Yesterday a cousin of Robert Hall sent an email writing she had to cut short her shopping and go home and cry because of the disparity between how Justin Trudeau stood by Omar Khadr, while completely ignoring the families of Robert Hall and John Ridsdel. Both Canadian men were kidnapped, tortured and beheaded by the ISIS-affiliated Philippine terror group Abu Sayyaf one year ago.
