So many of these comments exemplify the Trumpification of the voting public. Zero attempt (or ability?) to understand the issue, even when it is simply and clearly spelled out in several articles. Mr. Khadr is a Canadian, and his rights were seriously violated. By Liberal AND Conservative governments. You can hate and condemn as much as you want, but this isn't a decision of left or right, it's the law - and thankfully, we still have rule of law.

And I'm not sure that this article is correct - the vast majority of the treatment that set up this payment took place under the watch of the Conservatives, while Mr. Speer was in government, while Mr. Trudeau was not.  His attacks on Trudeau could easily backfire.
