Once again, we're a joke. Ask me how much military widows in Canada whose spouses gave the ultimate sacrifice in the name of this country are given, versus how much Khadr was paid for so much less suffering.

Its an absolute atrocity. Had we killed him, the Khadr family would have received approximately 0 dollars and 0 cents.
I'm not a lawyer but, considering the US saved his life to take him into custody, I'm not so sure your assessment that the Canadian government killing him after that wouldn't have gotten his family anything, if not more than what he ended up with.

Edit: because you said to ask, how much does the government actually give the widows and families of fallen Canadian military personnel? I'm genuinely asking, but no matter how much it is I'm sure it could be argued that they deserve more, just like it could be argued that the government shouldn't violate people's charter rights without penalty.
