I suppose you are referring primarily to the appointment (as recommended by Trudeau) of Chief Justice Laskin (a well known federalist). Fair enough, although it is worth noting that Laskin is generally most famous for his dissents and for his decision in the 1981 Patriation Reference, which was largely a rebuke to Trudeau's proposal to unilaterally patriate the BNA Act without provincial consent.
