The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) says the organization’s petition calling on the Trudeau government to revoke its offer of a $10 million payout to Omar Khadr had already reached 52,000 signatures.
“With over 52,000 names in under 48 hours, it is clear this issue has struck a nerve,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “The notion of giving $10 million in taxpayer money to Khadr is so outrageous that many Canadians are simply beside themselves.”
The CTF will deliver the petition to the Trudeau government, b wants to ensure all Canadians wanting to sign the petition will have their chance before delivery.
The CTF’s petition opposing the $10 million financial payment to Khadr is available HERE.
