If you take facts into consideration, people's views are moot. Seriously, give the above article section a quick read and come back to the table and pick it apart. That would be awesome.

If you would have taken a moment to click on some of those links, you would see that the evidence to convict isn't as rock solid as some would want you to believe. I would link it here... but I know you won't even bother, it doesn't fit your narrative. So I will just quote it here and bold some points for you.

Yup, that is why I will give JT a pass on this- he was left with a flaming bag of Dookie in his hands and he dealt with it. Not a fan of how it was done, but a big fan that he did something of substance with it and not pawn it off down the road.

True, but that Victor guy is a different beast altogether... Mad Props to the Argos for uncovering that gem.

Let's hope voters understand the issue in it's entirety with history included and not just the sensationalized headlines while ignoring or obfuscating the relevant facts. It's easy to point and shout about the 10 mil pay out to a convicted terrorist, much harder to do that when you include ALL the relevant facts.

1) How is Khadr not a Child Soldier? 2) How is Khadr not a Canadian? Child Soldiers and The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are not mere "affectations" (click on links and educate yourself a bit) Mark H's link to the article above: "The press has not simply questioned the wisdom of the apology and settlement—it has ignored or obscured the relevant facts that made an apology and settlement necessary in the first place." This is key to understanding why the money and apology are appropriate. (The way it was carried out- total garbage). This whole debacle is much more nuanced than what the media is reporting these days. If you don't understand the notion of child soldier, then reality is lost on you. If you don't believe that the charter of rights extends to EVERY Canadian, then yeah, reality is lost on you.

Yeah, he must have been what... 13 maybe 14 in that pic- If you don't understand the notion of child soldier, then that piece is lost on you. If you don't believe that the charter of rights extends to EVERY Canadian, then yeah, that piece is lost on you. I don't even think you read that article. So keep your snark to yourself.

This an excellent piece- those who are all up in arms about PAYING MILLIONS TO A TERRORIST should give it a good read. People forget often that the military Tribunal and legal framework that Khadr was subjected to was experimental and pretty much a sham.

Because he was in Guantanamo... It was a really slimy trick pulled by their lawyers.

Trudeau and the payout aside (I am not entirely sold on the pay out and apology), give the article a read. If anything, it is another perspective- unless you are not open to that sort of thing.

I found this a well sourced (but left biased) bit of reporting that was very informative and parsed the Omar Khadr ordeal. Beware- there is a left slant, but it is factual. http://www.nationalobserver.com/2017/07/07/opinion/what-if-omar-khadr-isnt-guilty I checked with mediabiasfactcheck.com and the National Observer comes out at: LEFT-CENTER BIAS but Factual Reporting: HIGH https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-observer-canada/ Worth a read if not only to further the debate.

That's not cool in any way shape or form, I wonder what their explaination for that is going to be... Just did a little research on the suit- seems they won the suit by default because OK could not show up for his defense and the Judge awarded it by default. I fail to understand how OK was not considered a child-soldier and treated as such? The 'Mericans are a signatory to the Geneva Conventions.

Can someone explain to me how The widow is suing for $134 million? I don't understand how she gets money and no other widow on either side of the conflict gets this compensation...

I hear that Matt Nichols once saved a small town in NW Manitoba from a forest fire- he dug a fire break with his bear hands.

Around the League - Training Camp Discussion
Ok... I'll bite- why do you believe that he was exposed and not ruined? Why are you so certain? I thought in the first 5 games he played, he did well and had made good decisions when he was in a pocket. The more he took a pummeling, the worse he got... the savage head shot he took against Hamilton here in wpg was the end I think... anyways- I am just curious if you have anything specific to point to when you are making your exposed vs ruined statement.
