Stephen Harper's Conservative government's inaction on the Khadr case has endeared him to the xenophobic right in Canada but pretty much everybody else is calling shenanigans. The Supreme Court of Canada weighed in recently with a 9-0 decision that basically calls down both the Cdn and US governments role in the prosecution and imprisonment as having violated Khadr's civil rights.

Spud concurs.

The murder charge is total bullshit and needs to be thrown out. The "helping to build ieds" thing he needs to be prosecuted for but most people on the left in Canada think that time served (especially considering the extraordinary circumstances) is sufficient at this point.

Be Well.

Note to Americans in the field: next time some kid throws a grenade at you, don't bother capturing him--he might be a Canadian. Just blow his brains out.

What's this all aboot? What did the Mounties do, hip check the Hoser into the boards or something eh?

Give em a case case-o-Molson and send the little feller on his way.

Terrorists have rights - I should think not. How about the rights of their victims?

Why so we care?
It's Canada.

so=do

Canada ruled against us... all I can say is...

Nobody in their right mind would care about what a bunch of flake Canadian judges think about anything. Let those liberal wimps complain to the UN. And if they're not careful, we will take them over and make 11 states out of Canada.

"...The "helping to build ieds" thing..."

I like how Death's PUD poo poo's the IED 'thing' like:

No biggie, eh?

Misguided liberals and their morally misguided compassion-attacks!

Khadr is unique in that Canada has refused to seek extradition or repatriation despite the urgings of Amnesty International, UNICEF, the Canadian Bar Association and other prominent organisations.[10][11][12][13] In 2009, it was revealed that the government had spent over $1.3 million to ensure Khadr remained in Guantanamo.

In April 2009, the Federal Court of Canada ruled that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms made it obligatory for the government to immediately demand Khadr's return. After a hearing before the Court of Appeals produced the same result, the government announced they would argue their case before the Supreme Court of Canada.[15][16] In January 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that Khadr's constitutional rights had clearly been violated, but it stopped short of ordering the government to seek his return to Canada.[17]

Great take him from the gitmo holding center and send him to Candada so he can have peace, might i suggest the judges take this poor fellow in for a night or two and tend to all of his needs. sorry for the mess up, nice guy and all.

In all seriousness, does anyone honestly give a fuck about a Canadian court ruling? Let's put all our cards on the table and be honest... not only does anyone give a fuck, but does anyone fear the Canadian repercussions of not giving a fuck?

You would care when the Canucks cut off their exports of Metals, Oil, Lumber and Prime Hydroponic Skunkweed.

Well sure, but would they? Over this? Of course not... so fuck them and their ruling.

The rest of the world ignore Canadian court rulings.

we will take them over and make 11 states out of Canada.

Nah, they're fun as the oil and lumber whore for the real America. Canada is a colony.

99 percent of Canucks already live on the border, so desperate to be Americans. Why make it easier for them?

I sure am happy that Canada can tell us what to do.

ARob, considering Canada is The US number one trading partner by a wide margin and the US is far more dependent on Canada than the other way around I think the US is wise to consider Canada's opinion on their citizen's human rights. Also Canada is first in line with tapping Artic resources being made available by shrinking glaciers.

Canada is in far better shape than the US. Universal health care, better schools and lower taxes. The cities are on average much better than in the US as well.

Are the fumes in Jersey addling your brain? Or is it the poor quality of crack available in Trenton?

As if they (canadian court)had anything to settle or prevent with that human scum!.
Know what would really make the court suffer a mental stroke? Considering the rights of 9-11 victims and families!
"gitmo's detainees" can only have the right to fess up and stand before a firing squad.

Canada is in far better shape than the US. Universal health care, better schools and lower taxes. The cities are on average much better than in the US as well.

Then maybe Canadians should stay in their own country. Stop coming to America

One lunatic thinks fairness to Moslems ("terrorists" indeed!) somehow represents unfairness to victims. Another recommends that we annex North America's last haven for justice and common sense. Yuch! herm

I work with two Canadians - funny but they could not find a job in the great white north - paradise lost?

One lunatic thinks fairness to Moslems ("terrorists" indeed!) - HERMENGELE

HERM, who considers "doctors" who suck babies from their mother's womb heroes, now beatifies terrorists? Just when you thought the old fart could not get any meaner he pulls one out of his ass.

"I work with two Canadians - funny but they could not find a job in the great white north - paradise lost?"

Really? We'll hire just about anyone that can speak english and pass a drug test these days just to try to keep up with retirements.

Why do we give a shit what the Canadians say.

"Why do we give a shit what the Canadians say."

You don't. And we don't give a shit what you say.

Fair Trade, ain't it Wunnerful?

"99 percent of Canucks already live on the border, so desperate to be Americans. Why make it easier for them?"

So based on that logic all those Texans want to be Mexicans again?

Oh wait... you didn't want to be American anymore either...

You don't. And we don't give a shit what you say.

Which is why you are trolling an American Blog? Jealousy runs deep north AND south of the border. You and the potatoe should join a support group for Canadians with poor self esteem.

"potatoe(sic)"
