The poll suggested 71 per cent of Canadians are of the opinion the Trudeau government should have fought Khadr’s lawsuit and left it to the courts to decide whether he deserved compensation and an apology.

Well the answer to that question is that the overwhelming majority of homeless people suffer from serious mental health issues and are incapable of working either due to the illness itself, the medication they take or a combination of both. For example my uncle suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and his medication causes him to sleep between 12-14 hours per day. Even if the medication were enough for him to be coherent, which it isn't, he wouldn't have enough hours left in the day to reasonably be expected to work a job with which to support himself.
My uncle got lucky as my grandparents were well off and left him with enough money to buy a small condo and pay for his basic needs, most people are not so lucky and end up homeless. The reason we have homeless people is that we do not provide the support needed to the people who need it and we don't provide this support because it brings in far too few votes for the money investments needed.
So next time you see this Catherine, instead of filling her head with misguided ideals such as homeless people being lazy, please inform her that the best way to help the homeless is to provide them with the social, mental as well as financial help they need. Doing so will not only help these people find homes but also make it possible for people with light to moderate illnesses to become productive members of society. - Monkey

This poll doesn't agree with me? POLLS ARE FAKE NEWS!!!
damn, that's some pretty rude language : "slick metrosexual". Although I did find it funny, it's out of place on any written article that aims to be taken seriously.
i also find it harsh to slam a politician on the sole basis of "not being noticeable enough". Does a good politician needs to throw tantrums or something?
Keep in mind that for the most part I'm not a fan of Tru-D'oh
I just find this bit of article quite lame
sounds like 71% of Canadians aren't legal experts. - aschuter82
No, it seems that 71% agree that when a Canadian Citizen, leaves Canada, ends up in Afghanistan (after 9 - 11 ) and joins Al Quadia, manufactures IEDs to kill American, British, Canadian and other Allies soldiers............... gets caught when he throws a grenade when under attack by American forces, almost dies but is treated by an American Medic ............ should NOT receive tax payers dollars.
The SCC only ordered that he be repatriated to Canada, which he was, to serve out his sentence ......... no compensation of any kind was included in the SCC decision.
This $10.5 Million is a settlement by Tru-D'Oh!, for Khadr to drop his lawsuit ........ which he would have never received a single cent.

And all Canadians are entitled to a fair trial before being jailed.
You've convinced me. This is a problem from the Harper era. Thanks!
