Ah, yes, they'll give the Competition Bureau teeth. Sure they will, the fucking liars.

    Whatever teeth the Competition Bureau has, the Harper-appointed judge on the Competition Tribunal apparently has bigger ones.

    So for how many years of the Liberal administration is the responsibility of the issues with the Competition Bureau going to be Harpers? Should we give it another 8?

    The judiciary is complicated, since they can't just fire a judge they don't like. I think the Liberals have been stung hard enough on that front after SNC Lavalin.
