      “Terrorism is a big concern across a lot of countries,” Khadr says. He says he’s worried about the vulnerability of Syrians embroiled in the country’s conflict — hoping they won’t be seen the way he has been.

      Khadr asked what it feels like to live with restrictions like not being able to go to the US. He says he feels that he can never fail and has to carry himself in a professional way to convince people he’s not had.

      Khadr is asked what he wants Canadians to know about him. He says he’s “willing to talk to anybody who wants to talk.” Let’s do a sit-down then!

      Now questions from the audience submitted through the app. First question is this one. Khadr says he looks at everyone as a human being, and that criticism comes from a place of pain.pic.twitter.com/3ZIJ5tM5EU

      Khadr asked again what kept him going through being at Guantanamo Bay. “Faith,” he says. He says he tended to adapt to whatever group he was in — whether conservative, let loose types, etc.

          I wish this was recorded from the stage view so we could ask each person publicly why they applauded a terrorist. :)

          FFS, that's it??? There wasn't a single item related to his time as a child terrorist. What the hell was the point of an event touted as ending Child Soldiering when it turned out to be a feel good session for Khadr???
