McGuinty has spoken

Reuters reports: Ontario rejects sharia, faith-based arbitration. Jewish groups are not happy, as Premier McGuinty's decision would affect them as well. Says the premier: there must be "one law for all Ontarians." To be sure, there must be one public law. Yet not all law can be reduced to the public law of the state. Were McGuinty to recognize what might be called the pluriformity of laws, he might come to a different and more nuanced decision. Remarkably, the opposition Conservative and New Democratic Parties have chosen not to take issue with the governing Liberals on this matter.
