Supremes say they'll re-hear
The Supreme Court of Canada may end up having second thoughts about their interpretation of the Charter in the Dr. Chaoulli and Zeliotis case.
That case, my Western Standard story from last October entitled "Freedom Fighter" (PDF / WEB) is good on details, looked like it might introduce a second, private parallel system to Canada's current not-exactly-so-good one. With Justice Major's retirement, this could get ugly.

Just to clarify, there won't be a rehearing per se: they grant the motion for rehearing when they render judgment (in this case, suspending the declaration of invalidity of the legislation) at the rehearing.
