The Conservatives are now attacking the judiciary at the highest level after losing a few rounds at the Supreme Court. This after Harper personally named 5 of the 8 currently sitting judges, plus the current Chief Justice was first appointed to the Court by a previous Conservative government in 1989. While we do not thankfully mirror the US Supreme Court and their partisan appointments, you'd think Harper would have had a bit of an edge in that he controlled who was appointed to the bench.
Maybe the problem is not with the judges, or the Chief Justice in particular, but with the side the Government is on for the cases that come before the Court. But of course the modus operandi remains the same: attack and attack some more when you don't get your way.
