Faced with an official complaint she be removed from office for revealing “bias” and a “political agenda,” Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin yesterday defended – and clarified – her role as head of a committee that recommended Dr. Henry Morgentaler receive the Order of Canada.
McLachlin said she doesn’t normally take part in the committee’s voting process – except to break a tie – and, “contrary to what has been reported,” doesn’t drive the closed-door debates over which nominees should be accorded the honour.
“Some idea was put out by – I don’t know who, some rumour or some source – that somehow the chair leads the discussion,” she told reporters at a news conference after a speech to the Canadian Bar Association’s governing council. “That’s just not the case.”
When will these people stop with their lies, obfuscations and slander? Well probably never. It is their modus operandi.
With no facts at hand and no basis in reality, they make up their own ‘facts’ and create their own ‘reality’ which they then try to foist on others.
This fundamentalist fetus fetishist freak out is getting old. Equally so their smearing spit speckled epistles and schmaltzy characterizations of every fertilized egg as perfectly white, pink cheeked, pudgy, progeny.
Your right to practice (and some of you could use the practice) religion ends at my right not to.
