Good morning everyone! Today in 1980, a Manitoba provincial court judge ruled that the provinces statutes did not need to be written in both English and French, dismissing a motion that English-only speeding tickets and the Manitoba statutes on which they were based were invalid because they were not bilingual. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld the decision in 1986. Also today in 1883, the first Salvation Army service in Canada was held at London, Ont. and in 1959, Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver Ernie Pitts set a CFL record with five touchdown catches against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Regina.
