Thank you Premier Doug Ford for being so dumb. That at least is both Donald Trump's and Doug Ford's saving grace : they are dumb! Our esteemed premier has been saying nasty things about Ontario judges recently such as : his tirade about unelected judges who "overturn everything right down to the bike lanes." Judicial independence he went on is "a joke" because judges are appointed by governments. Plus criminals go free because "there's a lot of terrible, terrible bleeding heart judges out there." He also said : "We should do what the U.S. does. Let's start electing our judges, holding them accountable."
The problem with Mr. Ford's opinions are that he is such a hypocrite about the judiciary. The system used to be about stuffing the judiciary with party loyalists a system which has since been discredited. Ontario has a Judicial Appointments Advisory Committee to lean the selection process closer towards legal expertise, not partisan connections coming first in determining who becomes a judge. Mr. Ford however stated "We got elected to get like-minded people in appointments,?. Further Ford said "I'm not going to appoint some NDP or some Liberal." Wow how do Ontario electors elects such complete idiots who don't even know how much they don't know.
