Let's start with confidential sources. The court should rule this fall on the National Post's bid to protect a source behind reporter Andrew McIntosh's investigation into former prime minister Jean Chretien's business dealings in his home riding -- the so-called Shawinigate affair. Ontario's Court of Appeal has ordered the Post to hand over a bank document to the RCMP for forensic tests that could prove it's a forgery and identify the person who leaked it.
