Yet Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer immediately called the action "disgusting" and a "secret deal" — the latter, of course, playing to the rightist notion that hidden elites plan and plot behind our backs. He also said, "This payout is a slap in the face to men and women in uniform who face incredible danger every day to keep us safe," when it has nothing whatsoever to do with our military and, if anything, in confirming the rule of law and human rights goes to the very heart of what our soldiers fight to maintain.
The increasingly hysterical Michelle Rempel, when not blocking people on Twitter, described Khadr as a "convicted terrorist," when she must surely know that he was offered a transfer out of the hellish Guantanamo Bay only if he confessed to terrorism. He was a child soldier when the event happened, and still a young man in prison.
