Both definitely played a role, I just can't believe how anyone is blaming Trudeau. This is basically as close to the definition of a political #### sandwich as you can get. The actions already happened, all he was left with was a lawsuit. A lawsuit which Khadr was most likely going to win, Trudeau had 2 choices, don't pay him and get blamed for not negotiating a deal, wasting tax payer money and holding up the court system or negotiate a deal, saving some tax payer money while not unnecessarily wasting the justice system's resources and then get blamed for not taking him to court in hopes the judge would rule in the defendant's favour. It's almost as if people think the prime minister can overrule the Supreme Court of Canada.
