Nuclear-Lawsuit

The Premier is threatening to take legal action against the federal government over the refurbishment of the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant.


Shawn Graham says his government will sue Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, unless Ottawa takes care of the cost overruns of the 1.4-(b)-billion-dollar overhaul. The project is 18 months behind schedule.

Snowmobile-Death

Sixteen-year-old Devon O'Donnell and his father were riding snowmobiles Saturday when they hit a barbed-wire fence in a field in Williamstown.


Both were taken to hospital, where the teenager died.

Canada Post Increases

Canada Post are increasing the cost of sending a first class letter within the country to 57 cents from 54, while letters going to the US will cost a dollar, which is an increase of two cents.


Letters heading outside North America will rise by five cents to $1.70.

Canada Post is attributing the rate increases as a measure to raise funds to buy new machinery.
