HALIFAX A Nova Scotia court has used cyberbullying laws to order Google to provide information about who is behind a blog and a YouTube channel that a couple says have been the source of harassment and insults. The couple, Sakura Saunders and Darius Mirshahi, say in affidavits filed before Nova Scotia Supreme Court in January that a blog using the name Antifa exposed falsely alleges the two are involved in movements that are terrorist organizations. Saunders, who identifies herself as a social justice activist and writer, says in her affidavit that a YouTube channel and the blog are filled with false conspiracy theories and is written in a hateful tone that incorrectly suggests she is violent.

HALIFAX A two-year court fight by Nova Scotia s Opposition has ended with a judge ordering the province to disclose how much it pays in management fees to a heavily subsidized private ferry operator. The Progressive Conservatives went to court seeking the release of information about the fee paid to Bay Ferries for operating the ferry between Yarmouth, N.S., and Maine. In a decision released Tuesday, Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Richard Coughlan said he found no evidence that disclosing the fee would harm Bay Ferries competitive position, contrary to what the company argued in court. The management fee is the profit margin Bay Ferries is prepared to accept to operate the Yarmouth to Maine ferry service, Coughlan wrote. I find the evidence does not meet the test to establish . that release of the management fee will result in undue financial loss for Bay Ferries Ltd., or undue gain to another bidder.
