The estimated jackpot for Wednesday's Lotto 6/49 is $7 million, or chump change if your name happens to be Omar Khadr.

The Trudeau government is reportedly set to settle a civil suit launched by Khadr, and pay the young Canadian al-Qaida operative upwards of $10 million, as well as officially apologize to him for not treating him with kid gloves and intervention hugs.

How cruel of us, reads the acquiescent fine print, to treat him like the terrorist he was, and not as a misguided "child soldier."

Meanwhile, U.S. Marine Sgt. Christopher Speer, killed in Afghanistan where we lost 159 of our own, has been dead now for 15 years, thanks to a grenade tossed by Khadr.

Two weeks before receiving his mortal wounding, Speer was awarded the Soldier's Medal for risking his life to save two Afghan children trapped in a minefield.

So excuse us if our heart does not bleed for Khadr like the progressives now cheering his civil court victory.

Excuse us, too, that we think it is hideous for Ottawa to give him $10 million in taxpayers' money, and an even more hideous to apologize for not coming to his rescue when the Americans first captured him -- but not before U.S. medics saved his life -- and tossed him into Guantanamo Bay for war crimes.

Ah, the apple and the tree. They don't easily part.

Omar Khadr's father, a well-documented al-Qaida insurgent, was killed in 2003 during a firefight with Pakistani forces. His younger brother was shot and rendered a paraplegic in the same battle in which his father was killed. A third spent five years in jail on a U.S. extradition request before finally being released.

And yet another bragged to the press about being a proud member of an "al-Qaida family."

Let us not forget, too, that Omar Khadr pleaded guilty to Speer's murder in 2010, and was sentenced to eight more years in prison.

So this is the price we pay for bringing him "home" two years later so he could serve the rest of his sentence in Canada, and then sue us for trampling on his rights.

Ten million big ones, and a grovel.
