"Doug Ford guilty of hypocrisy for biased judges rant. Ontario's system is far from perfect but it's been praised as the “gold standard” for judicial appointments in Canada. Ford's government has been chipping away at it in the name of getting more “like­minded” judges and justices of the peace appointed. If anyone is guilty of trying to impose ideology and partisanship on the courts, it's the premier himself" #dougford #law #justice #ontario #canada thestar.com/opinion/star-colum
