilt or innocence.
From the CBC article
” Canadian law enforcement officials not only knew three Canadians were being tortured in Syrian jails in a post-9/11 crackdown but also co-operated with Syrian officials in their interrogations. ”
That is plenty enough reason for compensation.. There was a “false confession” in there too,,
this is one of the least reasons torture is of little value.
This is like the Maher Arar case, another innocent who got compensation.
And what do I think? I wouldn’t give quite so much compensation,, I believe in the golden rule,
and an eye for an eye,, those guilty of torturing innocents and their superiors would get
exactlty what they had meted out, and maybe a little more. That would quickly solve the problem
gravenimage says
What a load of crap.
Tell us why Canadian taxpayers should be paying a Muslim who murdered American allies?
dt says
Excuse me,, who did these 3 murder? I must have missed something.
You seem very fixated on Omar Kahdr, have you thought of seeking psychiatric help?
But I forget, you seem to approve of torture, so, business as usual
Tom says
It is plain to me that Trudeau is one sneaky slimy politician and not fit to even shine the shoes of most Canadians never mind be the Prime Minister of our great country.
Thank you all who voted for this cretin for you have personally assisted in the demise of a nation that once valued freedom of thought and speech.
You are responsible for the future killing of our gay friends and for the criminalizing of Canadians who stand up to Trudeau and his wanna be communist dictatorship.

Canada: Not just Omar Khadr, but three other Muslims received massive payments and government apologies
………………………
Worse and worse. I feel bad for all patriotic Canadians.
John Forbes says
MUSLIM JUSTIN is in the PAY & POCKETS of GEORGE SOROS & the SAUDI WAHABI factions & is a supporter of not only BLASPHEMY LAWS & the end of FREE SPEECH !
Most of CANADA seems unaware !!!
He also supports the INTRODUCTION of ISLAMIC TEACHINGS in PUBLICALLY funded schools !
His support for BLASPHEMY LAWS ( starting with M-103 motion ) & making the vague & BOGUS term ISLAMOPHOBIA hot only threatens free speech but OPENS the door for the INTRODUCTION of SHARIA !
STILL if an election was held TOMORROW – MUSLIM JUSTIN would win HANDS DOWN
Scorpio says
This has become a racket aided and abetted by the Liberals. Canadian passports clearly state that should you find yourself in trouble in a number of designated countries (all of the ones the Liberals are eager to reward individuals who have ignored this proviso) do not expect the Canadian government to extract you or help you in any way. Yet, repeated violations of this proviso were ignored by the Liberals, and individuals who blithely ignored this warning and did get themselves in trouble were eagerly awarded huge sums of money “for their trouble.” Disgusting!

Treasonous TRUDEAU:
Breaking news- Trudeau is looking to sell Canada’s airports – probably to China.
https://www.spencerfernando.com/2017/07/19/trudeau-planning-sell-canadas-airports-china/
America – DO NOT trust Trudeau or any of his Government members. NAFTA is coming up and if Trudeau sells the airports and harbors to China, you will have a communist dictatorship right next door with complete access to a wide open border. The Chinese could disrupt world aviation simply by closing the major airports which could also become bases for the Chinese military.
With China controlling the aviation transportation industry, you can be guaranteed that they will secure the airports and harbours with thousands of Chinese soldiers.
It isn’t much of a step to imagine Canada as a Liberal Muslim sharia jihadist hellhole, owned by China. Could their intention be to eventually invade America?
UNCLE VLADDI says
Like all criminals, libertine liberals insist that they alone should always have rights without responsibilities, while everyone else should only have the responsibility to be and remain their slaves.
common sense guy says
Human rights should not be a law, rather it should be a moral guide. By making it a law, allows anyone who is on trial to cry abuse, if they are not proven guilty. This is very destructive as it makes pursuit of justice impotent as there will be much less tendency to prosecute an alleged offense. khadr should have been grateful that he was saved by international relations, but instead took advantage of Canadian well intended moral ethics law to be rewarded for murder. This law should be rescinded.
Richard Courtemanche says
“On behalf of the government of Canada, we wish to apologize to Mr. Almalki, Mr. Abou-Elmaati and Mr. Nureddin, and their families, for any role Canadian officials MAY have played in relation to their detention and mistreatment abroad and any resulting harm,” the statement said.
“…may have played…” meaning they’re not sure and still payed???
Mark Rattek Ratte says
Remember that Canada is broke. Any money paid to these four, and Lord knows how many others we haven’t found out about, has to be borrowed from the International bankers with interest. The amount we owe will probably never be paid off. How can Canadians be so stupid to continue to support the Liberals?

Canadiens you are stupid.giving 100 mio dollors þo terrorists. That is stupid. Got it. Stupid.You are a stupid group of people.
