A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who pleaded guilty to killing a US soldier in Afghanistan has received a multimillion-dollar payment from Canada’s government after a court ruling said his rights were abused, a Canadian official said Thursday night.
The official confirmed that Omar Khadr has been given the money. A different official also familiar with the deal said it is for $10.5 million Canadian dollars (US$8 million). Both insisted on speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the deal publicly.

The widow of Speer and another American soldier blinded by the grenade in Afghanistan filed a wrongful death and injury lawsuit against Khadr in 2014 fearing Khadr might get his hands on money from his wrongful imprisonment suit. A US judge granted them $134.2 million in damages in 2015.$8 million will make a nice down payment on that.

Wouldn’t it be terrible if he uses that money to fund Canadian terror raids?

Couldn’t place why exactly I was not going to visit populated areas, in earnest, on next visit to Canada but all has become clear.

The widow of the medic that was killed has launched a lawful death suit against him in hopes of getting the money.

Many up here are not at all happy with Justin over this, him giving this person this kind of money instead of veterans or the natives that he purports to care so much about.

So the guy’s father was buddy buddy with Osama Bin Laden and now he gets $8 million, and we’re supposed to believe he wants to get a fresh start and go back to school to get into “healthcare”? This guy is a terrorist and his father was a terrorist. Hello Canada....

President Trump should order a black ops hit on the guy.

That murderer should be not be paid in paper currency or even gold. Just lead . . . at high velocity.

You can come to Alberta and British Columbia. Just stay out of Vancouver etc. Any big city really. There’s no reason to go to a big city though.
On the 4th of July some couple from Georgia were being harassed a bit in mcdees. Within seconds I had it sorted. Any real American is welcome here. Us real Albertans won’t tolerate the bs.
This Omar guy lives in Edmonton near his lawyer. What kind of piece of garbage human would be a lawyer for a scum?
