Trudeau gave Omar Khadr, who confessed to murdering an American soldier, $10,500,000 for supposedly being mistreated in Guantanamo. And now this. It is clear which side Justin Trudeau is on, just as it is clear which side all of the Western political and media elites are on. What remains an open question is whether Canadians will throw him out of office and elect officials who will actually represent and protect Canadians, rather than continually sell them out, and whether the populations of other countries in the West will do the same.
“Trudeau government appoints former Omar Khadr lawyer as federal judge,” by Maham Abedi, Global News, February 27, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s Liberal government has appointed one of Omar Khadr‘s former lawyers as a justice in federal court.
Story continues below advertisementThe appointment of Toronto-based lawyer John Norris was announced by Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould Monday. Elizabeth Walker, a lawyer and chairperson of the RCMP External Review Committee, was also appointed to the position.
Norris and Brydie Bethell were Khadr’s lawyers from August 2011 until they stepped down in January 2013. They represented him in his legal battle against the government’s Ministry of Public Safety in 2011, which ultimately resulted in the former child solder’s return to Canada. The criminal and national security lawyer has also indirectly been involved with cases involving Khadr in the past.
The lawyer has taken on several other high-profile criminal cases involving murder, suspected terrorism and sexual assault. According to his website, he has appeared in the Supreme Court of Canada about 20 times.
Norris is also an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law and has worked with several legal advocacy organizations over the years.
The Trudeau government’s appointment of Norris led to online criticism Tuesday. Several Twitter users expressed surprise that Trudeau — after agreeing to give Khadr a $10.5-million payout — would also appoint his lawyer as a judge.
Lorne Waldman, a Toronto-based lawyer at Waldman & Associates LLP., explained that all criminal lawyers represent controversial figures — and that shouldn’t reflect on their personal views….

Canada probably could have a commission to look into the possibility, which will last until the next ice age, then be reconvened after the glaciers recede.

This reminds me of former Gov. Chris Christie in NJ. How we held our breath that Trump would not make him part of his administration. Christie appointed quite a few Muslim judges. He turned out to be a sheep in wolves clothing.
One of the more egregious picks is Sohail Mohammed appointed to serve as a Superior Court judge in Passaic County. Mohammed was an immigration lawyer in Clifton, NJ who notably defended many Muslims caught up in post-Sept. 11 dragnets, in which the Department of Justice quickly and secretly arrested hundreds of Muslims in the wake of the attacks. The outcome of that was Muslims scheduled to BE deported were given a reprieve and allowed to stay. Their deportation was unrelated to 9/11. People were outraged. His defense of the Muslims was successful and continues to be lenient with Muslims as expected. Of course Christie hid behind we need more diversity! Sohail often holds job fairs at Mosques to encourage more Muslims to get involved involved in our legal system.
One of Christies UNFORGIAVBLE parting shots for Muslims was legalizing child brides. Yes, you read that right. Even the corrupt DEMS didn’t want that. The law was supposed to NOT allow under age marriages. Christie VETOED enactment of state bill A3091. He stated, “An exclusion without exceptions would violate the cultures and traditions of some communities In New Jersey based on religious traditions. Judicial oversight would permit consideration of these factors in the 16 and 17 year old time frame.” Christie just gave a win for pedophiles, Islam and NAMBLA all in the same day.
Minors need the approval of the court if younger than 16, and 18 if there is no parental consent. The exclusion will allow for child brides instead of having them ADHERE to OUR normal laws for marital age. NJ now accommodates Sharia Law. You would be shocked at how many states ALLOW child brides. If you want a child bride, go to Sohail Mohammand or another MUSLIM judge appointed by Christie. They will understand your perverted need to abuse a little girl.

I always knew Christie was a muslum collaborator but I never knew the depth to which his treachery extended. Thanks.

Not a shot is being fired as they infiltrate the legal system. We know how it works. DEMS use the 9th circuit court, 4th or D.C. court to get their way and depending on the issue it will go to the Supreme Court if they will hear it…. Muslims will now judge shop and do the same thing. Now Canada will be doing that. Have fun Canada as you lose your country to Islam and become irrelevant and inferior as an infidel.

And what “justice” this “judge” will promote? Sharia, of course. Or “judging” cases of “Moslemphobia.”

I have trouble labeling any lawyer who defends a criminal as a suspect personality , just because of it ! It’s a job, and draws quite an income, it is also the right of anyone to have representation in a trial. Forcing a lawyer to agree with the defendant before taking the case is or should not be necessary,
I’m think this headline is intentionally slanted against Trudeau AND the lawyer, but having no dog in your fight, it’s just an observation.

Of course, no one has a dog in this or any other fight, which is why the hyenas of islam have walked all over western europe, and every where else they can. A muslim dog will bury the bones of those who think that by being indifferent, they will not be involved.

It is commonplace to attack judicial appointments. At least in the US it is. Although, for most federal judgeships, the appointment requires the advice and consent of the senate. But, the news media is constantly making outright attacks against conservative appointments. New Sweden is New Sweden … they have their own ways of doing things ….

Trudeau is a WORTHLESS F AG!! A traitor who hates your country and quite possibly the boy is a mentally ill Anthony Perkins type, all because his mother had exposed her “bits” in public.
The boy can’t quite get over that and it is DRIVING him literally with INSANE hatred for the West.

Just what is Turdeau’s agenda? Does he want Canada to be a muslim state? And why’ has he secretly converted?
If he keeps allowing muslims to flow in and keeps appointing them to positions of power then there will be only one outcome and the non muslim peoples of Canada will be 2nd class citizens in their own country.
PROSCRIBE ISLAM!

It is ridiculous to impute the integrity of a criminal defence lawyer by who his clients are. A fundamental tenet of democracy is the right to a fair trial, no matter what you are accused of. Pamela should know better. Stating he defended Omar Khadr doesn’t mean he sympathized with him. He may be good, bad, or indifferent as a federal judge. We cannot draw any conclusions about this lawyer’s suitability for the role from the information presented here. Even the last line of the article states “all criminal lawyers represent controversial figures — and that shouldn’t reflect on their personal views….”

Ichabod, I agree to a degree. It shouldn’t be a factor in assessing the integrity of a defence lawyer but these are just people after all, and they have demonstrated too many times that their own bias can influence the direction they may take in the cases they represent. Perhaps more importantly, this appointment is sullied by the reputation of the man who did the appointing. Trudeau is obviously a muslim sympathiser and a deceiver, and as such it makes it near impossible to not infer some kind of nefarious backroom dealings – almost like a thank you for doing such a great job with Omar my ” unofficial friend by extension “. As much as I despise him, did Canada get the PM it deserved ?

I can’t help wondering whether this appointment was part of the Omar Khadr payout package.

Turdeau is a terrorist in the mold of Mao Tse Tung whom his father Pierre admired so much. He took the Shahada, prayer (becoming a Muslim) at a terrorist-breeding mosque in Montreal a short while back. Instead of prosecuting returning terrorists for treason and sedition, UnJustin MoTurdeau forgives them on behalf of all of his Sharia-loving, Caliphate-loving, Snowflake, Communist World Government-minded fellow Canadians; one of whom I am definitely not. He is terrorizing me and any fellow Canadians who oppose him. My psycho-analysis of him is that he is a psychopath – an arrogant, narcissistic bully, full of deception, lying like a rug to weasel out of any criticism of him as he goofs off around the world before his “adoring” audiences who are as fascistic as he is. Whew! I’m tired of finding examples of his sociopathic “Sunny Ways”. Cyril D. Winter, Ottawa, Canada, _ a frustrated, wannabe Snowflake. p.s. I wonder why I find all of this analysis to be so tiring – I guess that I am not qualified to criticize and analyze the poor little ‘man-boy’. I wonder if I will ever make the grade as a Snowflake? Boo Hoo!
