Ok, are you going to jump on this guy's band wagon too? (I'm not.)
Thai court jails pedophile arrested after INTERPOL global appeal
When you do, I'll take your protestations about poor Omar much more seriously. Omar is in the headlines because the left views him as some innocent victim of the George Bush Doctrine and have made him their poster boy. (I just don't happen to care about Omar. Which when you think about it is pretty friendly because "in the good ole days" Omar just would have been shot as the treasonous dirt bag that he is.)
Omar will get his day in court. I trust the Americans to do this much. If he's found "Not Guilty" then he's free to go where he wants or can. (Just hopefully not back to Canada.)

So what you have is basically an even split between Canadians who want "due process under Canadian law" vs. "left to face trial by military commission at Guantanamo Bay." And then you have a third group half the size of each who are uncertain. . |
See I read that article and I see that despite the NDP wording of the Question, 58% of Canadians don't want Omar back in Canada and only 42% do.
I guarantee you if you change your wording to something along the lines of my question, the numbers against repatriating Omar would tip to well into the high 60 percents or even higher.
I've travelled far and wide in Canada and I can assure you that Toronto is not the rest of the country (save Vancouver and Montreal). Go into the railway towns, the mining towns, the farming communities, the blue collar towns (you know, the places the Toronto Star doesn't call) and ask them about Omar Khadr and his terrorist family. I guarantee you that you will find no sympathy for him.
