So, who thinks PM Trudeau came up with $10.5M settlement figure all by himself? This is a PM whose leadership style is to consult, to listen, to find common ground and to do the right thing. Was this a Ministry decision? Cabinet decision? Were legal experts consulted? Maybe the government needs to discuss what process was used to come up with the sum.

Meanwhile, it cost every citizen 34 cents... big deal. You could probably pick up more than that in loose change at your local park if you're all upset about the sum it is costing you personally. Something had to be offered based on the SCC decision. I'm glad this government respects the authority of the SCC. 

Predictably, politicians are latching onto this to activate their grass roots without considering all the facts.
