Another thing: legal systems run on constitutions and CONVENTIONS. For example, Canada's GG appoints judges (constitutional); but the PM proposes appointees (conventional).

There'd be a "That's not the way we do things here" uproar if the GG were to make a few appointments, say based on recommendations by provincial legal bars. But it would awaken the current Executive from its sleepy drift.

The appointment of judges is another example of the federal government's ever-growing inability to perform its basic functions, public works being another since around 1990.
