Ask an Opposition Leader

Iggy comes out loud and clear... "Welcome back Khadr"...
Our party’s position is long-standing and clear: the government must ensure Mr. Khadr’s rights as a Canadian citizen. I am calling on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to work with the Obama Administration to facilitate Mr. Khadr’s return to Canada on an urgent basis.

RELATED: That's strange, I don't hear any crying...

...for 107 dead Canadian soldiers...
Many audience members could be seen crying as Mr. Edney described some of his Guantanamo Bay experiences. In one instance, he explained to the crowd how some prisoners at the Naval base tried to kill themselves, even as their hands and feet were shackled.

“You commit suicide by chewing on your wrists.”
Except, of course... that Omar didn't.

Anybody got the actual number of deaths by suicide at Gitmo? I "googled" it a bunch of different ways and came up with nothing.
