Much as I dislike Boeing, the information available seems to indicate that they have a valid complaint which, under our International Agreements, must go through the agreed upon adjudication process.  To see us trying to brow-beat them from bringing it to "trial" is embarassing and strongly indicates we are trying to hide the truth from Canadians.  Canada, rightly or wrongly, had generally been seen as an honest broker, firmly entrenched in the concept of right and wrong.  This bit of "extortion"  has all the optics of  a criminal threating his victim not to press charges and preventing it from going to trial.   Sorry, this embarasses me and causes me to question the 27 years I had put my life on the line for what (I thought) this country is all about.
