Canadian Press says the Supreme Court of Canada will decide whether the CRTC, backed by the federal government, is wrong to permit the airing of lavish celebrity-studded ads on US channels seen in Canada during the Super Bowl. Normally Canadian ads sold by CTV (owned by Bell) would be substituted into US channels carrying the game. The CRTC ruling denies Bell revenue from that substitution. The Supreme Court says the case provides an opportunity to consider how courts may review rulings by administrative bodies. That makes us all feel better no doubt.
SONS TO RUSSIAN SPIES
The SCOC will also decide on the right of the Vavilov brothers, Alexander, 23, and Timothy, 27, to become Canadian citiens even though their parents were expelled as Russian sleeper spies.
