    For over a decade, Tinney Davidson waved out the window of her Comox home to students on their way to school. Now she's moving away, so the students gave her a proper send-off. More:

    The view from here. Have a nice weekend, everyone.

    Sometimes, after I post something political, I scroll through the replies. It usually takes about ten minutes for strangers to start screaming at each other. This will never not seem stupid and pointless to me. Please be good to one another, folks. Tweeting angry isn’t worth it.

    E-mail just received from a colleague: “Long live Dworkin!” Appellate lawyering is fun.

    8. So, even if some of the judges whom the Liberals have appointed were former Liberal riding association presidents, campaign volunteers, Cabinet ministers, whatever — and, again, that isn’t what‘s reported — there’d be nothing wrong with that, in practice or in principle.

    7. Supporting a political party, financially or otherwise, should never be disqualifying in the judicial appointments process. Nor should it be mandatory, of course. But when we start punishing people for political engagement, we can only impoverish our politics. That’s bad.

    6. The Globe story also states that nearly 70 percent percent of the current government’s judicial appointees have never donated to *any* political party. If there’s problem with that approach, it’s the apparent exclusion of good candidates who have been politically involved.

    5. The government also doesn’t need the governing party’s database to know who donates to whom. Elections Canada publishes that information. If the Liberals were using vetting to skew the process politically, we’d be hearing about party volunteers’ being appointed, not donors.

    4. According to the Globe, “about 25 per cent of the 289 judges appointed or promoted ... since 2016 had donated to the Liberal Party”. That number seems very low. It suggests that the government is using the Liberal database to avoid appointing partisans, not to seek them out.

    3. It’s neither inappropriate nor a surprise that the government queries every database available to it — including Liberalist or, under the previous government, CIMS — in vetting judicial candidates. It wouldn’t be “vetting” otherwise. These jobs are for life. Vetting is good.

    Some quick thoughts on this: 1. The consensus among lawyers is that the quality of this government’s judicial appointments has been exceptionally high. 2. Stories like this needlessly and baselessly erode public confidence in the judiciary. That’s bad.

    It is a privilege to be part of a self-regulated profession. There is no excuse not to vote. Log in to the LSO site, review all candidate profiles, and then vote for :)

    From our ⁦ team, here’s a quick update on the proposed (U.S.) Algorithmic Accountability Act — and what it could mean for Canada. Watch this space!

    The Senate should defeat this bill. Judicial education must always be for judges, not politicians, to prescribe.

    This is a point worth making. Progressives too often undermine progress by allowing the perfect to become the enemy of the good. Self-righteousness is a hell of a drug, but the hangover isn’t worth it.
