Golly Mr. Lamer, how in tarnation do we stoopids pick Prime Ministers? In fact, how do we pay our taxes without the scholarly aid of edumacated folk like you? How do we raise r famlees?
…and members of the public simply don’t know enough about the job of judging to competently select candidates, Lamer said.
“Mrs. Smith who is on the board doesn’t know what the court is about. What she knows she probably got off American TV and thinks that judges use hammers.”
Us canooks is so dang stoopid!
According to an old article I dug up in The Alberta Report, Chief Justice Lamer granted an audience to the Ottawa Citizen in 1998 to declare:
“Thank God for the charter.” He admitted that the charter has given the court an enormous power, but then shrugged, “That’s [parliament’s] doing, not ours. [It] might be, well, that the elected [representatives] really didn’t know what they were doing.”
This is why we should be guarded about just whom, exactly, we hold in high esteem. And this is why we shouldn’t vote for liberals who appoint liberals to high places.
