Who Runs Our Government? Elected Politicians Or Appointed Judges?

from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Justin O'Donnell, paralegal at Invictus Legal LLP, to break down the recent court ruling that prohibits the Ontario Government from removing bike lanes on major Toronto streets. Ontario Premier Doug Ford decided to remove them, but a Trudeau-appointed Judge said ‘Not so fast!’! The balance (or imbalance) between judicial oversight and legislative authority is examined, exploring whether unelected courts are seizing too much power in a democratic society. A clear, concise discussion on law, governance, and the intersection of public policy and the courts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
