Ezra Nails it
If you read no other commentary on the March 25 Warman v. Lemire hearing, read Ezra’s.
He hits many of the real questions which underlie this farce of a proceeding:
Why only one day? Why was Stacey allowed to defy the Tribunal? Why was senior management excused? Why was Warman allowed special access to the Commission’s computers? Why was Warman, after he no longer worked at the Commission, training the employee who was investigating his file.
Ezra’s piece is, essentially, the road map for an application for the judicial review of this legal embarrassment.
It is also a call to arms. The real solution here is political. Emails, letters and phone calls to the CPC members of Parliament and Cabinet. In particular the Minister of Justice. Support for Keith Martin’s motion to kill s. 13.
The Commission’s legal strategy was to run out the clock, I suspect that is the political strategy of the Commission’s political supporters. Which means we need to keep the pressure mounting.

indeed…it’s insulting to think this travesty of ‘justice’ can pass unremarked upon by ANY government..i daresay even the LLLiberals in power would at the very least comment upon this affair…....and yet our CPC remains silent.

Yes, the solution is political. I hope enough people write their MP’s to get this issue onto their to-do list. Certainly Ezra and others have been doing their part.

It amazes me that partisan politics have played such a role in this with few exceptions Liberals and progressives continue to grasp at straws in defending the Kangaroo court.
