electriclandIs the Fraser Institute on crack? More than usual, I mean.
(Note to non-Canadians: the Fraser Institute is normally described as "a conservative think tank". Basically, they're highly successful media whores.)
The Fraser Institute also proposes another solution to limiting judicial activism: holding referenda on contentious judgments to allow people to choose between the court ruling, the original law, or some middle ground.Did they learn nothing from the whole Stockwell/Doris Day fiasco? Oh wait, that would presuppose that they have a sense of humour. Never mind.
Which is the greater threat to democracy: judicial activism or endless hijacked referenda? You be the judge!
