OTTAWA — The chief justice of the Supreme Court sent a warning Monday about the risks elected officials run by reacting to decisions from the court without first having read the rulings themselves.
Richard Wagner issued that call during his annual news conference on the work of the top court and other matters pertaining to the administration of justice.
Some columnists blasted that phrasing and Quebec legislators unanimously passed a motion denouncing the ruling, claiming it tried to make women invisible and underlining the importance of using the word"woman." She shared an opinion piece written about the decision on social media, saying,"there is nothing confusing about the word 'woman,' it’s common sense" — invoking the Conservatives' frequent"common sense" rallying cry.
