It turns out that not all Canadians agree with the payment to the terrorist who killed US soldier Christopher Speer. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.ca\/2017\/07\/15\/canadians-donating-to-family-of-slain-u-s-soldier-after-khadr-se_a_23031454\/\">Huffington Post<\/a>, a radio host has attracted donors who are giving money to the soldier&#8217;s widow, Tabitha Speer and her two children Taryn and Tanner. More than two thousand donors have contributed $134,000;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ottawa-based talk-radio host Brian Lilley, co-founder of right-wing Rebel Media, who started the fundraising campaign, said he shared the anger of many Canadians over the settlement and wanted to channel the outrage into something positive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s trying to show generosity out of a political situation,&#8221; Lilley said.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The current campaign aims to raise $1 million over a month. Donors who give at least $2,500 will have their names engraved on a &#8220;solidarity&#8221; plaque that will be sent to Speer but most donated amounts range from $10 to $100. Lilley could not say how many donors were from the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We discussed Prom Minister Trudy Trudeau&#8217;s US$8 million gift to Gitmo grad Omar Khadr last week. &hellip; <a title=\"Canadians donate to widow\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73440\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Canadians donate to widow<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[170],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-who-knows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73440\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
