(Ottawa, Canada) Canada's Supreme will deliver a ruling Thursday on what is considered the biggest gay class action suit every filed, worth possibly as much as $100 million with accrued interest. The case involves more than 1,000 gay men and lesbians whose same-sex partners died in the period between April 17, 1985 and January 1, 1998. Those partners paid into the government run Canada Pension Plan most of their working lives, but unlike heterosexual pensioners, when they died their survivor benefits were not paid to their surviving partners.
