Canada's top judge and justice minister warn of political threats to judicial independence, citing Alberta's premier and attacks on court rulings.
Chief Justice Richard Wagner and Justice Minister Sean Fraser warned of rising threats to Canada’s judicial independence, citing political pressure on court appointments and funding, particularly from Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith.
They condemned rhetoric that undermines court decisions, including calls to jail political opponents and the use of the notwithstanding clause to override rights protections.
Both stressed the need to preserve the rule of law and keep courts separate from partisan politics amid growing polarization.
