I wasn’t even talking about appointed positions, I was talking about earned positions. Much like a promotion from middle management to C-suite, it isn’t appointed or elected. It’s an evaluation of whom would be the best candidate for the position based on partisan-free metrics.

You start being partisan in your work as a lawyer, that translates directly into poor job performance, which would make you ineligible for any Judge position.

Canada has many positions that are earned, but which would be corrupted by either appointed or elected officials.
