Here's the facts:

1. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Canada has no jurisdiction to bring Omar home.

2. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not extend outside of Canada's political boarders.

3. Canada has NEVER interceded in the USA to bring a Canadian citizen back to Canada from the US to face trial here rather than in the US. Not once. (Neither of you can provide a single example.)

4. Omar will get his day in court. In fact it is scheduled for this July.

5. Omar has competent legal representation (free of charge in fact).

6. Omar has fired his court appointed legal team in the past resulting in delays in his case proceeding

7. Omar is not facing a kangeroo court.

I'm sorry, I missed your fact based arguements in all of this fun.

Ah yes, the "Child Soldier" angle, and the big bad "War on Terror"
