Trudeau and his government played a trick on the Canadian people.  There was no debate of the amount of the settlement.  There was no opportunity for the victims of Khadr to appeal this decision.  There was no detailed explanation by the Liberal government as to how they reached this decision.  All decisions were made in secrecy.  There was a timetable of basically hours to impose this decision which started that a settlement was forthcoming, followed by the amount, and then immediately paying the settlement out.  All the talk of transparency becoming utter nonsense, hypocrisy, and the definition of cynicism, in the matter of hours.  Their integrity in tatters.  A political decision to absorb the fallout now to lessen the blow later.  The wrong message to send to murderous extremism.  One of the defining moments of appeasement in our history.   This government has labeled our country as weak, indifferent to evil, and aloof.  A government without conscience.

  A schism has taken place.
