CETA was supposed to be an easy win for Canada and the European Union alike. But after becoming a political football, questions loom about whether next weeks elections will save it or kill it for good.

In a narrow 6-5 decision, Norways Supreme Court ruled Friday that the largely Indigenous community of Karasjok does not have collective property rights over a vast area in the countrys northernmost region.

A case before Norway's Supreme Court could see an area in the north of the country transferred to local, Indigenous control and would be the first time such a land claim succeeded in Europe. If it fails, the process the Indigenous Smi helped establish could be called into question.
