Doug Ford badmouths judges so often it’s almost old news. Not this time. The big news is that Ontario’s judges have now pushed back with a counterattack. And told our injudicious premier to back off. Ever since winning power seven years ago, Ford has crossed every line by maligning judges and undermining judicial independence.
