The decision to pay Canadian jihadist Omar Khadr $10.5 million of the hard-earned money of Canadian taxpayers is being opposed by two victims of his jihad.
The woman made a widow by al-Qaida terrorist Omar Khadr and a soldier blinded by the grenade Khadr threw are seeking to stop the Trudeau government from paying the former Gitmo detainee $10.5 million in “compensation.”
Two years ago, an American judge in Utah awarded $134.2 million in damages to Tabitha Speer (the widow of Sgt. Chris Speer) and Layne Morris in their lawsuit against Khadr. The plaintiffs had little to no expectations of ever receiving the money, but deemed the judge’s verdict to be more of a statement. But now that the Canadian government has decided to pay Khadr $10.5 million for being interrogated under “oppressive circumstances” and also to apologize to this jihadist criminal, Speer is now filing an emergency injunction to stop the payout to Khadr. Speer and Morris are:
expected to ask the Ontario Superior Court… to honor a 2015 Utah civil court order that demanded Khadr pay them $134 million.
Canadians should be outraged (and many are) that their money is being handed over — without their permission — to Khadr. The twisted thinking that is manifested in awarding millions to a murderous jihadi who inflicted untold suffering upon innocent people is one reason why jihadists claim so many victories in their war against the West.
Let’s hope that Ontario Superior Court will rule in favour of the victims of jihad terror.
“Widow And Wounded Veteran Want Payment Stopped To Killer Khadr”, by David Krayden, Daily Caller, July 5, 2017:
The woman made a widow by al-Qaida terrorist Omar Khadr and a soldier blinded by the grenade Khadr threw are seeking to stop the Trudeau government from paying the former Gitmo detainee $10.5 million in “compensation.”
The Liberal government is also expected to offer a formal apology to Khadr. (RELATED: Killer Of U.S. Soldier To Get Apology And $10 Million From Trudeau Government)
Tabitha Speer, widow of Sgt. Christopher Speer, and Layne Morris are expected to ask the Ontario Superior Court on Wednesday to honor a 2015 Utah civil court order that demanded Khadr pay them $134 million.
“They are trying to get an emergency injunction in a Canadian court to have their award in the United States enforced in Canada,” The Globe and Mail is reporting an unnamed source as saying. “Their desire is to have U.S. courts enforced in Canada, which would mean that any money that goes to Mr. Khadr would go to them.”
Because of the cross-border jurisdictions, it is unlikely that Khadr’s victims will ever see any of the money.
Khadr’s lawyer, Dennis Edney, told the Globe and Mail that he could make no comment on the issue because “that is the arrangement with the government.”
The former Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper took a hard line on Khadr, refusing to recognize him as a “child soldier” as much of the Canadian media now describes the man who pled guilty to murder.
Harper’s successor, Conservative opposition leader Andrew Scheer, has condemned the potential pay-out to Khadr. He took to Twitter on Tuesday to say, “Canadians know this is wrong. If Omar Khadr is truly sorry for what he did, he’ll give every cent to Tabitha Speer and her two children.” Scheer did not respond to requests from The Daily Caller for further comment.
The Supreme Court of Canada has denounced Khadr’s interrogation at the hands of both Canadian and American authorities…..
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has refused to either confirm or deny the apology and payment to Khadr, obliquely referring to a “judicial process underway…is coming to its conclusion.”
An email from the Conservative Party of Canada to supporters was not so vague:
“Omar Khadr took the life of a husband and a father, and now the Liberal government wants to reward him with tens of millions of your dollars.
“Khadr is only alive today because of the medical treatment he received from U.S. forces after he killed one of their comrades.
“And now, thanks to Justin Trudeau, he will be one of the wealthiest men in Canada.”
Dave says
Left/Liberal Loons have bought and sold the “Islam is religion of peace” while ignoring the history of jihad and the present active ongoing jihadi attacks .
John Lloyd Scharf says
NOT A PROBLEM. These citizens should sue Omar Khadr for $21 million. If Canadian citizens are ignorant enough to elect these as their representatives, then the money they give away to their enemies should come back to the citizens who are abused FIRST. After all, Canadian dollars are just loons anyway. Look at the picture on their metal dollars.
Guy Macher says
Good. This murdering barbarian should have been executed on the battlefield as an illegal combatant. It is a travesty this murdering filthbag is walking free but to reward him with tax money!!!! is a crime against God!
mortimer says
Yes, Guy, a CRIME. Obscene! Repulsive! Unjust!

Victims to file injunction to stop Canada’s payment to jihadist Omar Khadr

*Good* to see these patriotic Canadians fighting back. Paying this Jihadi scum out of the monies of Canadian taxpayers is grotesque.
mortimer says
The TWO FIGHTING these unjust payouts to terrorism are AMERICANS hurt by him personally (one blinded soldier, one widow), but you may be assured HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Canadians agree with them ENTHUSIASTICALLY. The Litarded Jihad Party of Canada will pay in spades in the coming elections. Their Waterloo has come.
Andy says
Any and All monies paid out should ALL GO TO:Tabitha Speer, widow of Sgt. Christopher Speer, and Layne Morris Sergeant Morris was wounded and blinded in one eye because of that terrorist murderer. Khadr.
Keep the heat on all politicians people about this story.don’t let this die down. That’s what these prog lawyers and globalist traitors like Trudeau want. Keep the story alive until any money gets to widow Speer and Sergeant Morris.

You must be looking at opinion polls that were conducted by the same company that time and time again predicted that Hillary was in favour. It’s all bs propoganda. I’m Canadian and I hate our dictator PM. Everyone I speak to also express their hatred towards him. The feeling that Trudeau is a useless, brainless, arrogant traitor, seems pretty unanimous among those that I speak to. He most certainly DOES NOT speak for all Canadians and a large majority of us cannot wait for the opportunity to vote this clown out and kick the f*cked up Liberal party out of power,
Eva Reisenstein says
The way this slime bucket is allowing illegals over the border and from what I understand giving them citizenship. IF that is the case we in Canada are totally and royally screwed. Canada is becoming a country I don’t recognize or understand. NOW it’seems a largeneral portion of stupid millenials were wiling to sell their souls for marajuana. The Canadian government has put a blackout on reporting the criminal acts done in Canada hoping we citizens won’t hear about it, freedom of speech (B102 I believe is the right number for the quelling of our freedom of speech) is the first step towards sharia.law.
One very unhappy Canadian ctizen.
Ethel Red says
I am waiting for the day that just like when Hillary lost to Donald Trump, we will rid our country of this cancer Trudeau. I don’t know how he always seems to come up with some idea that the majority of Canadians dont agree with and he always assumes we do as he tells the world we do. Give us strength to hang on and remove him as soon as possible.

gravenimage says
My mother was horribly abusive and I had to run away from home at 15. No one’s bad behavior can be blamed on their parents. Trudeau’s mother was pretty damn flaky, but she is not directly responsible for her son selling out Canada to Jihadists.
Anti-jihad says
Khadr is only alive now because the Americans saved his life when he was an enemy combatant. He should hand the $10,000,000.00 over immediately to his victims or their families and fall on his knees in gratitude.
john spielman says
ABSOLUTELY – there is a US law that forbids any convicted felon from profiting from the crime!
Anti-jihad says
There’s a similar law in Canada for convicted felons.
Linde Barrera says
I am so glad that this will happen. It is about time Canadians woke up! And for my part, as punishment for his crime, the terrorist should be made to eat a slice of bacon, drink a glass of wine and have to listen to 1 song by Pink Floyd. All 3 are Haram in Islam. ?
Nigel GFF says
“I am so glad that this will happen. It is about time Canadians woke up!…”
Alas, alack, ‘There are none so blind as those who will not see’. And besides, it would gel with PA payments to terrorist families (https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/06/pa-official-we-will-still-pay-terrorist-salaries-even-if-israel-cuts-palestinian-funds). All governments and individuals who ‘contribute’ to Palestine authorities add to this appalling ‘state’ of affairs. We all need to wake up, not just the Canucks.
gravenimage says
So preventing Jihadists from profiting from waging violent Jihad is the same as paying “Palestinian” families for waging violent Jihad? Am I misreading your comments?
Dan says
Big time help too, would be to make sure Khadr’s lawyer doesn’t get squat.
Maybe then lawyers would start setting some moral bar for themselves too. (Although not bloody likely.
Bob says
The. lawyers who defend these islamic criminals, usually at the tax-payers’ expense have seared consciences! But I’m sure that they sleep well at night after a hard day counting their ‘earnings’!
John A. Marre says
I think Trudeau will do everything he can to protect the rights of the Jihadis, and to scorn the rights and emotions of the human beings.
Thomas says
In theory, the Canadian courts should respect the USA State judgment.
However, if this scumbag did not have “an opportunity” to defend the case according to the Canadian courts, who knows what will happen. The victim’s family may have to proof up the case or the court may just punch the victim’s family’s TS card.
Hopefully, at a minimum, the survivors will be able to have the proceeds held by the court clerk until the case is resolved.
Johan Elzinga says
I think I will go to Canada and throw a few grenades into a shopping mall. Then I will tell the press I did this because I have the Islamic faith and sue the Canadian government as soon as they put me in jail, and it is in fact their fault that I threw that grenade because I was discriminated against. Soon I will get 10 million in damages and the apologies of the parliament. I will write a book about it that will sell in big numbers. Great!
Santa Voorhees says
Not so fast! You should have also an arab-sounding name. Otherwise the government will likely not believe you and will throw you in jail for life.
That’s still no guarantee though, as SPLC deemed the Orlando jihadist as right wing terror.
traci94 says
This is so wrong!
Anti-jihad says
Yes. It is, but, that’s Justin Trudeau’s Canada.
Bob says
Yes, and what’s the betting that he’ll be elected again, next time arounf? We ordinary voters seem never to learn!
gravenimage says
Sadly, probably most Canadians know nothing about this story.
Richie says
I’m thinking odds are 100% if this money is payed out to this Muslim much of it will be used to finance jihadist activities.
Richie says
It would be as if allied powers paid a member of the SS 10 million dollars
simpleton1 says
And our governments trample over us like the SS government ruled its citizens lives, acting on the invader’s behalf, and particularly with savagery on deemed not worthy non-citizens in the occupied countries.

How did Canada get such dunces for leaders and judges?
“Khadr is only alive today because of the medical treatment he received from U.S. forces after he killed one of their comrades. ”
Stop saving them and it will improve the world economy.

The “dunces for leaders and judges” is certainly not confined to Canada – look at Europe!

I help the Conservative party the only way I can right now and that is by a monthly donation.

Off topic but muslim related.
A few days ago all media in Bulgaria had a story. Two teenage Bulgarian girls beat three muslimahs, a mother and two daughters, in a supermarket. Muslimas were the family of the family of the #2 mufti in the country. The girls were arrested. Then the usual suff, muslims are victims of islamophobia, Bulgarians are bad, intolerant, blah, blah.
Yesterday I noticed a news site in Bulgarian had the story different. I was told a tv show also ran the different story. Here it is. The two Bulgarian teens were walking by the parking lot of a supermarket. They were wearing shorts. The muslimas started calling them names. Girls initially passed them, but then returned and asked what they wanted. The muslimas started beating them. Then the mufti appeared and started beating them too. He called police and police arrested the Bulgarian teens. They were kept at the police station for 12 hours. Then the girls obtained a medical report they were beaten. The story ends here. Muslims didn’t get arrested or anything. I can’t find anything in English. Here it is in Bulgarian.

Will Justin Zoolander expect a one million dollar donation to the Liberal Party of Canada?
Bat 21 says
In 2013 the conservative government cancelled all funding to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency because of it’s close ties to the terrorist group Hamas. Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party reinstated the funding–$25 million. Perhaps the Liberal slogan ” A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian” should be “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is His messenger.”

Now, Canada under the leadership of the wannabe Sun King, Trudeau will continue to reward those bent on the ruination of Western Democracy. It is, however, reassuring that the widow of the American soldier murdered is taking legal action to stop this rewarding a murderous terrorist. Others have labeled him as a boy-soldier, a misnomer utilized to justify this killing by those steeped in the bowels of political correctness and apologists of Islam.
One can only hope that the judiciary sees beyond these cynical actions for no more than political expediency and appeasement.
Tom says
I am Canadian and am vehemently opposed to ANY payment of my tax dollars to the murderer and the Trudeau government should hang their collective heads in shame because of this outrageous attempt to give Canadians’ tax money to a Jihadi murderer.

tpog says
Hopefully, the “reign” of this b…ard muslim PM trudeau will come to an end in 2019. I am EMBARRASSED to be Canadian.
This $10.5M plus apology to khadr is a slap in the face to all our vets who died and were wounded in WW1&2 in order to keep the West free of facism and to preserve freedom of speech and thought. Also, a slap in the face to the US, families of the dead and wounded soldiers PLUS IT WAS ANNOUNCED ON THE 4TH OF JULY. A fine way for khadr and Canada to say “thank you” to the US medics who saved this kid’s life.
Giving Canadian citizenship to recently arrived UNVETTED muslim refugees, putting them on welfare ($43,000/yr which is a lot more than most working Canadians are earning). Allowing dual citizens convicted of terrorism to retain their Canadian citizenship — trudeau, all this is criminal!!!
Last yr a report came out announcing that 2,300 Canadian vets were homeless with a lot of them suffering from PTSD. Of course, the Canadian govt is putting all sorts of red tape in front of vets who are trying to get treatment for their disabilities plus monetary compensation.
Much of the PTSD Canadian vets are suffering is a result of having witnessed the vile adult male sexual abuse of young boys in afghanistan. They were prevented from reporting because its part of afghani culture. A Canadian diplomat was called up on the carpet for trying to report this to Ottawa.
Meanwhile, khadr’s jihadi family are still in Canada, getting welfare and whenever interviewed still advocate terrorism. To most people on the left this all makes perfect sense. But hey, as long as we’re doing this multicultural thing and keep deluding ourselves that islam is a religion of love and peace we’ll be fine.
During WW2 pappy trudeau rode a motorcycle around Montreal giving the nazi salute wherever he could. Tells us a lot about the trudeau family history. Plus, many yrs ago, on good authority, was told that pappy was gay.
pappy screwed up our Canada and its looking as though jr is continuing the family tradition.
In the meantime, Canada is looking really COOL with our idiot muslim PM going around the world showing off his socks (see photo of him having a “sock showing” for leaders of G20).
Normally when I have a rant, usually feel better. NOT THIS TIME.

Richard Courtemanche says
If this ridiculous payment goes through, hopefully she gets it.
No doubt the Khadr issue is very convoluted and contentious. We’ve heard all the arguments on both sides so no need to reiterate those to try understanding the resolution.
No matter how one looks at it, Khadr was willingly involved in terrorist activities. While his freedom in our midst may be reasonable, any money and apology are not. There will be terrorism in the future where our conduct will not always meet procedural standards and those who have a death wish should not benefit from lotteries in case they survive while attempting to destroy us. Ridiculous!
It’s absolutely normal for Canadians to be totally appalled at such resolution and emphatically expect the government to rescind that decision. Who and how such resolution was arrived at in the first place are still wishy-washy and unlikely to become transparent as usual. Nonetheless, if your government happens to lean against the population’s belief, let Canadians decide. Nothing about revenge, all about real justice.
