Alberta press law challenged by federal government at Ottawa
The Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments on federal power to invalidate Alberta acts. One law requires newspapers to print government statements and disclose source information, a measure critics say harms press freedom. Other laws tax bank paid-up capital and reserve funds, and license credit institutions, with bankers arguing provincial overreach risks bank exits. Ex Governor Robert A Cooper, 63, noted as a U S district judge, tied to a Puerto Rico case. Eight Puerto Rican nationalists were convicted and sentenced to five years for an attempted slay plot against the U S government.
