poor guy you can tell he is nervous to go up there. I thank him for his service!
Saad Merhebi you are right hhh
Saad and Hikmat, change your names to John and Jason, ya kilaab
I think he is more angry than nervous and that is the PM who he is supposed to be respectful too so it's awkward.
Hes not nervous hes pissed off
@@SamiZ1960 John and Jason, because they resemble english names? allow me to educate you on the origins of everything you believe. the aramaic, pre arabic names, the original language of Jesus himself, are Isah (jesus), yousef (joseph), mariam (mary), yacoob (jacob) and many more. I promise you ill school you in anything you have to say.
I actually met brock, he's a chill guy
He has every right to be angry at the world but he lives life like every day is his last
Thank you for your service brock
Brock seems like a cool dude and he gad every right to be frustrated but Trudeau answers in his usual lame way
😊
Hope he’s doing alright
I feel for this and all veterans that is being ignored. Trudeau must go
lets do it .... Trudeau GO GO GO GO TO HELL
MAKE TRUDEAU A DRAMA TEACHER AGAIN
I'm a leftist/liberal guy and I agree. Not gunna vote for this guy again
Merlin Krisp
We will replace him with Kevin O Leary
lol 3.6 billions to Veterans much much more than the previous gouvernement. for omar it would have costed much more in court, there is no way the gouvernement could have fought the proof he had, was a defeat before it arrived.
i love when people forget facts deliberatly for their opinion...
This makes me sick to hear about. I feel terrible and mad. That veteran deserves respect for standing up and explaining how he feels. I stand with him before any Trudeau government.
"They are asking for more than we can give" mean while we are going to give billions in aid to other countries to make sure they are okay and they can feed their poor, but screw those who have fought for your country...
This is why I hate liberals
@Joey Style agreed
Exactly.
Good on you Corporal Brock, good on you soldier! I'm happy to see you stood up to him. I hope something good comes out of this, for ALL the vets who served Canada!
Unfortunately we all know nothing will come from it because our government are nothing but tratorist corrupt crooks.
So sorry for you Brock you took the golden hand shake from the conservatives . Now wait to see what the conservatives do to help you . Wait for it , don't hold your breath though .
Sadly I doubt anything will change as it's much easier to pay attention to BLM protests who will burn down a city, whereas vets just sit in silence...alone...and suffer.
The despot Trudeau is a VERY POOR excuse for a leader.
As far as I’m concerned as soon as you step foot on Syrian soil to fight along side isis you are no longer a Canadian.
That should be a no brainer with the Canadian government!
or any allied government but they continue to waste millions on them including excessive legal fees.
it s so true you think that would be in place already but apparently not
Yeah this is something that the conservatives did too.
A Christian you are delusional.
Make trudeau a drama teacher again
Make Trudeau a part-time on-call replacement teacher again for when the t=real teacher is ill. He never was more than a substitute supply teacher. He had no teaching creds nor does he hold any degree.
I have a much better idea of what to do with him,but it has nothing to do with education.
That should be his career.
Vote his ass out next election. :)
I hope he loses by a land slide next election. You have a social justice warrior in power.
Thank you for what you did for Canada it’s never gonna be forgotten
man takes a 215K vacation and says they dont have enough to give to a war hero....
From an American, i know we need to treat our war heroes a lot better too, but this Canadian hero deserves way more respect than Trudeau ever did.
And gave $500,000,000 of taxpayer money to a charity that paid his family $500,000
Justin's not worth the cost
We threw away more than a billion dollars worth of expired vaccines and procured 90 million more doses shortly after when nobody is getting them. We send billions to Ukraine to prolong the war there.

Can't pay a veteran dignified compensation, but almost every government employee is on now on the sunshine list and guaranteed increased benefits and salaries every single year. Trudeau since every Prime - Minister has been complicit with improving the country, could you please tell us what compensation Canadians should expect?
Wait till we get hyperinflation and destruction of our currency.
@@johnh173 hello from the future
@@johnh173 🎯you spoke 4 years in advance.
@@johnh173 and still ongoing
@@johnh173 you had an impressive crystal ball... we're living it now :(
Trudeau would rather send millions out of our country then keeping it here to help vets or canadians in need
Gives over 2 Billion to the UN, but no money for our Vets. What a disgrace
You're an idiot and obviously American. Trudeau changed the system back to pension for life instead of lump sum payments.
@@rosestewart1606 "Not only does the pension option not pay any additional amounts for family members, the average monthly payment is expected to be around $200. Compare that to the pre-2006 pension that pays up to $2733 monthly, with an average of $680."
How's that pension plan going, genius?
It is not about emotions it's about THE LAW, had Omar taken Canadian government to the court he could have gotten a bigger payout because he was held in prison without a fair trial. Justin has no family relations with him. Canadian constitute was not written by Justin, it's the LAW, If anything Justin saved us from a bigger payout by settling outside the court and in process protected Canadian constitute.
All canadians should get together and protest.
10 million to Omar Khadr.... Where do you think that money ended up?
THat money is probably now in the form of isis-owned ak-47's that are now killing Canadian soldiers.
@@karlkimber6752 Blah Blah Blah. Your brain is on vacation
We know at least 3 million of it went to buy a building where he is now a commercial landlord....
Well if you had paid attention you'd know $3M went to buying a strip mall in Alberta.
@Private Number Dont forget the non resident voter cards Trudeau has given out . 2.8 million of them , This will NOT go over well with Canada and Canadians . watch and see
What a hero this veteran is. I appreciate your service to our country.
New Conservative government right around the corner.
It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government still gets in.
👍
Veterans, zero, terrorists $10.5 MILLION. Can anyone explain that?
stevejh69 It’s a shame for the vets that served are country are not compensated
stevejh69 the canadian public are at fault. He got re-elected.
10.5 million is nothing compared to the Heroine leaving Afghanistan every year.
Can you explain to me that 10 million stuff? I mean what happened? The government gave some money away?
@@mateovazquez6685 Basically the gov reached a settlement in court with Omar Khadr for that amount. He was suspected for a number of terror related offenses and crimes relating to our wars in the middle east. However he was never given due process and was tortured etc for false confessions and then imprisoned. and while much of this torture etc was done by Americans our gov was involved.
Bye bye trudeau 2019
Oh I don't think so,in fact, I suspect that your not too confident about what will happen yourself. Let's continue this discussion after the next Trudeau victory!
God I hope so.
Fred Robinson lol what makes you so confident...if these stupid acts continue he will not be reelected.
Canadians are sufficiently intelligent to realize that ALL governments, to varying degrees, make unpopular decisions, however, the political usefulness of any and every government should be judged by their overall performance. We do not fire people for doing a good job so what happened to Mr. Harper? lol times a million!
At least harper didn't pay a CONVICTED terrorist 10.5 million dollars. He also didn't reintegrate ISIS soldiers. How much of an idiot can someone be to do such things.
He's a joke can't afford too pay veteran's but pays khadr it was his decision why are they clapping
I think he already said why he paid Khadr.
Agreed
No...we can't afford to pay some veterans twice. If you were Canadian you'd know that the program was changed...it wasn't working so they changed it back.
He give 10 million dollars to Isis!!
@@mohammadalihaseli3123 10.5 mil**
So $10 million to a bad guy... That would have been so much money to be dispersed to the number of Canadian soldiers that were injured and who really need help and money.
imagine if he did win the 40 mil
Some say bad, some say a little kid who was protecting his home and family. Stay out of peoples homes, and invading over drugs and power.
You do realize that Kahdr was tortured, which is illegal? Would you have preferred the government fight it inb court for 10 years and spend 4 times as much, and still get the same result?
“They are asking for more then we can give”
*stares at WE charity’s 900million dollar bribe*
*stares at 1 trillion dollar debt under Trudeau’s 5 years*
This has aged like milk. How great.”
Thank you sir. Thank you for your passion and your strength and.......... for giving me a moment to stutter and think about some bs I'm trying to come up with
Mad respect from one American veteran to my Canadian veteran brother.
Trudeau the Cheater!
and big liar
We like to say TRUDIOU I.O.U.
His citizenship should have been revoked when he fought against it.
@National Autistic Socialism Against his will? Have you seen the photos of him smiling, posing with victims severed feet and hands?
@National Autistic Socialism You didn't know right from wrong at 12? Yikes
@National Autistic Socialism Family? You should educate yourself on what happened. It was not a family home. It was an Al-Queda compound you muppet
Eazy B what was he supposed to do?
How to be a millionaire in Canada? Send your minor son to fight against Canada and boom you've got 10 million in your pocket🙄
I'm still in shock that this kindegarden teacher, was reelected.
Vince Hughes it was rigged
he talks like a kindegarden teacher it suits him
You are uneducated .
He was reelected again.
Wow, this is a very intelligent question by this young veteran and I feel disgrace that our Primeminister couldn't give him a striat answer. The 10,000,000.00 that he gave to Omar Kadar should have been given to our veterans. As a fourth generation Albertan I believe that I am qualified to think as a Canadian and if a person takes up arms against our country, that's when I condone justified extreme treatment of a individual. I would of supported seeing the 30,000,000.00 in court fees and set an example that Canada will never condone this type of action.
Give that vet the order of Canada, now.
I'd rather give him a glock instead of that microphone.....he'd know what to do next.
@@rogerc23 Commit a crime?
@@abd_cheese7353 ending Trudeau is not a crime. It’s called liberation and it’s legal and 100% moral.
Here's the difference between Trump and guys like Trudeau/Obama - Trump gets things done, these guys tell you it's getting done with no real date to rely on.
aintgonnahappen, big No to Liberals!
Trump would never do something like this. Everyone is mad at him because he doesn't want illegals and wants private healthcare system. I don't' think he is wrong, we pay so much in taxes than Americans do and get low quality of service in the hospitals. People wait in the emergency rooms for days just because the rooms in the hospitals are full making the waiting times for other patients in line increase (from personal experience). The USA already has single payer system called the VA for veterans and they hate it.
next election hope conservatives come to power.
Good points bkit5
haha Trumps getting stuff done 😂😂 thats a sely good one hahah, especially Obama did so much more. Trump did nothing and Fought for an entire year to pass a bill in a senate and congress that is republicain, even got a shutdown( first time un us History it happens when the president control both chambers) Even his own party admit he is incompetent... its simply sad man
Canada hasn't been laughed at this much since the South Park Movie.
I don't like how right you are
His trip to India was a big joke too.
……..and now he fled at the sight of truckers.
Stop giving money to other countries
. Support our veterans!
Justin should have be kicked out of office right at this point. Hands down no questions asked .
Trudeau= dissapointment.
"I'm going to dodge your question, and repeatedly thank you--and I'll get away with it because I'm PM Zoolander"
That veteran should be prime minister as I think he has more honour and respect for Canada and its citizens that that waste of space Turdeau
Connelly.....absolutely
Connell MacCool Spot on.🇨🇦
Ret?
Buddy lives up the street from me, needless to say i gave him a hug for this one
My father fought for freedoms in WW 2. The father of our "leader" refused to serve.
You can see where he gets his values.
This is a huge shame. What is happening in Canada happened 20 years ago in France and we are seeing the harsh consequences today... I hope Canadians rectify their future soon.
3 years later and getting worse,
Who told him to come to Afghanistan
He had no business there
It’s happening rn
4 years later... Significantly worse now
I wonder how Italian-Canadians feel about Justin's comparison of returning ISIS terrorists to the experience of Italian immigrants after WW2. I am not Italian, but if I was I'd be quite angered. To even suggest that there is a parallel is ludicrous.
They are not mutilating their girls genitals to fetch a higher bid for marriage I hope.
Oh you can't tell Italians ,especially Canadian Italians anything bad about The Liberal Party .
@@Jay-vr9ir
Sorry, what do you mean..??
@@Jay-vr9ir I'm Italian and yeah, many italians unfortunately vote for these clowns. But you know what, it's all the elderly. You know what that means? These Liberals prey on them because they know they are vulnerable. Let that sink in. I'm a wop and I will never Liberal or NDP for as long as I live.
Every veteran deserves more than what Omar Kahdr got.
I am seriously embarrassed as a Canadian that I am led by such an absolute failure and contradiction to my values as a Canadian
Canada needs the following 3
1. STRONG ECONOMY
2. STRONG BORDERS
3. LESS TAX
Look at Australia the conservative government was re-elected because it dilvered on those following.
Stefan Uttam Cause The Government keeps spending so the taxes go up and up
Delivered*
Trudeau is a 14 yr old girl with an active tumblr page
Why would u insult a 14 year old girl
F u
You got that rite
@@rasheedalnajjar2997 you up set baby boy
jojoexperience you can shut up
Let's not forget the hundreds of millions he gave to bombardier, just to have them make a deal with boeing to take over the company in 10yrs...
Brock is a real Canadian hero. He stands up to the leader of our country for injustice. Even after loosing his legs he isn't complaining. He works his ass off even after loosing his legs to get a full time job, and because of his hard work he no longer qualifies for compensation meanwhile the government pays off terrorists? Justin says 30-40 million dollars could have been spent on a terrorist if he didn't do a back door deal???? how money would Canada have to pay him if he had lost his legs? yet how much do they pay a Canadian who lost his legs for Canada????
Treadeau must go@@@@@@@
Put the money 💰 in a veterans own pocket. Ask veterans what THEY want....not what YOU want. They are grown men. They don't need children in politics dictating what their money is spent on. The same applies to Canadians in general. Over 50 percent of our money 💰 goes to children in goverment dictating what it will be spent on.
As usual there is no answers, you’ve got more to give to anybody but our veterans.
God, how can Canadians stand this guy??
@asta sorensen fact thats why he keeps importing them
@Vincent Boies cant Vinnie. Born in this country. Did i strike a nerve?
You can feel for him when he says "I was prepared to die in the line of duty, what I was not prepared for was Canada turning its back on me" he could hardly contain his tears, tears that have the power to wash your Government away Mr.Trudeau
AWWW harper made you cry . Well lets be dumb and vote for the conservatives again .
If Trudeau's willing to pay Omar, what about the first nations people? Tons of them are still alive who lived through terrible schooling.
I like how Trudeau says thanks for your service but doesn't mean it. just words without any weight behind them
Lets hope that piere does right by our vets when he takes office
Why is the military guy tortured for what he deserves for his service for the nation? Really sad to hear him talk like this and make no sense. The office who spoke is clearly hurt by what he has to go through. He put his life on the line. Just sad about this pm
The Kdar thing is unforgivabble.
Its sad to see our government and its supporters turn their backs. Even mock and belittle our Canadian veterans.
He's kicking Canadian freedoms in the teeth to this very day!
Allowing Canadians to come back after fighting for the enemy is insane.
They're Just Paper Canadians
Accepting confessions obtained under torture though? Perfectly reasonable.
Still as disgusting as ever. I was once proud of my country.
Thank you Sir for your brave service! U deserve everything! I'm proud of you all!
TURN YOUR BACK on Justin trudeau
Why were the terrorists made citizens in the first place
Ths citizens became terrorists
Liberals, NDP and Greens voted 100% in favour of allowing isis vets into Canada and Trudeau set aside $8Million for their “rehab” while continuing to fight our injured vets in court.
I want to puke when he talks. Take it from his so called trust
There will be no pensions for anyone when Trudeau is done.

Shame shame on this govt will never vote for this Lib. govt.
I as a Canadian would rather of paid for the court cost than giving out a that money it was on all kinds of levels wrong and sometimes it’s just right to take the moral high ground and foot it out in court and not lined his pockets … then get the laws changed for it to never happen again!!! Hard pill to swallow but very necessary in this case! As for that mans pension he was willing to put down his life for us so we as Canadians should give him what he deserves for his sacrifice not to fight it in court which is costing us lots of taxpayers money ! For Justin to say that they aren’t willing to keep up with pension demands and to fight it in court is crazy that man and so many others like him were willing to die for all of us and for that we should be extremely grateful and take care of them no matter what the cost because you can’t put a price on what they have done for us! Justin needs to go and all the like minded government officials they are doing nothing to better our Great country!
MPs overpaid (120k a year) with full pension after two terms (8 years) of sitting behind a desk for the most part. Veterans homeless and struggling and they are asking for too much. JT is loser.
thank u for your service
He allowed 2 Canadians to be beheaded
Wait - when?? I wish I was more up-do-date with current events. Please enlighten me.
I to am a vet (reserve 24 years) and I have no respect for Trudeau or his cabinet of trained seals.
Vote Trudeau out bye bye
But replace him with who? That FAKE conservative Scheer?...who is pretty much Canada's answer to that fake conservative Theresa may?
The only smart choice is the PPC
This guy is a clown
Grant Johnston Johnston Our Prime Minister, not the vet.
The rest of the liberals are a sideshow.
Not once did he mention which veterans he was talking about...
4 years ago- even so sad
JT, clearly, doesn't speak for the average Canadian. I don't hate him. But I honestly believe he's missing it. How Canada can be responsible for the demise of Omar Kahdr being in the wrong place, is well beyond any logical comprehension. No one put him there, but him. That is fact. You can argue all you want about legalities. The simple fact is, Canada, did not put him in the situation he was in. But Canada, paid him. Have a nice day everyone.
Because the charter of rights demands he be given a fair trail here in canada, he was denied that, hence the settlement.
And no he did not put himself there, his father put him there, when he was 8.
He obviously has no clue about how difficult it is to live with a disabling injury.
You can rehab all your life and not be half as capable as you used to be.
that man lost a leg and a good portion of use of the other leg, as someone who recovered from breaking their back i can totally understand where hes coming from.
Even if he rehabs 3-4 days a week he will still be diminished in capability having more services only helps get people back on their feet in a way not able to get back to being productive in the same way.
being able to walk again doesn't mean he can go do labor.
He cant even use his military trained skills in his future jobs because his new life is going to be far different.
And this is where the $$$ comes into play. If a person can only manage limited hours working & limited jobs due to pain or capability because of a injury in the line of duty then how can they maintain a standard of life unless someone helps them.
To give that Omar Khadr $10 million is indeed sick. That was OUR MONEY, not his to give away.
We shouldn't have tortured him
Thanks for your
Service and congratulations for speaking up, glad your ok now…
Thank you for your service
Make truedau a drama teacher again in guantanamo! Let him be with his people.
Disgusting
Please remember this when it comes time vote.

Canadians will remember to send Trudeau gone
trying to approach this election with an open mind but everyone's response here is unilateral and justified
I hope all Canadians remember this
PM you pay more attention to international your own image than to Canadians.
And now 4 years later....the mess that PM made of this country.
My blood was boiling that day
Kahdr is not a Canadian...why are we paying for his mistake...he got caught. He needed to pay for the crime not get paid for it!
7:00 - "30-40 million dollars of payment........and cost". Those cost are paid to Canadian lawyers, paralegals, police, and judges, and is called the legal system we use to make the highest moral decisions (for the most part). Making closed door deals for millions of dollars with a suspected terrorists is bad optics.
stop giving money to a country that your at war with
He constantly brings up this same excuse re: Khadr, about how it could have cost upwards of $30M...this is just not true...the lower courts found that finishing his sentence in Canada was enough compensation, and above that he was allowed to keep his CDN citizenship...the compensation he have Khadr was nothing more than virtue signaling.
Obviously we are being lied to and there is an agenda in play which at some level involves destroying middle class Canadians.
j holmer can you explain your point of vue of how he is destroying middle class haha, sry but lowering taxes to middle class, and small buisness, giving higher childcare benefits etc... are all thing strenghening the middle class and im just naming a few.
he is fcking rich over, but not middle class, you might not agree with the Omar Kadr case, but when you look at the case, there is simply no way the gouvernement could have won that, Kadr was right in every sense of the law. We would have lost much more money
Canadian Warrior doesnt fight terrorists in court because we will lose money but will gladly go against veterans. A bunch of seals clapping on demand...what a stinkin joke
I cant believe I voted for this guy... wont make the same mistake twice
Its only "there" guys on the balot if you vote you will be making the same mistake .
#TrudeauMustgo
I would have much rather seen the $30-40 million dollars spent in the courts than the $10.5 million payout he received.
Use the soldier. Forget the vetran
Justin is an utter disgrace.
Trudeau: What have you done for me today?
He's shaking 😞 poor man
#USAsupportsAlliedVets
8:05 What a liar and a hypocrite! He states that Canada does not allow any Canadian to be tortured yet he has allowed 2 Michaels who are Canadians to be tortured at an undisclosed location in China for I believe over 2 years now. He needs to go.
What would you have Trudeau do, send in the Canadian military???
boooooooooo.....sad stuff....why fight for your country when you're treated like this...what a joke
My left ear is loving this very much.
Coward was to Chicken to fight Kdar in court. Sometimes you need to stand up for Moral rights.
trump: America first
Trudeau: Canada last
Not RealName Canadians last.
So right
Trump= keep jobs in country and make it strong
Castro= let jobs go elsewhere and feed welfare to citizens.and make country weak
He pretents to be a human right fighter, but did he ever bother to address the issues of freedom of religion and discrimination against women in the Muslim community?
He doesn’t want or need your thanks and applause. He needs the money and healthcare he is owed for serving his Queen and Country ..........
This clip really still enrages me. From this day until now. I have so much more respect for this soldier than I do this current PM.
Mr. TRUDO, you have your priority in wrong order. You should be protecting and deffending Canadians. No one should be allowed to enter Canada who does not support and protect our Canadian Constitution and support Canadian way of life, liberty, and justice. No one have ask Canadians if you can make a setlment for this crime to Omar on behalf of all Canadians. You fullisly have offered settlement payment without consolidating Canadians. You misused your position you have been put in by all Canadians by trust and did betrayd as by your actions.
