So a group of 19 prominent Canadian idiots wrote an open letter urging Trudeau to release Meng Wanzhou:

What a cosmically stupid idea that is.
Thankfully Trudeau dismissed the idea. While I don't think the PM is exactly the brightest guy, I'm very much relieved that he's smarter than the 19 prominent Canadian morons who wrote that letter.
When I heard about the letter I thought it would be a bunch of clueless beatniks behind it. But no, when you look at the list of names on the list, you see well known politicians, ambassadors, a Supreme Court justice, and so on. Louise Arbour, Allan Rock, Ed Broadbent, Lloyd Axworthy, and several others you'll probably recognize.

What is the provenance of this letter? We know who signed it but who wrote it, put this group together and why?
