text: My question is why isn't Canada trying this individual for treason? Under s46 of the Criminal Code, a person commits "high treason" who a) kills, attempts to kill, wounds, imprisons, or restrains the sovereign, b) wages war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto, or c) assists an enemy at war with Canada or any armed force against whom Canadian forces are engaged in. Instead we're paying him over 10.5 million dollars! There are many minors who commit capital offenses (ie. murder) that are deemed eligible to be tried in adult courts, Mr. Khadr in my opinion qualifies. The Canadian courts should allow Tabitha Speer, the widow of Sergeant Christopher Speer. Sgt. Speer to receive this money. Mr. Khadr should now be put on trial in Canada for treason.
