我看福特免职：始作俑者 咎由自取

胖子比窦娥都冤

Hackland不是总理任命的。 再补充一下啊： 总理宣布委任的一般是Chief Justice、Associate Chief Justice、Puisne Chief Justice这个级别的大法官。在宣告中是PM announces打头， 而Hackland是由司法部长宣布任命的，在宣告中是Ontario Judicial Appointments Announced。 而最高法院的大法官是由总理推荐，总督委任的。省级高等法院Superior Court和联邦最高法院Supreme Court不是一回事，以前俺有弄混过。 关于大法官任免的程序：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_appointments_in_Canada -------------------------------- WHAT DO JUDGES DO? A judge’s role is to make a decision between parties in a legal dispute, based on the facts of the case and the law that applies to the facts. The parties must accept the judge’s decision as final, unless one of them appeals the judge’s decision to a higher court. How do judges get appointed? Judges are appointed “to the Bench.” The federal government appoints judges who hear cases in the superior courts (which include: provincial and territorial superior courts, provincial courts of appeal, the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal, the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada, the Tax Court of Canada, and the Supreme Court of Canada（最后这句不严谨...）). The provincial and territorial governments appoint judges who hear cases in the provincial and territorial (lower) courts. Judicial candidates must have practiced law in Canada and have other important qualifications. After they are appointed, judges have access to special training on all aspects of judging and all areas of the law. How long can a judge remain a judge? Once a judge is appointed, they are eligible to be a judge until the age of retirement. For federally appointed judges, retirement is mandatory at age 75. In some provincial and territorial jurisdictions, the retirement age is 70. A judge can be removed from office only if an independent investigation shows that they have not met the high standard of personal conduct required of judges, both in court and in public, and that the Canadian Judicial Council recommends to Parliament (through the Minister of Justice) that the judge be removed from office. Judicial councils have responsibility for promoting professional standards and conduct of judges. There is a separate judicial council for judges appointed by a province or territory, and those appointed by the federal government. A judicial council may recommend that a judge be removed from office if it finds that a judge has been guilty of serious misconduct. The Canadian Judicial Council is responsible for federally appointed judges only. The process for making a complaint about a federally appointed judge and the Council’s review of that complaint is described in another part of this website called Expected Conduct of Judges. What is judicial independence? Judicial independence is paramount in the Canadian judicial system. The Canadian Constitution provides that the judiciary (the judges) is separate from and independent of the other two branches of government – the legislative and the executive. So, while the government’s role is to create laws for Canadian society, a judge’s job is to interpret those laws. It is important to remember that the courts do not make new laws; they make decisions based on existing laws that the government has passed. Judicial independence means that judges are not subject to pressure and influence, and are free to make good decisions based solely on fact and law. Independence is ensured by three things: Security of tenure – Once appointed, a judge is entitled to serve on the Bench until the age of retirement, unless there is good reason for them to be removed from office. Financial security – Judges are paid sufficiently so they are not dependent on or subject to pressure from other institutions. Administrative independence – The chief justice in each province and territory decides how that court manages the litigation process and which cases the judges will hear. ------------------------------------------- 【Judicial Appointments】 http://www.canada.justice.gc.ca/eng/news-nouv/index.asp?tid=4 【Hackland的委任通知】 The Honourable Charles T.

回复 ariel.c：谢谢指点！看来哈珀和Hackland没有直接联系，希望作者今后注意论述的准确性，人为误导读者终究不是什么好事。

回复 良心发现：补充两点： 第一，Charles Hackland法官确实和哈珀有点关系。他是哈珀政府的司法部长Rob Nicholson于2008年提拔成现在的东区高级法官senior regional judge, East Region. 第二，您为何不把“Charles Hackland”和Harper放一起Google一下？Hackland曾经做出对Harper有利的判决。 如果有人因为Hackland判决福特而认定他是“左派”，那么Hackland判决哈珀的案子是否可以认定这个法官是“右派”？

Whatever~ Again，poll，please。 ——你喜欢臆想贴标签，我喜欢刨根问题。😁

回复 ariel.c：自己去听广播。，。俺没功夫。洗洗睡了。。劝你也别操心。再上来一个米勒一样的市长，对你未必是福 俺只要垃圾工人不罢工就行 -- 福特，干的好

回复 熊熊燃烧：天天听广播，抱歉没听到过这样的调查结果，莫非是我偏台或走神了？呵呵... 实话实说，俺一向不信调查结果的，俺只想确认你不是习惯性道听途说而已。😁
