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.

I'm not a hundred percent on this but I read it was in the neighbourhood of $360,000 max depending on the severity of the injury. If that is in fact true, this settlement with a borderline terrorist for over 10 million dollars looks that much worse in comparison. But I'm sure he suffered more then our wounded service men do, so he deserved every penny of the payout.
