Not sure if it is an issue..... likely but I'll stick to number real issues.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s Liberal government has appointed one of Omar Khadr‘s former lawyers as a justice in federal court.

Or Brian Lilley's take

What I can tell you about John Norris is that he has defended a number of terrorists and accused terrorists. In fact he seems to seek that out. A look at his website shows he acted as Omar Khadr’s lawyer in one lawsuit against the Canadian government and acted as an intervener in two other cases effectively supporting Khadr’s position.

He acted for Suresh Sriskandarajah, a man that pled guilty to terrorism charges for helping the Tamil Tigers. Norris acted for Raed Jaser, one of the men convicted in the Via Rail plot to blow up passenger trains above the Niagara Gorge. Other notable clients include Mahmoud Jaballah, Adil Charkoui, members of the Toronto 18 and more.

None of this is illegal or immoral but it is telling in terms of where now Justice Norris’ sympathies lie. Defence lawyers that brepresent bank robbers and other criminals bring a certain sympathy to the court with them. Prosecutors bring a different sympathy to the bench.

We now have a judge that has shown a sympathy for folks accused of the most heinous crimes appointed to the court and I have to tell you, I don’t like it.


I would have to say that as for me ..... it makes me very uncomfortable that the Liebral government of Justin Trudeau (Think Omar Alghabra, his brother Sasha as an advisor, etc....) that this man is a Federal Judge! IF he is a man of integrity and justice.... great.... but given the behaviour of this government.... is he is another lib ideologue or worse ..... ????

It's the "worse" part that worries me.

Please tell me it isn't so? I admit, I'm not 100% up on things, but Sacha? Advisor?

In the news he of course came up in the "tax all but the eau's" changes..

But like all the Liebral "openness" items, it is a secret it seems and I don't have time, so if anyone has a complete list please add, I would be very happy to be wrong in including him, besides there are enough others like him in this gov't sadly.
