PREMIER FORD STRIKES A BLOW FOR DEMOCRACY
Toronto Sun: “The political left in Canada has been very successful in using the courts to win policy battles that they can’t win in fair and free elections. The list of policies that have been dictated by judge-made law is long: abortion, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, Aboriginal rights, immigration and refugee determination, judicial salaries, Senate-reform, prostitution, collective bargaining. But whatever is next on their policy shopping list could now be in jeopardy.”
To be sure, this isn’t only the result of activist judges misusing the Charter to strike down laws they don’t like.
