OTTAWA, July 26 (LSN) - Neil Seeman of the National Post has produced a brilliant expose on the rampant-left-leaning judicial activism that characterizes the Supreme Court of Canada. According to its critics the court is ruling Canada by overriding Parliament. Seeman interview’s Gwen Landolt of Real Women who notes that mandatory courses to be taken by Supreme Court Justices are “rife with feminist propaganda,” some even include materials composed by radical feminists who founded an activist group. The article reveals the Court’s abrogation of Parliament following the power given it by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms noting that “during the 22 years under the 1960 Bill of Rights, just one statute was declared invalid by the Supreme Court; in the first decade under the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Supreme Court voided 41 statutes.” William Gairdner, of War on the Family fame, tells the Post that the Justices don’t represent the views of society as a whole but “they mirror the values of one very small but incredibly powerful segment of Canadian society—the liberal educated elite.” Those left-leaning tendencies are strengthened by the law clerks of the Justices who are mostly women who have made the Dean’s List in law school, an honour which Professor Ian Hunter notes “is awarded predominantly to people with a particular ideological view.” The heavy lobbying of powerful leftist special interest groups and the decidedly power hungry Court could be tamed with strategies such as working for the appointment of Conservative Justices, having justices elected rather than appointed, and scrapping the Charter.
