    Well, looking at how partisan the supreme Court is it clearly is a problem in the USA that doesn’t seem to affect its northern neighbor…

      Judges on the Canadian Supreme Court are similarly appointed by the executive (they just have a Prime Minister instead of a President) so that isn’t the problem.

        You’re missing the point, Canadian judges don’t have to tell which party they support so there’s no expectation from them and it’s much harder to make a call before the case begins what the judges’ opinion will be even if they’ve been put in place by a specific party.
