On February 23, 2024 the Toronto Star reported that Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced his intention to appoint "like minded judges" to Ontario's Provincial Courts. His statement (widely reported by the media) was controversial. At a minimum it suggested an intention to politicize the judicial process - eroding the independence of the judicial system.
Jeff Gray writing for the Globe and Mail in February 23, 2024:
"Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has the right to choose “like-minded” conservative judges and defended his installation of two former senior political aides on the government’s judicial appointments committee – the latest in a series of moves critics say is politicizing the province’s courts.
Lawyers groups and opposition politicians raised alarms about the Premier’s comments on Friday, saying they amount to a rejection of judicial independence, undermine public confidence in the courts and set a course toward a U.S.-style partisan justice system.
Mr. Ford was unrepentant when asked about a Toronto Star story that his government had put two of his former senior political aides on the province’s Judicial Appointments Advisory Committee, which vets and shortlists candidates for Attorney-General Doug Downey to name to the Ontario Court of Justice."
