Lets not get carried away with the whole going to bat for these people in other countries. Thats not really a Harper thing or a prime minister thing.
And don't make me laugh about the bringing of Khadr back to Canada, the only way that we should bring him back is to drive him over to the other tarmac and put him on a plane with the rest of his family that makes a one stop run to afghanistan.

That's really where the problems lie. What you mentioned is what in a perfect world
should happen. The problem is our liberal immigration laws go counter to this, so under legal definition that ###### khadr should be brought back. The Harper government knows that this is BS and is trying to backdoor khadr without causing an uproar that would surely ensue should Harper retroactivly change immigration law and policy, among the multi-culti inclined people and immigrants who benefited from these policies.
It truly is a Canadian phenomenon not exclusive to the Harper conservatives to backdoor people or to have some sort of 'hammer-type' legal provision to force outcomes in the governments favor when a ill-advised policy breaks down in dramatic public fashion. Eg. We have the 'dangerous offender' law to keep people imprisoned who might embarass the government for having such lenient sentancing. That way when people like Clifford Olson and Paul Bernardo are finished their official 25 year sentance they don't get released causing an uproar as to why our 'life-sentance' isn't anything close to life. Problem is what about all those other 1st degree murder convictions that weren't high profile cases?
