You clearly didn't watch the entire interview, or you've let your partisanship blind you to what was actually said. Nothing she says is factually incorrect. When she says the courts hadn't ruled on it, that is entirely true - the entire purpose of a settlement is to avoid a ruling! Perhaps you are confusing the 2010 SCC decision with the civil case. Although one hinges on the other, they are two distinct proceedings.

Let's go through your post again:

and not because his rights were violated - again, the rights violation ruling was mentioned explicitly
Yes, Michelle, there was a court ruling on this - there was a SCC ruling in 2010 regarding the complicity of CSIS in his treatment at Guantanamo, but there was no ruling on the topic of discussion: the civil litigation case

Yes, their online content is worthless garbage for the most part (I would except their radio news and television news coverage from this statement as it is still generally quite good). All of the articles are short form with no depth and limited context, with a few tweets from random plebs thrown in for good measure.

Lets look at the article you linked - it's 300 words long, only contains two sentences about the interview that is ostensibly the topic of the article, glosses over the background of Khadr's situation in 4 sentences, and includes a banal analysis by a guest expert. On top of this, it's peppered with 4 tweets with no explanation of why these tweeters deserve to have a platform in this sad attempt at an informational article.

CBC has adopted this click-bait article strategy with bite-size articles designed for easy consumption by the average idiot. It's not legitimate news; I feel sorry for people who read the website based on the reputation of CBC news and think they are being enlightened in any way.
