Yes, Saskatoon, there is a Chief Justice

I hate to keep harping on the subject outlandish judicial costumes, but it keeps coming up.

Chris from Canada forwards this link to the "Supreme Court of Canada Collection," and adds:

These outfits inspire neither respect nor fear. To me, they inspire the urge to tell the Judge what I want for Christmas.

Perhaps that's just me.


No, Chris, it's not just you. They have the same effect on me.

If you run into him, please tell Mr. Justice Bastarache to give me some money; that I have no time for his cuddly toys; that I'll beat him up if he doesn't hand it over; that I want his bread, and not to make me annoyed; and tell him to give all the toys to the little rich boys...

(Ironically, perhaps, Pere Noel presides over the Court of the country that gave the world the "holiday tree.")
