	Supreme Court of Canada - The Canadian Judicial System
		The power to appoint the judges of the superior courts in the provinces - which includes the provincial courts of appeal as well as the trial courts of general jurisdiction - is given to the federal government, as is the obligation to provide for the remuneration of those judges and the authority to remove them.
		The Supreme Court of Canada sits at the apex of the structure and, consistent with its role as "a General Court of Appeal for Canada", hears appeals from both the federal court system, headed by the Federal Court of Appeal and the provincial court systems, headed in each province by that province’s Court of Appeal.
		These latter courts can fairly be described as the lynchpin of the Canadian judicial system since, reflecting the role of their English counterparts, on which they were modelled, they are the only courts in the system with inherent jurisdiction in addition to jurisdiction granted by federal and provincial statutes.

		Although created by an Act of Canada's Parliament in 1875, its decisions could be reviewed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council until 1949 when the Supreme Court of Canada truly became the final and highest court in the country.
		In this sense, statutory courts are similar to non-judicial adjudicative bodies such as administrative tribunals, boards, commissions, etc. The practical implication of this is that a statutory court cannot provide a type of legal remedy or relief that is not expressly or implicitly referred to in its enabling or empowering statute.
		Trial judges typically take a passive role during trial, however, during their charge to the jury, judges may comment upon the value of certain testimony or suggest the appropriate amount of damages in a civil case.

		The province of Ontario in Canada is in the process of setting up the first Sharia court to exist anywhere in the world outside an Islamic country.
		This move, which according to critics undermines the secular court system in Canada, culminated almost 20 years of campaigning by the Canadian Islamic Congress, the Canadian Society of Muslims, and others to set up an arbitration process for their members which would be recognized by the Ontario Arbitration Act.
		The proponents of the Sharia court capitalized on the multicultural policies of the Canadian government which they saw as empty rhetoric and put forward their plan not only to create a separate Islamic court but to re-introduce religion into public life in Canada.

		Canada's ideology is better (because it incorporates a practical goal whereas the U.S.'s is pure ideology) and therefore its system is better, but the more non-ideological European systems are better still.
