I think they're more comfortable with laws existing in "tension" with each other. American law is more emphatic about declaring which principles supersede others when there's a conflict.

I don't know if Canada has a supreme court to appeal to, but it's wild that the judge was like "Yeah, this ruling creates a legal paradox, but you guys can figure it out later."
