Why do Cons have to hide their mandate taking it all the way to the top court? What is it that they’re keeping from public eyes?
Could be nothing we don’t already know, just things they don’t want to bring up again
Like Ford saying we don’t need to do anything about systemic racism because it exists everywhere
Or his nephew (minister of multiculturalism) saying blacks need to learn to be Canadian
Asshole gets handed a “get out of jail free” card yet again.
Jayzuz. :(
Honestly, if Ontario voters weren’t braindead morons, this court case would be irrelevant. Just the fact that he fought so hard to keep the letters secret should have killed him at the ballot box.
“The Letters are revealing of the substance of Cabinet deliberations, both on their face and when compared against what government actually does,” wrote Justice Andromache Karakatsanis in the majority decision
Umm hey isn’t the point to know this? Like I’d prefer to know what the substance of cabinet deliberations than not.
Government should be transparent, not 30 cheeseburgers thick opaque.
Then FIPPA has to be changed. Right now the act allows for cabinet deliberations to be kept confidential:
Maybe that makes sense. Maybe it doesn’t. But that’s the law as written today and the court decided that these letters fall under that carve-out.
