Smith has gone so far as to say judges should be answerable to politicians.
“I wish I could direct the judges, honestly,” Smith said on a radio show, adding that she wanted the Alberta government “to have a joint process to choose those judges so we start choosing judges in Alberta that reflect the values of how we want them to operate here.”
Kaycee Madu was formally reprimanded for contacting the Edmonton Police Service Chief about a ticket. His wife ends up with a lifetime appointment to the bench. I think the UCP have more than enough control over who gets selected to be judges. If Smith’s UCP are not happy with those judges, something else is seriously wrong.
