Maybe I am wrong though, just sort of floating some thoughts.

It's funny that some people are claiming the payout was a political move when the payout was very impartial and fighting it would have been the political move.
These decisions are pretty simple to arrive at, calculating costs vs winning chances to see if it is worth it. That's why most things settle, the fact that most settle isn't the reason behind settling, the fact that it saves time and money is the good enough reason. The Harper government spent millions of dollars "fighting the good fight" against the courts and lost case after case. How many veterans could have been helped with the 100 million spent on frivolous court battles. I'll take a prudent informed decision over mob decision making any day, even if for the majority they are unpopular.
