Justizminister Fraser weist Smiths Forderung nach mehr Mitsprache bei der Ernennung von Richtern zurück

UCPs plan:

Step 1: Remove constitutional requirements of preserving judiciary independence

Step 2: Appointment regime-friendly judges

Step 3: Do a bunch of illegal crap and get favorable decisions in the courts.

Blame federal liberals for lack of punishment for crime is just a little benefit for them….

Good on Fraser. We don’t want political judges.

Our judges are mentally I’ll people who believe in the living tree

So what’s the key to falling up? 
Look good, around 6 ft tall, good public speaking. Anything else I’m missing?

Whilst I can see why some people react negatively to this, there is actually a serious problem of the federal government essentially using the judiciary and their ability to control who is appointed to it as a means of encroaching on provincial jurisdiction and eroding their constitutional authority.

The McDonald Laurier Institute [recently released this study](https://macdonaldlaurier.ca/judging-the-provinces-charter-interpretation-and-the-erosion-of-provincial-autonomy-dave-snow-and-mark-harding/) which explains what’s been happening. It’s worth a read.

Smith has a point on this. Is her solution the right one? No idea. But anyone concerned about the division of powers in this country should agree the path we’ve been going down is creating problems and the status quo is no longer tenable.

Why in the living hell are we still having to deal with Fraser after he completely fucked our immigration and housing?

If Carney has a “new liberal government” and we give a honest look and give Carney a chance.
But then you see he still has this incompetent minister that only fails upward, how does this help unite Canadians or put any faith that Carney will be any better than Trudeau?

It’s absolutely crazy that we have to see Fraser in the House of Commons.

What else is the historically most inept minister for every portfolio he’s ever held going to say
