Liberal hack judges are a problem all right.

Sure. Well, at least if we entirely ignore the fact that this is nonsense.

The Honourable Madame Chief Justice Nicole Duval Hesler, Chief Justice of Québec, was appointed on the advice of The Right Honourable Stephen Harper P.C., M.P. (Calgary Southwest), the Prime Minister. When you include the other nineteen permanent members of the Québec Court of Appeal, the bench’s composition is as follows:


  • three judges appointed by The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien P.C., C.C., O.M., Q.C., 20th Prime Minister;
  • four judges appointed by The Right Honourable Paul Martin P.C., C.C., 21st Prime Minister;
  • thirteen judges appointed by Mr. Harper under the Conservative Party.

Once the Conservatives appoint 13 out of 20 judges on Québec’s top court, they don’t get to complain about “liberal hack judges” anymore, because it’s a fabrication of reality, and a shameless cop-out (that is, blaming the courts, instead of spending more time drafting sound and constitutional public policy).

Don't confuse Tax with the facts.
