Alberta’s courts should reflect Albertans. Alongside Premiers Danielle Smith, Doug Ford, Scott Moe, and Francois Legault, we’re calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to bring in a new, collaborative approach to the judicial appointment process. See the letter below 👇

Avec mes homologues de l’Alberta @ABDanielleSmith, de l’Ontario @fordnation et de la Saskatchewan @PremierScottMoe, nous écrivons au premier ministre @MarkJCarney pour faire avancer la réforme du processus de nomination des juges. Le Québec doit jouer un rôle de premier plan dans la sélection des juges de ses cours supérieures. Nous proposons que les nominations soient faites à partir de candidats recommandés et approuvés par les provinces. Une réforme essentielle pour renforcer la confiance envers notre système de justice. Lisez notre lettre!

Doug Ford@fordnation·
Ontario deserves a real say in the appointment of judges making critical decisions on issues like bail reform, which directly impacts public safety in our province. This week, I joined several other premiers writing to Prime Minister Carney asking for judicial reform that respects provincial interests across Canada.

I joined Premiers Smith, Legault, and Ford in calling on Prime Minister Carney to adopt a renewed, collaborative approach to judicial appointments. Canadians deserve a process that reinforces public trust and reflects the full diversity of our provinces. Provinces know their communities best. A meaningful role in judicial appointments ensures our courts reflect each province’s realities. @ABDanielleSmith @fordnation @francoislegault @MarkJCarney

@TheNorthStar55 @echipiuk @ABDanielleSmith Absolutely not. The disaster to the south is more than enough evidence against such a ridiculous notion. They need to be appointed based on merit not who they can buy & win favour with. Smith can’t even choose competent staffers - see Anderson & McAllister as examples

Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith·
Canada needs to reform how we appoint judges to the superior trial courts and courts of appeal of the provinces, as well as to the Supreme Court of Canada. I am joining with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Quebec Premier François Legault, in writing to Prime Minister Mark Carney requesting a new, collaborative approach, wherein our governments can meaningfully engage in filling judicial positions in our respective jurisdictions.

Asking these questions is not about undermining the judiciary. It is about strengthening public confidence. No system is perfect. We need to have this conversation openly. So let’s have the conversation: Should judges be appointed, elected, or is there a better model?

Most people don’t think about how judges are selected. But they should. Because the people interpreting and applying the law play a critical role in how our country functions. In Canada, judges are appointed, not elected.

@empoweredca How about what is the current Federal Equalization Formula? No politician ever tells us EXACTLY what it is. They only deflect from the topic by saying, "It's complicated." It seems, Canada is an Orwellian Animal Farm with some provinces being more "equal" than others

Most people argue about Canada, but few understand it. That is where the real problem starts. 📘 Reconnect to Canada was built for citizens who want to think, not just react. How laws are made. How power is used. What your rights are. And more importantly, how to use them.

Because when citizens are not present, not asking questions, and not participating, decisions still get made, just without you. Democracy is not something you watch. It is something you do. Attend meetings. Ask questions. Speak when it matters. That is how accountability works

Most people think everything happens in Ottawa. It doesn’t. Local decisions shape your daily life, from bylaws and development to policing, schools, and community priorities. And yet, this is where engagement is often the lowest. That is a problem.
