Canada Pays Convicted Terrorist Millions

Yes it happened, American MSM—and right on Your Independence Day



Good Morning America’s MSM! from your largely ignored country next door. It took almost two weeks for the American media to weigh in on the $10.5 million ($8.0 US) federal government payout to convicted terrorist Omar Khadr. Indeed, it curiously seemed to go right over media heads that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the payout and and forthcoming Canadian Government’s apology to Khadr on America’s July 4 Independence Day.

Why would Trudeau choose Independence Day 2017 to make that kind of announcement? As no one in the American media bothered to ask him, we may never know. Khadr’s payout was the top story on the Fox News website yesterday, bringing CFP writers like Klaus Rohrich back into the fray at day’s end. “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.” (Globe and Mail) Good for Herman Cain, who also runs his own news site HermanCain.com for being the first American to tell it like it is: “Canada basically rewarded a murderer”— the murderer of a U.S. soldier. “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?” (Globe and Mail) “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.”
To the unnamed Fox panelist who raised the possibility “that there was more to the story”. You can take that suspicion to the bank. And for the question: “What do you do?” Learn from the danger of a Prime Minister who would choose American Independence Day 2017 to announce that he was paying out $10.5 million to a terrorist who killed an American soldier and blinded another.


Don’ t trust Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Trump

Did the Fox panelist know that just last week the same Trudeau gifted $20-million from the Canadian public purse to the Clinton Foundation?! Trudeau’s gifts to Khadr and the Clinton Foundation should be a tipoff for President Donald Trump not to trust him: Don’ t trust Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Trump. It was key players of the Obama campaign team who helped to elect him. (CFP: Obama Campaign Team Hands Canada Over to the Lib-Left, Oct. 20, 2015) And then there’s the fact that after being elected prime minister, former vice president Joe Biden got to Trudeau first, calling on him at an Ottawa State Dinner on Dec. 8, 2016 to be a world leader through a time of deep uncertainty and declaring that Trudeau should be a defender of the international “rules of the road”. As if the future of the West was his to give away, Biden said that Western fate would now depend on the leadership of Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Meanwhile the MSM who glibly ignore Canada should be reminded that Trudeau and Canada are right next door.
