Guest: Scott Taylor, war journalist
Is Omar Khadr a victim or a terrorist?
Many think he is a terrorist, but Scott Taylor – a former Canadian Armed Forces Commando, former Ansar-al-Islam hostage and the founder of Esprit de Corps Magazine – says he is a victim.
It is a complex question, once you factor in Mr. Khadr's life, the treatment (and neglect, as some would argue) of his human rights, and the process to return him to Canada.
We sat down with Scott Taylor for a conversation about the reasons why Mr. Khadr should be seen as a victim and how we need to examine Canada's treatment of human rights.
We invited Michelle Vanderzon of The Kettle Society to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the role that not-for-profit organizations are playing in meeting the needs of people facing mental health, substance abuse, and poverty issues.
Over the next five weeks, Conversations That Matter will sit down with the five public opinion poll leaders (according to Research Co.) who want the mayor’s job, to discuss how they will address these issues and what the City will look like after their term in office.
