Canada did not fail this "Canadian by Convenience" that has spent most of his life, prior to incarceration, outside of Canada. He himself, his family and his religion failed him. The family had a long history of being involved in terrorist activities, returning to Canada only when in either financial need or for government medical assistance.

Who Canada has failed is the taxpayers which Mr. Khadr is not and the rest of its citizens. We need a clear defined policy on all citizens involving themselves in the politics, terrorism and wars outside of Canada. Any such action include fundraising and donation should bring an automatic revocation of citizenship and charges of treason. Remember Khadr was trained by and fought with groups we are fighting against.

The worst part of the issue was, after the outcry from angry citizens, government officials expediting the payout after being notified the widow would move to have her $340mm judgement enforced in Canada.
