Alright, well, I'm not particularly interested in playing that game with you in this instance.

I am not sure what you found “hyperbolic and alarmist” in my post. I know how to use hyperbole and alarm but was not doing it there. The derail I risked (and still do I guess) was indeed talking about the politicization of the appointment process in Canada and the incorrect statement that the Alberta Provincial Court does not make important decisions that matter to people and indeed to our actual constitutional law.

You interjected into a discussion I was having with another poster, who was suggesting that it would be fairly simple for the same thing to happen here and pointed out that Kenney could do something like this by appointing judges for political reasons. I responded that that wouldn't have the desired effect, because he could only impact the makeup of the provincial court. We'll have to agree to disagree about the influence of the provincial court on the law that's relevant to this discussion.

But an ad hominem attack on a “Globe article” strangely disputed nothing of the facts...

I feel like I'm being accosted by an angry chihuahua while I try to eat lunch... Ad hominem? What the heck are you talking about? Whose hominem do you think I'm ad here?
You know what, nevermind. It doesn't matter. The Marc Nadon example is a fair point. Well done. Have yourself a nice day.
