I resent the 'on behalf of all Canadians' apologies.  It is NOT on my behalf, and I suspect a large majority of Canadians would say the same.  Secondly, even if that schmuck gave him ten million dollars of his own money, it would still be wrong on every level, but at least he wouldn't have been reaching into my pocket, to take my money - and the money of every other taxpaying citizen - so he could give it to a convicted terrorist.
