More could be done to ensure judges act without bias, say the lawyers who wrote a complaint letter regarding comments made by the Supreme Court of Canada chief justice about the truckers’ convoy.

Queen’s University law professor Bruce Pardy and retired Ontario lawyer Karen Selick spoke to The Epoch Times about accountability among Canada’s judges. They are two of the 13 lawyers who complained to the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) about Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner’s remarks on the trucker-led protest against vaccine mandates in Ottawa earlier this year.
