The SC Chief Justice gets paid $387,000 per year while your lowly SC Judge gets $358,000 per year.
For some reason  it just doesn't inspire a lot of outrage in the average Canadian who probably makes $50,000 per year. |
If, as you suggest, the average Canadian, after reading about Harper's personal attack on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, probably the most powerful and most respected institution in Canada, one that has without question had a profound impact on the day to day life of every single Canadian, will come away from that discourse with a nonsensical observation about salaries, then this country is truly lost. I refuse to believe that this is the case, however.
