Manning weighs move to Stornoway mansion amid public pressure
Prime Ministerial opposition leader Preston Manning says he will only move into the Stornoway official residence if there is genuine public pressure. Reform MPs split as critics argue living in a $2.5 million mansion while poverty remains high would send the wrong signal. Ramsay joins others urging Manning to consider the move if a grassroots campaign grows.

Toronto pays over 200000 in McLean sex scandal settlement
The deal with former Ontario Speaker Al McLean and Sandi Thompson assigns about 212000 in taxpayers funds to cover legal fees. Chris Stockwell, citing Human Rights Commission talks, refused to disclose details, noting the agreement hinges on dropping the case. Thompson accused McLean of four sexual advances and harassment. McLean, 60, denies the charges and resigned last September. Thompson, 49, was a special assistant in the speaker's office. Government House Leader Dave Johnson said the out of court settlement aims to minimize taxpayer costs.

Supreme Court mulls pregnancy intervention limits in Canada
The Supreme Court of Canada weighing where to draw lines on forcing a pregnant woman to protect her unborn child faces a landmark case from Winnipeg. A solvent-sniffing addicted expectant mother, Ms. G., was pressured into treatment last year and has since delivered a healthy baby and is pregnant again. More than a dozen lawyers attended the Ottawa hearing as justices, led by Chief Justice Antonio Lamer, questioned how far state intrusion should extend to unborn children and whether smoking or drinking could invite similar intervention.
