The Martin & Harper governments let a Canadian child be tortured by the US. There's no excuse for that. There is no excuse for it when The Canadian government was doing it to the Native people either.

The Harper government did not let a Canadian child be tortured by the US.  The Harper government let a war prisoner who fought against Canada's allies whill still having a a Canadian passport sit in his jail cell in the US by refusing to allow him back to the country.  The presumed torture happenned before Harper was first elected.

Do you think Canada should have pleaded with Russia for them to return Canadian Waffen SS prisoners immediatly after WWII?

Were any of the Canadian Waffen SS prisoners kids?

he wasn't a kid, he was 15.  If he didn't understood at 15 that it was wrong to kill people, he will never understand.  And so far, he has not shown he understands it either.

This is the basis of the disagreement. 15 years old are not adults & should not be treated as such.

But she looked 16.

I CHECKED HER ID

We even exchanged DNA samples.

A private company in the same situation would settle, 100 times out of 100.

If that were the case, there would never be trials.

The vast majority of cases never get to trial. Most settle. Particularly where the facts are one-sided, it makes sense (plus in Canada, depending on province, our costs rules seriously encourage it).

I don't know all the facts, but that this is a case that ought to have been settled seems pretty credible to me.

If so, fighting a hopeless battle would be a purely political move, and a waste of (your tax) cash.

A private company in the same situation would settle, 100 times out of 100.  Why should the state waste money time and resources on doomed trial just to make a pointless show of a fight?

Because a lot of voters feel as Viper feels. They would feel better about a government that fights a (legally pointless) fight, than one that settles.

Knowing this, the government attempted to bury the story; and that very attempt made it a bigger story.

I'm comfortable with that.

It's in the EULA.  Most babies don't even read it before they are born, they just click yes.
