Globe/CP say Canfor, others hear PM pan Tories on Khadr

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, July 22, edition that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau panned the Conservative campaign lambasting him for a generous federal payout to Omar Khadr. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the PM on Friday said domestic politics should stay within Canada's borders. He said he will continue to work with opposition parties ahead of talks to rejig the North American free-trade agreement next month, but that Canadians expect domestic disputes will not derail those discussions. Senior Liberals have accused Conservatives of fanning anti-Trudeau sentiment in U.S. ads ahead of NAFTA negotiations, but Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer has argued the Grits are to blame for any U.S. backlash over the Khadr payment. Mr. Trudeau said the decision was taken to save the country money and to defend the basic rights and freedoms of all Canadians. The PM said: "Omar Khadr was going to show up in court with a note from the Supreme Court with his name on it saying that his rights had been violated. There is no question we were going to lose this case because governments of different stripes violated his fundamental rights and freedoms."
