(Ottawa) Canada’s
liberal government this week handed over Eight million US dollars (£6m) to Omar
Khadr who pleaded guilty to killing an American solider in Afghanistan.
Belonging to the infamous Khadr clan who on deciding that living in Canada wasn’t

state to live in.
Anyway once things went down for the Khadr family, they
either went down fighting or played the victimcard in which to be allowed to
return to the land they hated so much, they had actually burnt their Canadian
passports in which to express their displeasure with that country.
Well Khadr was captured during a firefight with US soldiers
where he murdered a Medic. For his services to Osma Bin Laden, Khadr was given
a ticket to Cuba where he remained until 2012.
Khadr (and his supporters) quickly played the
victimcard and sued the Canadians for hurt feelings. Which is why on Wednesday
the Canadian Government handed over a cheque to this poor,poor child and an apology:
“We are announcing that the government of Canada has reached a settlement with Mr. Omar Khadr, bringing this civil case to a close,” said the statement from Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland. “On behalf of the government of Canada, we wish to apologize to Mr. Khadr for any role Canadian officials may have played in relation to his ordeal abroad and any resulting harm.”Omar Khadr has spoken to the press about his lottery win:
"I think it restores a little bit my reputation here in Canada”
