Evacuees Return Hopes After Alberta Floods Lifted Warning
Evacuees, about 1000 people, wait to return home as heavy rain warnings ease in southwestern Alberta. In High River, floodwaters filled a basement with raw sewage and an RCMP check delayed returns. Some residents, including 77 year old Ernie Wood, were rescued from flooded driveways. Authorities monitor river rises near towns like Okotoks and Claresholm while drier weather is anticipated.

Bernardo Says He Won't Contact Homolka From Prison
Colin Perkel reports that Paul Bernardo, serving a life term for murder and sex crimes, has shown no interest in contacting his ex-wife Karla Homolka who is to be released from a Quebec jail. Bernardo’s lawyer Tony Bryant described the sentiment as mutual and said Bernardo remains in solitary routine, with limited visits and meals in his cell. Bryant criticized Homolka’s release conditions as a façade and warned of possible risk to families.

Cotler warns Ottawa cannot guarantee religious protections in same sex bill
Justice Minister Irwin Cotler says Ottawa can define marriage but cannot assure ironclad protections for religious groups or provincial officials who decline to perform or solemnize same sex marriages. He notes provinces control wedding solemnization while courts weigh religious liberty issues amid backlash from churches and commissioners. The bill, likely to pass Commons soon, faces Senate scrutiny and opposition calls for clearer safeguards.
