Justin Trudeau announces resignation as Canadian prime minister

This seems a bit confused.

Canada is not the US. Why would it matter when the judiciary is not a co-equal branch of government?

i.e. When there is Parliamentary sovereignty/supremacy?

An inferior authority can never legally overrule a superior authority by definition.

Then there is an external guarantor of the rights of the people against the government.

How can a subordinate entity be external?

A subordinate judiciary isn’t coëqual.

I know it’s not coequal, because I was the one who wrote this…

You mean the same external guarantor of the rights who gets picked by the same government?
