🇨🇦 Canada’s judges police themselves, and now even lawyers are calling foul

Nothing says rule of law like a complaint system so opaque that lawyers are now challenging the very process meant to review allegations against judges. The judiciary, that sacred class forever demanding public trust, apparently prefers accountability behind frosted glass. As reported, the fight is over how misconduct complaints are screened and handled before the public ever gets a real look. Convenient setup if you enjoy institutional self-protection dressed up as independence.

This is the Trudeau-era state in miniature: elite guilds marking their own homework while ordinary Canadians are told to respect the process. Courts lecture the country on fairness, rights, and democratic norms, yet when scrutiny points inward, suddenly transparency becomes optional. A sovereign country needs institutions that answer to the nation, not insulated clubs managed by legal mandarins and procedural fog. If the bench wants reverence, it can start by tolerating daylight.
