The thing that blows my mind is a lot of "conservatives" on message boards and social media blaming Trudeau for "paying a terrorist." They don't even realize that Trudeau has literally ZERO control over the decision. This was the Supreme Court's ruling and the majority of justices on the bench there were appointed by Stephen Harper.
Well, they all hate Trudeau so no surprise he can do no good in their eyes. But in their defense, the settlement amount would have been negotiated by his government.
