1772...Wow, Harper Can Stack The Supreme Court

According to the front page of the Citizen today, Ottawa's paper of record, if the PM can get another four years in he could stack the Supreme Court. Seven jobs will be up for grabs when seven of the nine retire in the near future.

Of course if Michael, Jack or Elizabeth become Prime Minister they will have the same opportunity.

This is an amazing/scary opportunity for whomever to stack the court with people of his/her ideological pedigree, shaping the country's future for the next half century.

  3. Some of us would say he has a chance to "unstack the supreme court" As coservative people have been under represented for about a century, This lack of balance leads to some of the bitterness against the Liberals.
