This is a normal post Oh, he admitted to being a terrorist whilst he was a teenager being held at Guantanamo?
Fuck me, he probably is a terrorist, then! Sounds like his compensation and his apology were well deserved.

This is a normal post I don't get what you're trying to say
that a teenager is incapable of brutal crime or terrorism?

that his admission was somehow coerced? If so, he didn't tell his lawyer who called the terrorist a "victim" of his family and culture

A man died from a grenade and another was blinded. The Canadian government made sure that the victim's family could not collect. It is shameful

This is a normal post Why should the family receive an award?
The guy was military and died in combat, pretty sure there's something in the small print about risk of death...

This is a normal post That's a good point. I am not sure how that works.
If the families of the people dying for a country are prohibited from seeking redress from murderous millionaires, that would only make me more :(

This is a normal post I'm fine with the first part.
Can't comment on the second as I can't get to it.

This is a normal post Thanks,
It doesn't cover the bit about "...while blocking victim's family from collecting on earlier wrongful death judgment " unfortunately though.

This is a normal post From the Journal
Mr. Khadr was just shy of his 16th birthday at the time of the attack. In 2010 Canada’s Supreme Court held that the interrogation of Mr. Khadr at Guantanamo Bay by Canadians in 2003-04 violated Canadian standards for the treatment of detained youths. These violations occurred during the mandates of Liberal Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin. The Supreme Court left it to the government, then headed by Conservative Stephen Harper, to determine an appropriate remedy, and to the civil courts to rule on any damages.

A few months later Mr. Khadr entered his guilty plea on five war-crimes charges. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison, reduced by pretrial agreement to eight years. The Harper government determined that returning Mr. Khadr to Canada would be the appropriate remedy. In 2012 he was repatriated to serve the remaining years of his sentence. He was released on bail in 2015.

Mr. Khadr wasn’t satisfied. He sued the Canadian government for 20 million Canadian dollars (about US$16 million at current exchange rates).

Meanwhile in Utah, Sgt. Speer’s widow, Tabitha, his two young children and Mr. Morris sued Mr. Khadr and received a judgment for $134.1 million in damages. Their goal was to preserve possible future action against Mr. Khadr’s assets — at the time a remote possibility.

But last week Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a formal apology to Mr. Khadr and a massive cash settlement, though no court had ordered him to do so.

This is a normal post OK,
but I'm still not seeing the claimed blocking.

This is a normal post If US Republicans weren't cool with imprisoning and torturing children
this wouldn't have had to happen. There's also no proof he killed anyone.
