Most Canadians Don't Give A Damn About Khadr

The next CBC “news” personality to go to Al Jazeera?

July 27th, 2008

Michael Coren receives an email from an unbalanced (read: biased… or don’t) “journalist” at the CBC who didn’t think Omar Khadr should be anything less than sainted.

Last week I wrote about the case of Omar Khadr and how I had more sympathy for the young medic who was killed when Khadr was captured than for the man currently in custody at Guantanamo Bay. I said that he should have faced a trial by now but that much of the supposed compassion thrown at him was motivated more by hatred of the United States than love for justice and truth.

Hundreds of e-mails arrived, of course. Most in my favour, but many against, which is all a healthy indication of democracy and free speech. One, however, was particularly interesting, in that it was sent by someone who is paid by our tax dollars to be objective and balanced.

“You were kidding, right? No matter. That material is about as funny as a good old-fashioned waterboarding joke. Disgraceful.” Richard Goddard goddardr@cbc.ca. o (+001) 416-205-5950 f (+001) 416-205-5731. Q on CBC Radio ONE. Canada Qs up: Afternoons 2 - 3:30, Evenings 10 - 11. Shipping Address: Office 2H109-D, Canadian Broadcasting Centre, 205 Wellington St. W., Toronto, Ont. M5V 3G7.”

Perhaps we’ll soon have another taxpayer funded, commie, terrorist fellator leaving us for the sunnier climes of the arid and evil Al Jazeera.

rally for omar khadr today

I forgot to post a reminder yesterday. If you're in the Toronto area and believe, as I do, that Canadian citizen Omar Khadr should be brought back to Canada and treated as every other Canadian in the same circumstances would be treated, perhaps you will join the rally and march. Details here.
