"Folks I appointed them for the exact reason you are mad at me for. So stop being mad at me. I did it on purpose not by mistake!"
Rofl what a defence.
But I can buy buck a beer. /S
It's not like the Ontario superior court hasn't done so anyway. Their rulings have come 100% for Ford, allowing him to avoid testifying, denying FOIA requests on his daily agenda and allowing him freedom to do what he wants.
He wants like minded judges to keep his ass out of jail.
I love how he says he did it because current justices let criminals walk. Yeah, absolutely. They even let drug dealing corrupt criminals become Premier of the province.
You going to appoint enough staff to courts to ensure that people don't walk?
Oh, wait, that'll cost money. So you won't do it. You'll just bitch and moan about "activist judges" because a functioning legal system only benefits the poor.
