So, this seems to give lie to the perception that the Tories were stacking the committees, looks like an Osgoode Hall journal will be telling it like it is.

Remember last winter's phony scandal over appointments the Conservative government had made to Canada's judicial advisory committees? It was one of the Liberals' most disingenuous moments, which is saying something, since the Liberals have many.

(The latest example was last week's comments by Liberal Foreign Affairs critic Ujjal Dosanjh, who castigated the Conservatives for sending our troops in Afghanistan to the war front in Kandahar without helicopters. Of course, it was Mr. Dosanjh's party who retasked our troops to Kandahar from comparatively peaceful Kabul, and his party that cancelled the purchase of new helicopters with such sanctimonious flourish back in the 1990s.)

(Neither the chief justice nor the CBA had ever uttered a word about the Liberals' politicization of the bench.)

But for those still convinced that the Tories were and are attempting to bias an otherwise inscrutable judiciary, a soon-to-be-released study in the Osgoode Hall Law Journal should disabuse you of that myth.

Although the full paper will not be out until next month, the authors -- Osgoode law professor James Stribopoulos and University of Alberta law professor Moin Yahya -- have already released a precis of their findings.

Is anyone surprised? Every party in power attempts to stack the deck in their favour. Get this through your heads, the Liberals and Conservatives are now nearly identical. The only parties that offer true alternatives (good and bad) are the NDP (commies in disguise), my party & the Greens. Of course, there are other smaller parties (such as mine) but they have no chance because they limit themselves to a few big issues and have no longterm goals for the country.
