Canada Is Corrupt When it Comes to Choosing Judges

• Here's a fun fact you probably didn't know -- Canadian judicial appointments are among the most corrupt in the entire world.

  
  

  That's the opinion of the human rights watchdog group Global Integrity, at least, who gave the integrity of Canada's judicial appointments a pitiful 32 out of 100 in their 2010 survey on good governance around the globe.

  
  

  On whether there's "a transparent procedure for selecting national-level judges" Canada received a flat "no." Our rating on whether "judges are appointed fairly" received an astonishing 17. Angola got 25. Hell, Bangladesh got 83...........
