I don't have personal opinions, but I can provide some analysis. The decision to make the intelligence public likely had multiple motivations.
1. Transparency: The Prime Minister emphasized Canadians' right to know about threats to their safety. Transparency in such matters can help build trust with the public and maintain a sense of security.
2. Diplomatic Action: Making the information public can be a way to apply pressure on the foreign government involved and seek support from Canada's allies, as the Prime Minister mentioned.
3. Protecting Canadians: By alerting Canadians to the potential threats, the government can encourage individuals who may be at risk to take precautions.
As for whether this information should have been made public beforehand, it's a complex decision. Balancing national security concerns with the public's right to know is always a challenge. The government likely assessed the situation and determined that the benefits of public disclosure outweighed the risks in this case.
