S Sgt George Wool, facing discipline after challenging orders, lost an interim injunction in federal court in Ottawa. He sought to keep his investigation into former justice minister Doug Graham and current Government Leader Chris Pearson alive while pursuing a permanent injunction. Wool’s transfer and ongoing case prompt plans for an appeal, with a fall hearing anticipated.

Dioxin fears rise over Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte pollution
Ontario tests show no dioxin in eastern drinking water while U S tests find it in Lake Ontario fish. MP Simon de Jong cites a study showing a 200 to 300 percent increase in stillbirths in the Bay of Quinte area from 1971 to 1973. Researchers warn of cancer birth defects and miscarriages from exposure.
