In perfect lock-step, the Conservative government in Ottawa has shown us once again just how much they will do to placate their "base" of support. Most of the most objectionable actions they have taken have been extra-legislative - where they only really have to face the firestorm after doing the damage. Today, we find out that party connections have been the criteria for someone to sit on the advisory committees that review judicial candidate's qualifications.
Per se, this doesn't exactly come as a huge shock to me. The CPoC has demonstrated repeatedly that they are even more rigidly partisan and exclusionary than any previous governing party that I can remember.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
