This Canadian is quite pleased that we have an independent supreme court, who can overturn a corrupt or foolish law or legal decision.  Our constitution allows the Courts to make decisions that meet the broad social goals of our Constitution. 

 Most countries where the rule of law is the guiding force, these countries have supreme courts that can overule the elected government and anyone else. Which is a good thing. From time to Time. Or as often as needed. 

Do we want a judicial system like that of Venezuela, like that of Poland, or some Soviet Bloc country, where the courts have no independence." I think not. Especially because its often the elected officials who are swayed by extreme ideas and solutions. And we have the courts to protect us. 

Besides, in Canada, should a government really really want to pass a law and there is support, they can use the notwithstanding clause.  So ultimately the legislature does have supremacy. Provided there is broad support. 

Sounds sensible.
