Ideology drives every aspect of this government's behaviour. I would guess that every appointment must be vetted for ideological conformity and every appointment must fit DEI criteria. That takes time. I expect any successor government will face a hostile, ideological bureaucracy and court. That will be Trudeau's greatest legacy.

A lawyer friend tells me too many of the applicants for judge positions are white males. A brilliant white male colleague applied and did not obtain a position. A brilliant gay female colleague applied and quickly ascended to the position. Rather than have qualified applicants fill the empty positions, the Liberals are taking the 'principled' stance of leaving them vacant until a person with a diverse background becomes available.
