So, Queen Dani Doesn't Like Courts?

In a year-end interview, Premier Smith of Alberta complained that "judges aren't accountable", and elected politicians are.  

Like everything else that comes out of today's conservative politicians, this is 1 part truth, 9 parts lie.  Accountability takes many forms, and to frame elections as the only legitimate kind of accountability in our system of government is simply false.  It's convenient for her in the moment, but when she then turns around and complains that "people are abusing recall", one does have to wonder exactly how sincere she really is.  

Smith complains that "we've had 10 years of Justin Trudeau appointing judges", and that "...ideology getting into these judgements ...".  What she's really doing is misrepresenting the process through which judges are appointed in this country, as well as the nature of how judgments are written - judges actually explain their reasoning in their rulings, something that politicians seldom bother with.
