Angel Jenkel, a 24-year-old multimedia artist from Minnesota who is engaged to a Canadian, can now remain in Canada while their case is judicially reviewed, in a judgment that their lawyers hailed as precedent-setting.

      Sorry to cause confusion! Given that Beehaw’s guidelines on other communities advises to not editorialize titles and The Globe and Mail’s wide renown as a Canadian paper, it seemed safest to me to leave the title unaltered. You however are correct according to my understanding of some* guidelines, ‘Canadian’ belongs in the title!

      Edit: I don’t remember, maybe it was AP Guidelines?
