It seems like "on pause" means very little here except as a gesture of displeasure at the US and Canadians' expressions of displeasure at the proposed judicial reforms.

having judges elected to office, something analysts, judges and international observers fear would stack courts with politically biased judges with little experience.
Well, judging by the US where the vast majority if not all judges are either elected or appointed by elected officials, it's clearly a justified worry, what with all the incompetent and/or corrupt judges littering benches at all levels..
We don't pick our judges here in America, and they're plenty partisan as it is. How much experience did ACB or Cannon have?
Something tells me this is just the complaints of rich people being mad that they might not be able to pick the judges themselves.
Bingo!, yes, they are worried elected judges will not choose the rich above regular people.
“Slammed!”
This is very confusing…
So the people against the plan are “investors and financial institutions”. And people want the president to “respect democracy”.
But the plan is to have judges be democratically elected instead of appointed?
Feels like the elites don’t like this plan cause it’ll be slightly harder to handpick their guys to the courts, and are on a media campaign against it.
America's 'democratically elected judges' are not unbiased. Just look at SCOTUS ffs. Those judges were elected to every judgeship they had previously yet some can't seem to reason themselves out of a wet paper back.
