For anyone else out of the loop: From what I gather, Mexico is currently trying to make it so that judges are elected, rather than appointed. Canada and the US are fussing about this and threating trade sanctions, claiming that electing judges will somehow harm Mexico's democracy (as you might expect, the reasons I found were a bunch of FUD without much substance). Mexico wants them to mind their own fucking business.

Canada and the US should mind their own damn business, what the hell does Mexico having elected judges matter to them?

It matters to Canada because the US told them to care. I have absolutely no clue about the US. Presumably they spent a lot of money getting those judges appointed and don't want to lose their investments?
