He lost that status after he was convicted of a string of crimes, including break and enter, theft and drug trafficking.
Apparently in Canada past history that has zero bearing on the awarding of compensation. Omar Khadar got 10 million dollars despite the fact he participated in a terrorist organization and killed an American medic. And the reason was because, the SCoC ruled his "Charter Rights" had been violated because we didn't ensure and even participated in his torture (lack of sleep is apparently torture) in Gitmo.
So given this guy is claiming charter violations there's a very good chance he'll get at least some of the money despite the fact he's a scum sucking theif and drug dealer because sadly a precedent was set with the Khadr case.
