I decided to look into this a bit.

It seems like the supreme court itself found that any modifications to it's composition would require a full unanimous constitutional change. Which is kind of strange, because the supreme court's composition isn't really referenced outside of that one line in the actual constitution. Who's to say the composition includes the number of people in it?

Yes, at current rate it would require the death and replacement of each individual judge to overturn. Long term. Seems easier to throw out Canada than achieve that or a constitutional change.
