In this case, without reading the whole decision, I'm inclined to agree with the logic of the majority.
There are two requirements to be appointed to the Supreme Court if you are from Québec: (1) be a justice of one of Québec's superior courts; (2) a lawyer in good standing for 10+ years.
Harper's appointee is neither of these as he is a judge of a federal court.
IF our Supreme Court played politics then the Bedford decision would had the complete opposite outcome.
