OTTAWA The Supreme Court of Canada says Alberta is not constitutionally required to enact its laws in both English and French.In a 6-3 split decision, the court ruled that the arguments in favour of bilingual legislation brought forward by two appellants were inconsistent with the historical documents they relied on.The ruling ends a legal fight that has spanned more than a decade, beginning when Alberta's Gilles Caron received a traffic ticket in 2003.
