Listen "Does Ontario Actually Need Tougher Judges?"
Episode Synopsis
Premier Doug Ford recently declared that he thought it was time for Ontario to start electing judges, ranting against "bleeding heart" jurists and suggesting that all appointments are political.

To discuss, we're joined by Donna Kellway President of the Ontario Crown Attorneys' Association Boris Bytensky President of the Criminal Lawyers' Association of Ontario Peter Copeland Deputy director of domestic policy at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former director of policy to the solicitor general of Ontario and Shakir Rahim Director of the criminal justice program at the Canadian Civil Liberties AssociationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
