Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner has responded to revelations surrounding the Premier’s questionable judicial appointment practices, which are now facing a court challenge from Democracy Watch. The scandal has intensified with the disclosure that a newly appointed judge is lobbying for a gun manufacturer, raising concerns about the politicization of the judiciary. Schreiner emphasizes the need for a merit-based system for appointing judges to restore public trust and ensure that the law is upheld independently, rather than serving political interests.
