this post makes no sense because he was captured in 2002.
if anyone that should be blamed, blame Omar's father
Khadr was captured -- again, as a
child soldier -- in 2002. He wasn't brought back to Canada until 2012. So sure, blame his father for bringing the family there in the first place, but Harper allowed a Canadian citizen to rot in a prison with documented cases of prisoner abuses for 6 years, well after the rest of the world had caught on, with the U.S. practically begging us to take him off their hands. If you're going to argue that Canada shouldn't be party to international conventions on children in armed conflict (to say nothing of our general approach to rehabilitating minors, rather than trying them as adults), go ahead, but recognize that that's a pretty messed up position to take.
It will be interesting to see what happens. In the most recent polling, Angus has a bit of a lead over Singh but it seems like Singh is still trying to find his footing in the race.
I don't think you can trust any polling of the NDP race. The most I've seen is that they poll self-identified "NDP supporters", which doesn't tell you much, since only paid members can vote. It's a one-member, one vote system, so it's easier to game out than the CPC race was, but absent polls of just members, it's hard to tell where the race is going.
That said, we can see fundraising numbers and those would seem to indicate that Angus has a huge lead, since he raised almost as much as everyone else put together during the first quarter of the year. The second quarter just ended, and unlike the first quarter, these numbers will include Singh's totals. If neither he nor Ashton/Julian/Caron have cut into Angus' advantage now, it's going to be really hard for them to win 90 days from now.
