The Trudeau Liberals corruptly disregard the impartiality of Judicial appointments in Canada and show contempt for Canadians

On July 2nd, 2019, it was reported that friendships and cronyism have tainted the federal Liberal appointment of  five of six judicial appointments during the last year because of connections to Dominic  LeBlanc, MP and Liberal Cabinet Minister. The appointments included a neighbour, a relative and three lawyers who helped retire debt from LeBlanc’s unsuccessful 2008 leadership campaign.

As usual, no reasons were revealed to justify the appointments.

Whether or not federal appointees to Canadian courts are qualified, the process of appointment is the same as it has always been where the Liberals are involved:  based on cronyism and ideology. In Canada, the effective rule is - "Corruption - Thy name is Liberal".

The stink from this kind of corruption taints the judges as well as coats the entire court system with the slime of corruption, whether or not the judges are honourable and competent persons.

In the past, some of the appointees who were so chosen turned out to actually be honourable and competent judges.  But, in these days of so-called "progressive-liberalism" and political correctness, and of judicial activism, revealing ideological prejudices of the judges in their decisions, it is more important than ever that the appointment process be transparent.

Canadian judicial appointments should go through a public non-partisan vetting process that at least has a chance of weeding out candidates who are cronies or are activists with an agenda.  Given the lying nature of most politicians, particularly those in power, Lametti's Press Secretary's words in the story truly ring hollow.

The Russian dictator, Putin, is laughing in his vodka at Canada and the U.S. for their continued drifts away from democracy.
