Pour le dernier épisode avant la pause estivale, nous recevons une nouvelle fois Frédéric Bérard avec qui nous nous entretenons d'Omar Khadr. Emprisonné à Guantanamo suite aux événements du 11 septembre 2001, Khadr n'était encore qu'un adolescent. Pourquoi l'avoir emprisonné dans cette prison qui n'a rien d'ordinaire? A-t-il été victime de l'acharnement des gouvernements canadien et américain? Maintenant libéré, peut-il obtenir réparation? Nous en discutons avec notre invité. Bonne écoute et surtout bon été!

había una vez en los tiempos antiguos un misterioso profeta y santo llamado Khadar, que se decía que hacia milagros.. Dicen que el mar y el cielo se rendían a su voluntad y que podía aparecer en cualquier lugar y en todo lugar al mismo tiempo, y cuentan que su inmortalidad provenía del Agua de la Vida, que encontraba usando una joya luminosa que había caído del Paraíso. Cuando la hallaba, se sumergía en el agua y su cuerpo y su vestimenta se volvían verdes, y donde quiera que hollaban sus pies la tierra reverdecía.Un día Khadar fue al pueblo con una advertencia. Se presentó ante el consejo y les dijo que toda el agua del mundo desaparecería y sería renovada con otras aguas. “Esas aguas los enloquecerán”, vaticinó. “Para salvarse, deben almacenar el agua aquí en la Tierra. Si la salvan, serán salvos”.Pero solo un hombre le hizo caso. Fue a los ríos y a los arroyos, a los lagos y a las cascadas, a los pozos y a las albercas, y llenó botellas, jarros, baldes y barriles, que escondió en una cueva. A nadie le mencionó esa cueva ni dónde se encontraba.Un día, tal como predijo Khadr, las vertientes, los lagos y las cascadas se secaron. El hombre que había escuchado a Khadr permaneció oculto en la cueva y bebió solo del agua que había guardado, mientras esperaba la llegada de las nuevas aguas. Estas no tardaron en llegar. Los ríos volvieron a fluir hacia los lagos y las cascadas de nuevo retumbaron contra las rocas. El agua volvió a todos los lugares de donde se había ido. La gente del pueblo se llenó de alegría y todos bebieron hasta hartarse.El hombre de la cueva, creyendo que había pasado el peligro, salió de su escondite y volvió al pueblo. Pero cuando vio a la gente bebiendo alegremente en la plaza y los saludó, todos se quedaban mirándolo sin contestar. Trató de hablar con algunos y descubrió que habían enloquecido. Hablaban un idioma diferente y no tenían memoria de los tiempos de antes de la sequía.“¿No recuerdan que se secaron los ríos, los lagos y los pozos? ¿No recuerdan la profecía de Khadr?”, les decía. Pero ellos lo miraban como si él fuera el loco.“¿Qué está diciendo?”, preguntaban ellos, pero él no entendía qué querían. Entonces comenzaron a mostrarle los puños y a gritarle. Él comprendió que no podría explicarles lo que había ocurrido, así que volvió a esconderse en su cueva y a beber el agua de la cordura.Al cabo de un tiempo, sin embargo, comenzó a sentirse muy solo. Una noche se acercó al pueblo y escuchó de lejos las conversaciones y las risas de los hombres, y deseó poder volver a ellos, aunque para ello debiera perder la cordura.Al día siguiente fue al pozo que estaba en medio de la plaza y bebió del agua nueva, para poder ser tan loco como los demás. Al instante se olvidó de la advertencia de Khadr y comenzó a entender el lenguaje de los demás. Cuando se volvió a hablar con los que habían sido sus amigos, estos le dijeron: “Te habías vuelto loco, pero has recuperado tu cordura”.

Constitutional law - Charter of Rights - Right to life, liberty and security of person - Fundamental justice - Remedy - Crown prerogative in matters of foreign relations - Interviews conducted in Guantanamo Bay by Canadian officials who knew that Canadian child had been subjected to sleep deprivation techniques - Refusal of the Canadian Government to repatriate its national - Whether the courts below erred in finding that the Respondent's rights under s. 7 of the Charter were breached - If such a breach occurred, whether the remedy was appropriate and just in the circumstances. Mr. Khadr, a Canadian citizen, was taken prisoner in Afghanistan when he was 15 years old and has been detained by U.S. Forces since 2002 at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he is currently facing murder and other terrorism-related charges. During his detention, Mr. Khadr was given no special status as a minor. He was not allowed to communicate with anyone outside Guantanamo Bay until November 2004, when he met with legal counsel for the first time. The Canadian Government has asked, through diplomatic channels, for consular access and other assurances, but it is its policy not to request his repatriation until the conclusion of the prosecution. In 2003, Canadian officials questioned Mr. Khadr, still a minor, at Guantanamo Bay, with respect to matters connected to the charges he is now facing, and shared the product of these interviews with U.S. authorities. In 2006, after formal charges were laid against him, Mr. Khadr sought disclosure in Canada of, notably, the records of the interviews conducted at Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court of Canada ordered the disclosure (“Khadr 2008”). After the information was disclosed, it became clear that when the officials interviewed Mr. Khadr, they were aware that he had been subjected to a form of sleep deprivation, known as the “frequent flyer program”, to make him more amenable and willing to talk. Mr. Khadr asked the Canadian Government to repatriate him, but to no avail. He sought judicial review of the policy and decision of the Canadian Government not to seek his repatriation. The Federal Court granted his application and ordered the Government to seek his repatriation from the U.S. as soon as practicable. In a majority decision, the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the Government's appeal. Argued Date 2009-11-13 Keywords Canadian charter - civil.

Convicted terrorist Omar Khadr got a standing ovation at Dalhousie University after a talk in which he professed his support for open borders and didn't have to answer any challenging questions. True North's Andrew Lawton was there and breaks down what happened in this on-location edition of The Andrew Lawton Show. Rebel Commander Ezra Levant joins to talk about Khadr's refusal for denounce terrorism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Canadian saga of Omar Khadr continues. The case of Omar Khadr and his father, Ahmed Said Khadr, can stand as a metaphor for how Islamist extremism has risen in Canada. Past failures to deal with the Khadr family in the 1990s has led us to where we are today. How does Omar Khadr fit into the current Canadian election? What was my role in his case?

Entrevue avec Frédéric Bérard, docteur en droit et politologue: Retour sur le passage de Omar Khadr à l'émission Tout le monde en parle.
The Ezra Levant Show (April 23, 2019) — Khadr told lie after lie, and no one at the CBC challenged them: That he was just a "translator," not a bomb maker (even though there is video of him making bombs); and now he can't remember" much about what happened, and he took Trudeau's $10.5 million payout "on behalf of all Canadians." And the CBC loved it. GUEST: Lorne Gunter
An Alberta judge in Edmonton decided today Khadr's 8-year sentence, imposed in 2010, has expired. The former Guantanamo Bay prisoner accused of killing an American soldier in Afghanistan in 2002 has completed his sentence and is now as free as any other Canadian citizen. Scott Newark, Adjunct Professor in the TRSS Program in the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University; Former Alberta Crown Prosecutor; Former Vice Chair of the Ontario Office for Victims of Crime; Former Security Policy Advisor to the governments of Ontario and Canada joins the show.
Omar Khadr is asking Alberta youth court to order his release and declare his 8 year sentence over. Khadr
Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! Omar Khadr is many things; a terrorist, a murderer, and even a multimillionaire thanks to the Trudeau Liberals. But how in the world did Google somehow hail Khadr as a Canadian soldier? And why was Gerald Butts yet again going to bat for Omar? Rebel Commander Ezra Levant will try to make sense of it all. There’s an odious double-standard in Canada when it comes to oil. Namely, the stuff coming out of the ground in Alberta is subjected to a gender-based analysis while crude from that enlightened realm called Saudi Arabia, gets a pass. Sheila Gunn Reid joins us to explain. The Brexit saga continues in the United Kingdom! Jack Buckby drops by to give us the very latest on Brexit, aka, the never-ending story. And finally letters. I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my commentary about the City of Toronto banning tobogganing on one of the city’s best hills because the hill in question is... um, too hilly?
The Roy Green Show Podcast - Next Tuesday new federal legislation will allow police to demand a breath sample from a motorist even if there is no suspicion of drinking and driving. Is this a violation of constitutional rights? The Canadian Civil Liberties Association worries the legislation will be discriminatory toward minorities. Our guest Richard Lawhern, Ph.D. Director of Research with the Alliance for the Treatment of Intractable Pain, says “There are several provable falsehoods in” in a new article from U of T magazine, ‘How The Medical System is Trying to Wean Patients Off Opioids.' Most blatantly false is the stated position that physicians over-prescribing to their patients is in any way even related to significant elevation risk for opioid addiction or mortality. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Energy East will never proceed because “there is no support for a pipeline through Quebec.” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joins the show, to remind Trudeau that he is Prime Minister all Canada's Provinces and Territories, not just Quebec. Omar Khadr is seeking changes in his bail conditions. Why didn't Khadr's lawyers appeal for full parole in 2015? Scott Newark says that Khadr was eligible for it at the time. Then, Scott Newark takes on Michael Rafferty's transference to a medium security prison. Guests: Ari Goldkind, Toronto Criminal Lawyer Michael Bryant, Executive Director and general counsel with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Former Ontario Attorney General Richard Lawhern, Ph.D. Director of Research with the Alliance for the Treatment of Intractable Pain Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Newark, Professor with Simon Fraser University, national security expert (post 9/11 advisor to federal and Ontario governments), and former senior policy advisor to a federal Minister for Public Safety See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Omar Khadr is morally equivalent to Paul Bernardo. Except it’s actually worse in some ways — Bernardo is a sick, depraved man. So is Khadr; but Khadr is motivated not by the cruelty itself, but by the cruelty in service of his form of Islam. So he willfully, thoughtfully commits terrorism. GUEST Allum Bokhari
A multi-million dollar check, signed by the Canadian government, and an apology to boot. On top of being transferred out of one of the world's most infamous military prisons, this is what convicted terrorist, Omar Khadr, has received from the federal government. Despite all of this, Khadr was back in front of a judge recently, asking for changes to his bail conditions that include a Canadian passport as well as permission to speak to his sister. It seems freedom and financial security isn't enough and knowing our Prime Minister, he will likely see it the exact same way.
Omar Khadr's lawyers are in Edmonton court today to seek changes to bail conditions for the man. Khadr wants to travel to Saudi Arabia and have permission to talk to his sister. Guest - Ari Goldkind, Toronto Defence Lawyer. China has admitted they have detained two Canadians. But if the US is wanting the CFO of Huawei extradited, why aren't they facing any repercussions? Will China start retaliating b trade deals? How is this going to affect everyone? Guest - Reggie Cecchini, Washington Producer and Correspondent with Global News based in Washington DC. UK prime Minister Theresa May has come forward saying she won't run in the next general election. This comes as she survived a no-confidence vote from the government. Guest - Kurt Huebner, Jean Monnet Chair for European Integration and Global Poltical Economy, Institute for European Studies, UBC
My only hope is that if Khadr blows something up, he does so over there, and not over here. But if he were to murder a Jew or a soldier, as he was paid a bounty to do by Al Qaida, you just know that the Toronto Star would say it was “mental illness,” and Justin Trudeau would call anyone who was upset about it “an Islamophobe.”

Accidentally Distributed Classified Documents Weaken Case Against Canadian Detainee at Guantanamo Lawyers for Canadian citizen Omar Khadr today called on US military prosecutors to drop all charges against their client. The move comes after an unusual mix-up resulted in the distribution of top-secret documents to courtroom reporters attending Khadr's hearing. Stefan Cristoff has more. The US military has been holding the Canadian citizen at Guantanamo Bay since his capture in Afghanistan 5 years ago. Khadr is accused of killing a US soldier after throwing a hand grenade during a firefight. The documents accidentally leaked yesterday include an interview with a US agent who was at the scene of the battle. Sameer Zuberi is with the Canada Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR Canada: (clip) “The latest revelations is that, Omar Khadr was shot twice in the back and that would indicate that he was not a combatant possibly in this fire-fight.” The anonymous agent whose interview appears in the document also says he did not witness Khadr throw the grenade and that – contrary to previous claims – Khadr was not the only person alive at the time US forces stormed the building. For Free Speech Radio News this is Stefan Christoff. /// listen to reports produced for Free Speech Radio News between 2002 - 2012, the flagship Pacifica radio daily news program, these reports were produced in Montreal, but also in Beirut, Lebanon. putting these reports up for archiving purposes, they address numerous grassroots struggles for justice and against oppression, particularly looking at struggles surrounding migrant justice, also indigenous movements for land and rights, while also struggles against colonialist wars today & the persisting impacts of wars past. thank you for listening ! stefan @spirodon

Roy brings Scott Newark in to speak on the subject of whether or not there should be concern about children's well-being in the homes of troubled families. In particular, should children's aid be involved in the case of the children of Joshua Boyle? What about the children in the Khadr home?

The Roy Green Show Podcast Canadian politicians didn't wait for police to finish their investigation before they publicly condemned an alleged attack on an 11-year-old girl, who claimed a man cut her hijab while she was on her way to school. Of course, police concluded that the incident was made up and didn't actually happen. Following this, a column was published in the Washington Post – “Phony Islamophobia panic is ruining Canadian politics” by J.J. McCullough. Guest: J.J.

A Hamilton heckler gets a finger wagging from a prime minister who is all act. And the crowds just eat it up. They shouldn't. Politicians give canned answers. And no one is better at it then Mr. Trudeau. He loves to work crowds. He's good at it. With sleeves rolled up. Tie loose. He will feel your pain, whatever it may be. And he will make you swoon. And if you interrupt him with a challenge. He'll turn into a teacher scolding a naughty student. So he was prepared for when Leigh Stewy disrupted his act.Stewy is politically active. She went to this Hamilton Town hall, because that's what political activists do. Especially when a PM comes to town on a campaign stop we are paying for. You go. You yell. You try to cut through the predictable noise, with the hope that for once, a politician will, be honest. Stewy says she knew he wasn't coming to her section so she stood up. And while she is being cast as a disruptor, and you may not like her approach, she pressed on important issues. Ethics violations, Clinton foundation, eugenics, open borders and Omar Khadr. Mr Trudeau only answered one. Omar Khadr. And it was the same answer we've heard time and again. Trudeau who feigned outrage, got a rousing round of applause. It pained him to fork over 10 million dollars in a secret deal because government failed a convicted terrorist. Except, his answer was spin. His government didn't have to pay Mr Khadr. They could have fought it. Could have let the courts decide. Trudeau, claims it was a cost saving decision, but with deficits ballooning to 28 billion. That doesn't sell. He said Khadr may or may not have killed an American soldier. He did. He killed Christopher Speer. And it wasn't just any government- It was the Liberal government,that turned its back on Khadr. Even so. Trudeau could have delayed. He didn't. He paid. And did it secretly. And then apologized. And polling shows, Stewy is not alone in her anger. 71 percent of the country agree with her. Either way the Liberal friendly crowd. Ate. It. Up. Activists always show up to political events. This time it was Stewy, who says she is bi-partisan, having views on both the right and the left. These “town halls” are sold as an impromptu one on one with Canadians. Be assured, they are very contrived and controlled campaign sessions. Carefully selected Liberal friendly cities to help rehab Trudeau's tarnished brand. So once in a while it's refreshing to hear from someone who doesn't buy his act. And frankly, what have we've learned so far? Not much. Even if asked, Trudeau won't answer for breaking ethics laws. He won't answer why we gave millions to the Clinton foundation which is accused of fraud. He won't answer to First nations group angered by failed promises. He won't answer how and when ISIS fighters got back into Canada and where are they now. Are they on a no fly list? What you will get are man of the people progressive platitudes. So ask what you want but the talking point will be the same. It will be up to the Ottawa reporters to challenge him , and forced him to re-order his thoughts..
Para unos, y especialmente para la derecha canadiense, Khadr es considerado como un terrorista. Para otros este caso es el de un niño soldado que fue sometido a la tortura y que fue injustamente encarcelado y procesado.
Roy is joined by only one of the three Beauties, as well as Aaron Wudrick, to discuss Trudeau's "outrage" over the Khadr payout, tax fairness and more.

First thing first. Go back and listed to episode 59 for your Omar Khadr primer. Conservative member of parliament Erin O'Toole was one person who listened and he had some stuff to say about the episode. So we invited him on the podcast to discuss it. O'Toole has been one of the Conservatives' lead critics of Justin Trudeau's 10.5 million dollar settlement with the polarizing Khadr. O'Toole is also a fellow Dalhousie law school grad and a pretty smart guy. So we jump into the legal weeds on this one and break out some Latin Maxims and Supreme Court of Canada case law. Interesting debates are never easy. So put on your thinking caps and buckle up.
The boys take a break from a vacay at the cottage to lay down some sounds for your earholes. On this episode, tons of great new beer talk, movies that suck that you'll always go to bat for, great movies that you just think are terrible, the good people of Alberta doing some more whining, why the Khadr situation has been so divisive and which side is to blame and tons more. All the great AW content you're used to, all new location. Check out episode 82 right here.
SHEER MADNESS OMAR KHADR GETS 8 MILLION AND AN APOLOGY... US SOLDIER'S WIDOW MAY NEVER SEE A DIME... FOREIGN POLICY/TERRORISM ANALYST: Dan Perkins, is a master storyteller and author of The Brotherhood of the Red Nile Trilogy, which centers around Islamic nuclear terrorism against the USA. He is a nationally recognized expert on radical Islam and and contributor to DailyCaller.com, ClashDaily.com, DailySurge.com and TheHill.com. "Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave Omar Khadr a big payout, but the terroristâ??s real victims may never see any of that money. Canada agreed to pay the former Guantanamo prisoner a reported $8 million in a lawsuit alleging civil rights violations. The settlement included an apology. The Canadian-born Khadr was 15 in 2002 when he tossed a grenade in a firefight that killed U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, a special forces medic. Tabitha Speer, the soldier's widow, and Layne Morris, who was blinded in the firefight, won a $134 million wrongful-death default judgment against Khadr two years ago in Utah. Lawyers for the widow and Morris requested an order freezing Khadrâ??s assets, but last week a Canadian judge threw out the request, calling it â??extraordinary." Conservative Member of the Canadian Parliament and official opposition critic for foreign affairs Peter Kent wrote in The Wall Street Journal Monday that the timing of the payout undermines Tabitha Speerâ??s legal options to collect on the judgment. He added that Trudeauâ??s actions â??are an affront to the memory of Christopher Speer, to Tabitha Speer and her children, to Layne Morris, to our U.S. allies and to all men and women in uniform.â?? He also called the settlement â??a cynical subversionâ?? of Canadian principles."

Listen in as Patrick and Michelle talk candidly about truth, injustice and provide important insights into the life of Omar Khadr.Synopsis of FilmOmar Khadr: child soldier or unrepentant terrorist? The 28-year-old Canadian has been a polarizing figure since he was 15. In 2002, Khadr was captured by Americans in Afghanistan and charged with war crimes. In October 2010, Khadr pleaded guilty to five war crimes, including “murder in violation of the laws of war,” in return for a plea deal that gave him an eight-year sentence and chance to return to Canada. Khadr later recanted his confession.His Guantanamo conviction is being appealed in the U.S courts. After spending nearly half his life behind bars, including a decade at Guantanamo, Khadr is suddenly released. Guantanamo’s Child: Omar Khadr features unprecedented access and exclusive interviews with Khadr during his first few days of freedom in Edmonton, where he was released on bail on May 7, 2015.This documentary delivers an intimate portrait of how a teenager from a Toronto suburb became the center of one of the first U.S. war crimes trial since the prosecution of Nazi commanders in the 1940s. Khadr is the only juvenile ever tried for war crimes. Guantanamo’s Child gives Omar Khadr the opportunity to speak for himself on camera, for the first time.Based in part on Michelle Shephard’s authoritative book Guantanamo’s Child: The Untold Story of Omar Khadr, the documentary takes us from his childhood traveling between a Canadian suburb and Peshawar at the height of the jihad against the Soviets, to Afghanistan and the homes of Al Qaeda’s elite, into the notorious U.S. prisons at Bagram and Guantanamo Bay and back again to Canada. Finally, his story, in his own words.Patrick and Michelle BiosOver the past decade, Patrick Reed has collaborated on several award-winning documentaries for White Pine Pictures. These films have appeared at the most prestigious festivals, been broadcast around the world, honoured with awards and theatrically released. One of Reed’s first assignments with White Pine was researching and co-producing the multi-award-winning Shake Hands With The Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire. In 2007, Reed produced a ratings winner for CBC’s flagship documentary strand, Tar Sands: The Selling of Canada. He followed this up with Pets on Prozac, casting a suspicious eye on the growing phenomenon of pet pharmaceuticals. Reed’s film Triage followed Dr. James Orbinski back to Somalia and Rwanda where he was at the centre of far too many life and death decisions during those country’s years of upheaval. Triage had its world premiere at the 2007 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), where it was voted an audience favourite; and screened at the Sundance Film Festival 2008, and HotDocs, winning a number of international awards.Reed also directed Tsepong: A Clinic Called Hope, a cinema vérité chronicle of the work of doctors and nurses fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Lesotho, Africa. Tsepong received multiple 2007 Gemini Award nominations, and screened internationally at numerous festivals. Reed’s feature documentary, The Team – following the making of a soap opera in Kenya designed to bridge ethnic divides – had its world premiere at IDFA in 2010. The film screened at Human Rights Watch Festivals in London and New York, Full Frame, HotDocs and Silverdocs. Reed recently completed another documentary feature with White Pine Pictures about General Romeo Dallaire and child soldiers, Fight Like Soldiers, Die Like Children, shot in South Sudan, Rwanda and the DR Congo.———-Michelle Shephard has spent more than a decade as the Toronto Star’s National Security reporter, traveling around the world, from the streets of Mogadishu, and Sanaa, to the mountains of Waziristan, through the corridors of power and making more than two dozen trips to the world’s most famous jail in Guantanamo Bay.

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Witness History: Dennis Edney, Lawyer for Omar Khadr, In conversation with Michelle Shephard of the Toronto Star The Empire Club of Canada and Ramsay Talks welcome Alberta lawyer Dennis Edney as he discusses the legal and human rights issues associated with his noted client, Omar Khadr. This is a rare and important opportunity to hear first hand, the details of a uniquely Canadian international story of politics, terrorism, and jurisprudence. Omar Khadr is a Canadian citizen. In July 2002, at age 15, he was captured by the U.S. military after they bombed and assaulted the Afghanistan compound where he was living. The U.S.raid and subsequent firefight resulted in the death of a U.S. soldier and Khadr being severely wounded. At age of 16, he was sent to the U.S. detention facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, where he remained for 10 years before being sent back to prison in Canada. This May, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against the Government of Canada and granted him parole. Professors, doctors, businessmen and even a former senior member of the U.S. military have put their reputations on the line to support the bail application of a man the Canadian government and other detractors have branded a dangerous jihadi terrorist.

In the wake of the recently announced release on bail of Omar Khadr, the Global Research News Hour returns to the case of the young man jailed in the notorious prison camp for nearly a decade. In the first half hour, Khadr's lawyer Dennis Edney expertly debunks many of the talking points being put forward by critics like the Conservative government and Ezra Levant about Khadr's status as a "Confessed terrorist" and outlines the numerous ways in which the Canadian government violated Khadr's Charter rights. In the second half hour, Michel Chossudovsky expands on the Khadr tragedy by pointing to a Seymour Hersh article exposing the protection of Al Qaeda militants in theatre and the known incarceration of civilians at Guantanamo. Chossudovsky explains how the facility serves a propaganda function that enables the so-called "War on Terrorism."
How Layne Morris, the American soldier who lost an eye in the firefight with Al Qaeda operatives including then 15 year old Omar Khadr feel about bail for Khadr. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Janice Williamson, editor of the book, Omar Khadr: Oh Canada, and a professor at the University of Alberta, discusses the release of Khadr from Canadian jail. She reflects on his past history, from his experiences as one of the youngest children imprisoned at Guantanamo to his newfound freedom as the man he is now. She highlights the "sea of demonization" fueled by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has pushed counterterrorism measures in government that are inspired by anti-Muslim racism. During the discussion portion, the show's hosts, Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola, talk about a reparations ordinance that passed in Chicago for police torture survivors, Israel's Knesset becoming even more virulently right-wing and two federal appeals court decisions of significance. One involves three activists having their Sabotage Act convictions reversed, and the other involves the NSA phone records collection surveillance program being ruled unlawful.
Supreme Court of Canada rules police may conduct a limited search of a suspect's mobile phone without obtaining a prior search warrant. The Supreme Court of Canada also agrees to hear the federal government's appeal of the Alberta Court of Appeal's decision that Omar Khadr who confessed to five crimes including murder during his trial at Guantanamo Bay prison must be permitted to serve his remaining time in a provincial prison. The federal government wants Khadr to serve his time in a federal prison. A 45 year old Winnipeg man who intervened in a domestic dispute between a 33 year old male and his girlfriend will not face criminal charges after becoming embroiled in a physical exchange with the 33 year old (Marlon Dean Laronde) who was punched, fell and died. The Crown Attorney calls it a homicide but says the 45 year old man intervened only because he was concerned about the woman's safety. And a New York rap song/video is calling for and depicting the murder of NYPD officers. Participating in the video are public defender lawyers known as the Bronx Defenders who have received more than $40 million from the City of New York. NYPD is furious.

On September 29th, Omar Khadr was brought back to Canada from the U.S. military prison where he'd been held for a decade. A new book of writing called Omar Khadr, Oh Canada examines his story and the political and legal issues it reveals. Ten days before Khadr's return, contributors to the book held a launch in Vancouver. They debated and discussed the importance of Khadr's story, and what it means for Canada and Canadian citizens. Legal scholar Grace Woo was part of the discussion. Listen in from a RedEye podcast. November marks the second anniversary of a now-notorious article in McLean's magazine' 2010 Campus issue. It was titled “Too Asian?”. That article sparked anger across Canada over how racialized people are perceived and treated in Canada's educational institutions. “Too Asian?” Race, Privilege and Post-Secondary Education is one book that sprang out of the controversy. Jeet Heer contributed to, and co-edited the compilation. Here he is, speaking with Matt Adams on radio book lounge. When actor and author Phillip Sheppard was a young man he was prepared to go to school in Physics. He gathered up his pencils and his calculators. Then he bought a bicycle and travelled to Japan to study Noh theatre instead. Here he is explaining how he made that choice to Lyn Thompson and a flock of boisterous seagulls on Living on Purpose. During an interview about the tragic suicide of Amanda Todd, Meghan Murphy asked political writer and social commentator Melinda Tankard about the rising trend of sexualizating girls, and where she sees it.

Omar Khadr was captured by American Forces in July 2002 in Afghanistan following a firefight between Afghani insurgents and US soldiers. Severely wounded by two M-16 bullets in his back, Khadr, who was just 15 at the time, was flown to Bagram airbase where he was treated for his injuries and later subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques” before being transported to the notorious US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The US government deemed Khadr an “enemy combatant” in 2002 which allowed US military interrogators to use “enhanced techniques” on the teenager that are described by various human rights groups as forms of torture that would otherwise be banned under the Geneva Conventions. Khadr's “enemy combatant” status also allowed an American military tribunal to prosecute the young Canadian for war crimes despite being defined as a child soldier by the United Nations. Khadr is the only child soldier ever to be tried for war crimes. Khadr languished in Guantanamo Bay for eight years before pleading guilty to five war crimes charges in October 2010 including murder for allegedly throwing a grenade in the 2002 firefight that killed a US soldier. Khadr's Canadian lawyer, Dennis Edney, have suggested that the Canadian still maintains his innocence and only agreed to the guilty plea so he could be repatriated to Canada. Despite urgings from the US government and several rulings by Canadian Courts, the Canadian government refused on multiple occasions to seek the repatriation of Khadr to Canada. Canada is the only western nation that did not seek and receive the return of one of its citizens from the Guantanamo Bay prison. In January 2010, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that the failure of the Canadian government to seek Khadr's return to Canada was a violation of his Charter rights.
