He also gave a convicted terrorists over 10 million dollars..

The SCC ruling that said Khadr was entitled to a payout for the violations of his rights happened under Harper, and Harper spent $120 million trying to fight paying Khadr $20 million. Trudeau just stopped fighting it and settled for a lesser amount rather than dragging it out even longer. Exclusively blaming him for that $10.5 million is extremely short-sighted, and represents a gross misunderstanding of the actual situation.

Furthermore, the idea that a conviction makes flagrant human rights violations okay is completely absurd, especially when that conviction was based on a confession obtained through torture. Canadians don't let their citizens be tortured, regardless of the circumstances. You really don't want a government that thinks otherwise.

why does reintegration need to include giving them free money? in america we don't give money to reformed criminals.

And how's the recidivism rate in America looking? Attempting to reintegrate reformed criminals (especially ones that have spent a significant amount of time in a radicalized environment) without working to support them through that process is just setting them up for failure. There are limits to how much support is reasonable, certainly, but reintegrating is hard, and it's in everyone's best interests to help the process along a bit rather than paying to jail them indefinitely.
