The ruling came more than a month after the stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S. in 1973. The decision,

A mail carrier says her costs for delivering packages along her rural route have doubled because of the steep hike in gas prices and cost of living.

She says the government has a mandate to pursue more autonomy for Alberta now given last year's equalization referendum and the findings of the Fair Deal
