"Local people".... so what? A judge should have to be flown in for every case? That's silly and nonsensical.
It does make sense when no local judge is qualified to rule on Constitutional Aboriginal rights that are the heart of the matter.
They have a history of being lawyers... you said they didn't have any history of law.
Not all, and not required.
They are appointed by the Province. You said they were appointed locally.
I said they are local people.
I also quoted that they are officially appointed by the Province.
And then you made stunningly ignorant remarks about a judge not having a law degree.
I stand by that, not required in regard to the low courts.
I also note that Judge Marshall inexplicably refused to recuse himself, despite having a personal conflict of interest in the Haldimand tract. Would a REAL judge do that? He ruled on behalf of local business interests, including his own.
Not really the low court's fault.
The process is wrong.
Local matters that infringe on Aboriginal rights should simply be heard by a higher court with competence in dealing with Constitutional and Treaty law.
