Rob Greely and Rebels, here is the draft. Please let me know if I have overlooked something. I tried to keep it as succinct as possible. I will start e-mailing this week.



Dear Honourable Member (insert name)



I am one of the 71% of Canadians who are angered by the Liberal government’s decision to pay a convicted terrorist 10.5 million dollars, and issue an apology to Omar Khadr. Three Prime Ministers before Trudeau recognized this fact and never would have negotiated a backroom deal; instead, this matter would have been argued in court where all the facts of Khadr’s treason would have come to light. His admissions, then recanting, then admitting and recanting…would have been scrutinized carefully. He had legal representation and was not subjected to torture.

Omar Khadr was repatriated after the Supreme Court ruling, which was the remedy for the government. This was a hard pill to swallow for many Canadians, as Khadr was sentenced to 40 years in jail following a trial in the United States. Remember, there is footage of Khadr building IED’s and his family was connected to Osama bin Laden. He was released in Canada and pursued a lawsuit for just over 20 million dollars.

He most certainly should not have received a settlement or an apology. He murdered an ally and maimed another. He was trained by terrorists and was 54 days shy of his sixteenth birthday; making him an unlawful enemy combatant, not a child soldier as the media and the government would like us to believe.

Mr. Goodale & Prime Minister Trudeau purposefully mislead Canadians after the settlement was released, and the actions of the government will never be forgotten. The Prime Minister was conveniently away and the announcement he made in Ireland did not include the terrible fact the money had been released already and the Speer family would not have access to it; the government helped Khadr again and deprived a widow of money to raise her fatherless children. Add insult to injury, the government chose July 4 to further antagonize our greatest Ally.

The veterans of this great nation are outraged as well. We had troops in Afghanistan and there were Canadian terrorists actively fighting to kill Canadians and our American allies. Our soldiers were killed and repatriated, with a death benefit for the family of $360 000.00

Omar Khadr and his family are a horrible blight on Canada, and the government has brought shame to our country. The election in 2019 will be our chance to fight back and eject the Liberal government from office. Canadians will send a clear message that Justin Trudeau is not fit to lead beyond his first term. Liberal MP’s will be shocked and upset by this, though, they shouldn’t be.

There is a remedy for any Liberal MP would like to remain in office beyond 2019. Justin Trudeau has a long list of broken campaign promises, and he most certainly lacks the transparency he claims to have. His voters are becoming more alarmed with the direction he is taking Canada in, this latest fiasco will cement Trudeau’s downfall. The Opposition will continually remind the Canadian voter how to avoid such derangement in the future.



A Canadian reporter, Candice Malcolm, aptly summed up what Canadians are thinking,

“Canada should not treat traitors and enemies the same way we treat loyal citizens. That’s why Trudeau’s submission to a convicted terrorist is so troubling. He seems to prefer appeasing the enemy – downplaying jihadist attacks and making symbolic gestures that are counter to Canadian sensibilities. First, he refuses to take away the citizenship of convicted terrorists, now he’s giving cash and an apology to al-Qaida royalty.

In the war against global jihadist insurgency, Trudeau doesn’t have his priorities straight.”



Liberal MP’s can remove Justin Trudeau as leader, or if enough of you walk across the floor to remove his power, you may be able to keep some seats in the future. Principles do not have a political affiliation. What principles are you willing to sacrifice for the current Prime Minister?



In closing, I donated a fair amount to the fund which has been set up to help Tabitha Speer and her children. They are the true victims in all this. We are hoping to raise a million dollars. Canadians care about them, and how our government re-victimized this family by paying the terrorist Omar Khadr.



I recommend you take the summer to evaluate what you will do when Parliament resumes.



Sincerely,

Tammie Putinski-Zandbelt

A Canadian voter with the power to change our circumstances in 2019.
