The Supreme Court of Canada gave us a trilogy of cases may years ago which set an indexed maximum cap for general damages for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.  That maximum, in 2017, is $ 370,510.00.  This number is understood to be the compensation for the "worst" injury one can suffer--which is generally understood to be quadriplegia in a younger person.  Extra damages are available if the injury requires nursing care, loss of earning ability, and similar amounts for losses or expenses caused by the incident.  It is exceptional in Canada for injured persons to win millions of dollars---if they do, the injuries are severe.  Now look at Mr. Khadr.  His experience, the Supreme Court said violated his rights, we have to accept that.  However, how do you get to $10 million dollars given the rules and law that apply to ordinary Canadians when they suffer catastrophic life changing injuries that cap out at 3.7% of what Khadr is getting?  We deserve to know the rationale.
