Here's Brian Peckford, who conservatives like trot out as an "architect" of the Charter, siding with a convicted criminal rather than the rule of law. It's a tell.
@maxfawcett I'm sorry if I appear somewhat dense this morning but where does Brian Peckford come into this? This says it's part of a statement from Huigenbos but Peckford's contribution, if any, is not clearly delineated. I never had any use for him but gratuitous bashing seems unwarranted.
@maxfawcett Judges aren't the "rule of law"... judges get overturned in appeal quite often for misinterpreting the laws.
They only got convicted for mischief, with all those guns. “The charges follow an early morning raid on Monday where RCMP found a cache of 13 long guns, handguns, body armour, large amounts of ammunition and high-capacity magazines in three trailers.” Amazing job by the lawyers.
@maxfawcett In modern day (extremist) Conservatism, criminals are lauded as "patriots" and law-abiding Canadians are traitors. It really has devolved into something Im not even sure how to describe. Certainly they have no morals or principles.
@maxfawcett Shocking. First I was going to make a joke about Brian peckford must have dementia but it's not really funny. I would feel so much better if he really did have dementia but to know that once respected politician is engaging in trash like this is really depressing
@maxfawcett It’s hilarious that they think he wrote the charter. 🤣
@maxfawcett Peckford is a Newfoundland disgrace. Worst Premier in nfld
@maxfawcett @dodo99 Thoughts and prayers to the Coutts 3. 😆 🤣 😂
