Alberta government thread

Absolutely, I wonder if it would also violate the charter is some way?
It’s certainly a violation of section 2; it would be a matter of whether it’s saved by section 1. I suspect not, personally. Clearly the real intent is to prevent a reclaiming of the abandoned “progressive conservative” label. The rest is window dressing.
 
Not paying for new judges while complaining about crime is certainly a choice…

Smith says the collaboration would help ensure the appointments “appropriately reflect Alberta’s distinct legal traditions,” and strengthen public confidence in the administration of justice.

The most cited decisions out of Alberta (which can be a useful metric for any here the influential case law is to be found) tend to focus on administrative sanctions for impaired drivers, oil and gas, and sovereign citizens. Not sure that’s enough of a ‘distinct legal tradition’ to claim any special additional role in the appointment of superior court judges.
