Always remember that the SCC is composed of lawyers appointed, not elected,  to their jobs by politicians, mostly always other lawyers of  a similar ideological perspective.  

In the US the politicization of the Court is blatant  and odious.   Yet there it is actually part of the system and it is transparent and clear. 

Here.  the intrigue is  subterranean. 

We allegedly appoint objective jurors with the wisdom of Solon and Solomon.  In fact, fake news apart, our politicians only appoint like-minded folk. 

On balance, even with egregious defects and outrages, Canadian judges should be voted on, not appointed. 

Too much lese majeste and repulsive decisions which continue to offend the conscious of most Canadians must be ended.
