The council’s executive director, Norman Sabourin, filed a complaint against Justice Smith, citing an online story from earlier in May that said Indigenous leaders had asked Lakehead to appoint an Indigenous successor to Ms. EagleWoman. There were no complaints from the public against Justice Smith. So strict was the position of the judicial council – that judges should use their “productive” time only to be judges – that Beverley McLachlin could have been disciplined for writing a mystery novel while she was still chief justice of the Supreme Court, wrote Justice Zinn.
Johanna Laporte, a spokeswoman for the council, said it needs time to review the ruling before commenting. A spokeswoman for Chief Justice Richard Wagner, who chairs the judicial council, gave the same reply. He said the council had so badly misinterpreted the federal Judges Act that he wondered whether it had engaged in “reverse engineering” to achieve the result it wanted in Justice Smith’s case.
The CJC acted with extreme unfairness claiming that judges have absolute discretion and can disregard the transcript. They are claiming that they are above the law and not subject to the Charter requirements to dispense fundamental justice or fair and impartial justice.
Canadian judges rule that Canadian judges were unfair to a Canadian judge.... we sure got our money's worth there
