Former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr provided a small window of insight about his life since his return to Canada in 2013 during a rare public speaking appearance in Halifax. Khadr, who was part of a panel discussion on child soldiers hosted by the Romeo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative, told an audience at Dalhousie University that he always has to behave a certain way in public because of his past. I can't be emotional because I'm worried if I'm emotional people are going to think he's manipulative, and that's so burdensome." Roméo Dallaire arrives at the venue where Omar Khadr, the former child soldier, spoke in Halifax on Monday. Whitman made a point of telling the Halifax audience that no one on the stage was receiving a speaking fee.
