The reason, I suspect, that the settlement was rushed was that Trudeau did not want to deal with all the petitions that would be flooding his office. The rushed settlement rendered all petitions mute. Also, Canadians should ask themselves why is there a confidentiality agreement in place. What is Trudeau hiding? Claiming that they had to settle because of the Supreme Court ruling, wrong, I would have used the Not Withstanding Clause. This was an extraordinary case calling for an extraordinary response. The Americans did what they did because innocent lives were at stake.
