Well, I'm not sure if it ever was. Our judicial system seems to be less corrupt than say, the British system, but Canada seems to be less corrupt in its system than ours.

Canada has pretty much the same problems as the US or any other judicial system in democratic republics, e.g.,

Top judge snared in corruption probe

Canada scores a bit better on the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) but that measures on public perceptions...it's not necessarily factual. As long as people run something where human flaws intersect with power, such problems will exist to some degree. For example, it certainly has loads of corruption and ethics problems in its international business dealings.
