(Ottawa, Canada) - Little Sisters, a Vancouver bookstore for gays and lesbians, will be at the centre of a Supreme Court ruling Friday on whether the government should pay the legal tab for the shop's epic fight against Canada Customs for blocking publications at the border. Little Sisters has been in and out of court for the last two decades challenging book censorship by customs officials, who say much of the material bound for the well-known shop is obscene and therefore banned from entry into Canada. The bookshop won a partial battle in the Supreme Court in 2000, when the bench chastised the ''oppressive and dismissive'' actions of customs officers, but left their censorship powers intact.
