Extractions: Web posted at: 7:24 p.m. EST (0024 GMT) HUNTSVILLE, Texas (CNN) Hours before he was set to die, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of execution Thursday night for Joseph Stanley Faulder, a Canadian national facing a lethal injection for the 1975 murder of an elderly east Texas oil matriarch. Earlier in the day, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans had lifted a stay of execution granted Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, who questioned whether Faulder got a fair hearing from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles before it turned down his bid for clemency. Texas officials then began preparing to put Faulder to death. But his attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court, which granted a stay "pending disposition of his petition," according to a court spokesman. Faulder, 61, would have been the first Canadian put to death in the United States since 1952. He has been on death row for 21 years.

Extractions: Gun Control Challenge Provinces challenge Firearms Act in Supreme Court Dateline: 02/28/00 The Alberta government, along with five other provinces and two territories, has challenged Canada's federal Firearms Act in the Supreme Court. Alberta claims that some provisions of the Firearms Act fall within the exclusive powers of the provinces over property and civil rights. The federal government maintains it has the authority to implement the national gun registry in the interest of crime prevention and public safety. The Firearms Act was passed in 1995 and established a program for licensing all owners of firearms in Canada, as well as a registration program for firearms. Provisions of the law are gradually being phased in until 2003. Some of the provisions of Canada's gun control law are: all gun owners will need to have a license to own or obtain a gun by 2001 safety checks will be made on an applicant before a license is issued spouses and partners of applicants will be notified when a new applicant wishes to acquire a gun new applicants will have to pass a safety course all firearms must be registered by 2003. To register a firearm, applicants must have a license.

It stipulates that the Parliament of Canada could set up a General Court of Appeal "for the better administration of the Laws of Canada." There has been controversy, ever since 1875, on the meaning of "Laws of Canada" (For a discussion, see Jacques Brossard, La Cour Suprême et la Constitution , 1968, pp.122-130) . However, as it has come to be applied, the jurisdiction of the court extends to civil, criminal and constitutional matters arising from both federal and provincial laws in a manner that parallels the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States.

A-7 OTTAWA The following text is an excerpt from yesterday's Supreme Court of Canada decision on the public signs provisions of Quebec's Bill 101, in the case of Quebec vs. La Chaussure Brown's (Brown's Shoes). Freedom of expression The "freedom of expression" guaranteed by Section 2 (b) of the Canadian Charter (of Rights and Freedoms) and Section 3 of the Quebec Charter (of Human Rights and Freedoms) includes the freedom to express oneself in the language of one's choice. Language is so intimately related to the form and content of expression that there cannot be true freedom of expression by means of language if one is prohibited from using the language of one's choice.
