NP | Probe urged into how Ontario-based bodyguard helped Gaddafi’s son flee from Libya
So an american company want to put turbines in Canada, but american politicians and wannabe stars oppose a canadian pipeline in the USA.
Oh, and get ready for a fight, Khdar might be coming back to Canada. He better be sentenced to the rest of his sentence to be served.
Are you nuts Maryt, once Kadhr arrives with CBC and opposition parties giving him the welcoming red carpet; he would sooner be introduced as CBC special guest than you ever will.
Out of jail even faster than the average ” young offender ” found guilty of murder in Canada. ( Up till now: Serious repeat violent crime may finally be taken seriously but it will be too late to keep this guy in jail ).
For sure he’ll be hailed the conquering hero and lead story on the CBC National News by a breathless with excitment Peter Mansbridge. Watch for him to host the next JUNO Awards ceremony and even appear as a guest judge on Canadian Idol. To recognize and celebrate the success of our refugee policy (how his scum parents first got into Canada) he will be flown to CFB Shilo in a government Challenger jet to participate in the 1st Annual Canadian hand grenade throwing/rocket propelled grenade firing contest against (and share the podium with) the best our military can provide. Lastly, a full apology will be forthcoming from the government on behalf of all Canadian people along with the mandatory cash pay out of millions of tax dollars for pain and suffering. As for American medic Sgt. Christopher Speer whom this dispicable little POS killed and his surviving wife and small children… get over it. Learn to forgive, forget or if you can’t do that just flat out absolve….the Canadian way.
Bitter, much? Sheesh.
Not bitter, Cy. Canada is a kind and welcoming place. We should take him back and then jail him in Coral Harbour for the foreseeable future. I have no problem with that.
No guards required — no fences. If the jailed Middle East morons want to run away they can. HOWEVER, I note that “global warming” is upon us and polar bears are very hungry so we are repeatedly told day in and day out. They eat everything in sight and the “word” is going to spread in “bear land”.
“Free lunch in Coral Harbour — come and gettim” sounds about right and they will. I can hear it now as a defunct “escaped jihaddi” screams “Allahuh Akbar” as they tangle with a ten foot 1000 pound “starving” bear. They are not afraid of death so they say — I beg to differ. They have no idea what true fear is as they rapidly become “lunch”.
Welcome to Canada. I feel Khadr would not want to go to “that place” if given a choice and he should be presented with the option because the “call” is ours. He has no control over where he is jailed.
Regarding Sgt. Christopher Speer — Canada should make a voluntary payout to his family and a million bucks sounds about right to me. We are responsible for his death because this little twit the Canadian press is all upset about is a Canadian citizen and we didn’t control him as we should have. It’s the very least we can do to help ease their pain and it would be the proper thing to do.
We should also take a very stern look at who we let in here because we are “screwing up” and we don’t need this problem.
Just a thought.
I agree Jack maybe some of the people who commented on this should j0in him.
Right comrade.
Go right ahead. May as well round up all the extremists one time.
The trouble with Coral Harbour is that there are people living there. I would suggest that Haughton Impact Crater on Devon Island would be better for the young killer. Park him at the bottom and let him conduct his personal jihad against the cold.
