The Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, representing Canada's 53,000 Inuit, and other Inuit organizations in Greenland and Norway filed a legal challenge against the EU's ban earlier this year, calling it illegal and immoral.'

'PLANS to build a state-of-the-art library next to Republican catastrophe Sarah Palin are causing outrage across mainstream America.
