Thank you Audrey Macklin for your informed and reasoned response to the apology and compensation for Omar Khadr. 

Those who resist your analysis prefer to follow the racist and anti-Muslim dog whistle blown by CON politicians and alt right bigots. 

This Trudeau government action is long overdue and an important redress. The Canadian government -  under the Liberals until 2006 (when Liberal leader Stephane Dion spoke out in support of Omar Khadr after his Guantanamo lawyer travelled to Canada to speak about his unjust circumstances to the Canadian Bar Association), and thoughout CON Harper's rule, turned a blind eye and actively opposed Omar Khadr.  His torture and imprisonment over 13 years is a shameful chapter in Canadian history that ends with this current government's apology and compensation. 

I wish Omar Khadr well in his journey. He has revealed himself to be a young man with a commitment to healing and justice.
