14 years ago @ Macleans.ca - Ottawa fighting Khadr ... · 0 replies · 0 points

I am hoping that the aim of this process is the government being able to determine foreign policy without it being subject to court opinion. Under the liberals, the courts of this nation had become emboldened and dictated foreign as well as domestic policy.
It would be wise to remember that these court "opinions" are simply that, and no government should be subject to them. A government answers only to the people, and in this case it seems to me that a substantial part of the population does not want Khadr coming back, ever. I do not know if the charter "notwithstanding" clause can apply here or not, but it would seem appropriate if it could.
