An item in the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine applauds our chief justice’s idea to take the Supreme Court on the road
But will they have a merch table? A Feb. 25 item in the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine The National applauds our chief justice’s idea, pitched last year in the Globe, to take the Supreme Court out on the road like a rock band. “The idea,” Justice Richard Wagner said at the time, “is to be close to the people.” Close enough to mosh? “It’s all in line with our policy to be present in each province, to make sure that every citizen feels that the Supreme Court is there for them.
The idea of the Supreme Court transforming itself into a travellin' medicine show seemed to be a strange leap And, uh, the last time I checked we had an institution called the “Commons.” This creature is rooted so firmly to the soil of Ottawa that when its physical home there begins to crumble, we unthinkingly find other quarters in Ottawa, rather than making it spend a decade in Medicine Hat or Trois-Rivierès. Something is backwards here. Why is no one suggesting that the Senate go on tour?
