We are not discussing the merits of continuing with civil action (as I've said multiple times I agree with the decision to settle), we are discussing your willful misrepresentation of what Rempel said in the interview to paint her as being ill-informed on the case. From what I've seen, she is well aware of the particulars of the proceedings and simply has the preference that the court award damages rather than the government settling. It's not the fiscally responsible choice, but from a moral standpoint a lot of Canadians would have preferred this option, and that's an entirely reasonable position.

What in the heck are you talking about? I haven't questioned anything.
