Others on this forum have pointed out other organizations that the HT could model themselves after which are not "all or nothing" minded and are more than happy to work with folks and even help put some money in to the game where possible. If the HT was more like that; then I could see them having more support.
They are the creators of their own misfortune and while I doubt the slap lawsuit will go anywhere - the fact they will all have to pay out the legal costs while it moves forward is penalty enough. Having been a part of when when I worked for the Municipality in Fort Mac (and their legal team represented me) I can say I'm quite happy I didn't have to pay.
