Thanks for the thinly veiled insult.  I have "actually read the facts".  My point is about the process of how this went down.  Trudeau could've fought this - even a little.  Just out of decency and respect for the military who are asked to go fight in Afghanistan.  Sure, the government may lose the court battle, but the military would at least know that Trudeau has their back - that in itself is worth $10Mil.  How about allowing the widow a fighting chance to get some of that money owed to her?  No, the money will instead go towards lawyers and terrorism - how nice of Trudeau to support terrorism.  Trudeau, cut a secret back room deal to ensure that Khadr had time to hide the cash.  My opinion of Trudeau is worse than ever.  He is either a sympathizer or a coward.

What's the saying - It's better to die standing, than live on your knees.

I believe Khadr's lawyer commenced claims against the Canadian government shortly after the SCC determined that the Canadian government failed its duty towards Khadr. That was quite a while ago.  I suggest that the Canadian  government didn't in fact roll over because it has taken from then to now to come to an agreement.
  Also, the Widow Spears successfully pursued claims against Khadr in a civil case regarding wrongful death of her husband. She did not pursue claims against the Canadian government. The Canadian government does not owe Mrs Spears a dime.   Khadr pursued his claim against the Canadian government and the Canadian government settled his claim by cashing out.  There is no obligation for the Canadian government to pay Mrs Spears. The money awarded Mrs. Spears is owed by Khadr so she can now pursue Mr.Khadr for the money she is owed.
  And what has the Canadian governments failure towards Khadr have to do with Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan?
