So does it bother you that our laws can be changed so easily and replaced by laws of other cultures?

It would, if that were indeed the case, but its not.

"People can agree to resolve disputes any way acceptable," said Brendan Crawley, a spokesman for the Ontario Attorney General's office said in an interview. He said the arbitration act has a number of safeguards, including the requirement that parties enter into arbitration only on a voluntary basis, and any decisions by arbitrators are subject to court ratification.

No Canadian laws are being replaced here, only followed.

Arbitration of disputes outside the courts is something which happens all the time in Canada and probably every modern society.

No laws are being changed here. If the inflamatory and incorrect statement in one report you cite:

Canadian judges soon will be enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, in disputes between Muslims, possibly paving the way to one day administering criminal sentences, such as stoning women caught in adultery. worldnetdaily.com;

is what moves you, you just have to look at the source of this "news" and "opinion" and discount their views accordingly. If you rely on Worldnetdaily.com opinions you are going to be off-track frequently.
