Is there any position of relevance in Ottawa that this self entitled twit hasn't interfered with?

But on the plus side, he's at least consistent in trying to remake Canada into his image by subverting every level of gov't that doesn't live up to his personal expectations of what the position should entail.

A question though. Why has it taken so long for all these so called "honourable" people to come forward to expose this charlatan for what he really is, a manipulative social justice warrior who's more intent on placating outside forces than taking care of the Canadians who he's responsible for?

How did he interfere? He's the one that gets to pick.

It's remarkable though in that a PM probably doesn't usually reject a candidate suggested by their own SG/MOJ. It shows how deep the rupture was between Trudeau and JWR for him to reject her suggestion out of hand, basically exactly like our very own Soviet Canuckistan version of the repellent war between shithead Trump and Jeff Sessions. Weird how JWR turned out to be just like Sessions, not all that good at her job and an ideologue as well but still ended up on the bad side of The Boss for not letting her own fiefdom become a lapdog for the sleaze bags at head office to get away with whatever chicanery they had cooked up.

So the question then is, did Groper appoint her as a big ol' virtue signal so he could "brag" about having the first female AND FN AG in Canada's history, or was she genuinely genuinely qualified for the position? The thing is, no matter the answer, Groper still comes out looking like the big fucking idiot that he is.

No dispute with that. And it's ironically hilarious that the self-proclaimed "most feminist PM ever" might get taken down from managing to piss off enough of the women in his caucus due to his bullying and unethical behaviour. Says something about Liberal men that almost all of them are sitting there going "this is fine!" while it's the Liberal women who've drawn a line in the sand with what they will and will not accept from him.

I haven’t read that it’s unusual. It is extremely unusual that the AG would recommend the new SC appointee also be made the Chief Justice. As I mentioned earlier today, only once, in 1908, has that ever happened. Every other time the Chief Justice has been chosen from experienced SC members

And there is the truly fundamental flaw with all the gender diversity hiring
programs.

It actually hurts women.

Because you will never know if the woman was actually the best qualified person
for the position, or if she was hired on the v-card.

The government/company may not be getting the best people for the jobs.
A loss of respect for the woman in the position.
And all women will pay the price for it.

Cabinet appointments are not really qualification-based The candidates are only drawn from the pool of sitting MPs not from a pool of qualified job applicants.

On top of that, the appointments usually reflect rewarding certain factions within the party for supporting the party leader

Funny how the same people who scream about “gender quotas” have no concerns about demanding a quota for appointees from their home province, as in “Albertans are 15% of the population but only 7% of the cabinet! Ahhhhh!!!”

Cabinet appointments are not really qualification-based

Nor are Liberal Prime Ministers.

In fact, the more stupid, the better.

I think the idiot standard applies to all political candidates.
