This is maddening.
"Three lost their lives. I may be standing here breathing, alive, but I am dead, and more dead than the victims," Bone said from the prisoner's box as the victim's loved ones sat in the gallery.

Re-upping this op-ed that I wrote in April. It seems really relevant right now. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/…

The trial of Justin Bone, charged with murdering two men in Chinatown 4-1/2 years ago, remains a mess. Bone was supposed to be here this a.m., but sheriffs forgot him. Also, his lawyer says he’s fired him again — he’s fired at least 5. Judge said trial is going ahead regardless.

Bless the political cartoonists for helping us maintain some sanity in these bizarro times.

Pete Hegseth reportedly wanted Dwight Eisenhower's globe in his office, but did not want to wait for historians to move it and went rogue.
Hegseth's staff then attempted to move it themselves and broke the historic globe.

This is the message from the US president a day after our (ostensibly allied) military suffers four dead and scores seriously injured. And not one word of condolence on any official US admin social media account.
Savages. This is literally unforgivable. We must never forget.

The first soldiers to go behind enemy lines in Afghanistan were Canadian JTF 2. They laser lit targets for American ordinance. Ask any REAL U.S soldier what they think of JTF 2, not this asshole. They were followed by PPCLI special operations forces from Canada. You are a liar.
Hegseth on Afghanistan:
I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters.
It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there.
Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations.
In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths.

I served two tours in Afghanistan alongside allied troops. We shared tents and flew missions in the same skies. Over 1,000 soldiers from partner nations died fighting with us there.
When our SecDef diminishes their sacrifice, he damages trust with allies we may need again.
Plus, he's the SecDef. He should be strengthening our alliances, not teaching ROTC cadets.

This procedural quagmire is one of the first things I thought of when Smith announced her move, and the UCP is going to need to figure out a workaround. Council is required by law to be impartial in a public hearing, but how can they be when the UCP has directed the outcome? #yeg
My latest for the @edmontonjournal
Mayor says requirement to hold public hearing on bylaw he's been directed to vote against puts councillors in violation of Municipal Government Act
