The Trudeau Liberals truly have no shame.

Mark our words, the $10.5 million payout to Canadian-born al-Qaida combatant Omar Khadr will be a millstone around the Liberals’ neck that will hopefully sink any hope they have of re-election.

The majority of Canadians are sickened.

Our prime minister, off at the G20 summit, didn’t even face Canadians himself, but sent out three of his cabinet ministers to polish the unpolishable.

By rewarding and then apologizing to Omar Khadr, who fought with the Taliban against American forces and was convicted of tossing the grenade that killed U.S. Army Sgt. Christopher Speer, our government just slapped the face of every Canadian who has ever worn our country’s military uniform.

It has insulted beyond repair the names of those who died and those who lost limbs or were severely wounded during our military mission in Afghanistan.

We have seen the video of Khadr making the kind of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that claimed the lives of 97 of our soldiers along the roadsides surrounding Kandahar.

How many of those shrapnel-packed bombs did Khadr make?

If it was only one, it was one too many.

Suffice it to say he was making those IEDs to kill Canadian, American and allied soldiers.

By rights, Omar Khadr should have been tried for treason, not rewarded for being the traitor that he is.

The Criminal Code of Canada reads that anyone who “assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country, is guilty of high treason.”

The penalty is life imprisonment.

It is not $10.5 million and an apology.

A pox on the Liberals, too, for the way they rolled out Khadr’s payoff – using selective media leaks – so that it wouldn’t hit the fan in one stinking heap.

It’s sneaky, it's conniving, but it is also the way the Liberals operate.

They are without shame, a collective disgrace.

The 2019 federal election cannot come soon enough.

The Trudeau Liberals deserve to go down, with the Khadr millstone rightfully taking them straight to the bottom.
