More than likely though, he's a white conservative that's getting overly emotional at an emotional issue (not the greatest crime) and I think we as Canadians need to brace a little bit for many more like him across this country come next election.
We could have a mini-Trump like rise in our country with many coming out of the woodwork which could undue a lot of the things that we've done to progress as a society.

Where?...seriously....where?
I have said, and still believe, that Khadr should have been charged with treason. No more, and no less.
What happened to him in Gitmo, has no bearing on this as the crime was committed long before he was being detained. I am also of the belief that if he wanted to sue the government, then fine he has every right to. I wish the government had of fought him tooth and nail however, regardless if it cost more than settling.
For this is was told my values lie closer to Afghani's than they do Canadians (which unsurprisingly was ignored completely)....how am i to have any sort of rational discussion with that kind of claptrap coming in response?
As for me being a white conservative? Yeah I am but have zero idea what my skin color has to do with my view. Im certainly not ashamed of it like so many seem to think i should be.
So in conclusion, I "grasp" things just fine (thanks for the condescending #### though), I just dont understand the need for anyone to defend this assclowns actions while he was in Afghanistan and building bombs that were to be used against Canada or its NATO allies. It is a text book example of treason, regardless of his age or circumstances.
