In a year-end interview with CTV, Trudeau was asked several questions about national security – revealing the Liberal government’s various blind spots when it comes to combatting Islamist terrorism.

First, when asked about his government’s decision to extend an apology and $10.5 million settlement to convicted al-Qaida terrorist Omar Khadr, Trudeau sounded indignant.

“I am frustrated and outraged about having to make that settlement,” said Trudeau.

“Frustrated and outraged”?

It was Trudeau’s government that decided to settle with Khadr and not fight back in court.

It was his government that landed on the $10.5 million figure, his government that effectively blocked attempts from Khadr’s victims – the Speer family – to try and recover the money, and Trudeau’s office that initially attempted to hide the deal from the public.
