Australian here. I find the excessive emotive flair throughout the judgment as pressing the boundaries on occasion. A court is supposed to act impartially and emotions kept in check. This kind of language could be appealable in Australia, see for instance, this news report from yesterday:

Maybe it's just more common in Canada for judges to be more forthright with their opinions.

This is in a very different vein than the language in that story and not equivalent
