"To rise to the level of misconduct, the judge must have gone beyond mere error."
While I agree with this statement, is making politically incorrect statements qualify for "beyond mere error"? The case in question was re-tried, and resulted in second acquittal, so what else other than objectionable comments are there? 

If anything, this shows that judicial review system in Canada is farcical kangaroo court that is swayed by political expediency. Feminists asked for pound of flesh and to make an example and it was delivered.
