It will be sunny and cold today with a high of -10 C. Just brace yourself for the wind chill this morning. It feels like -27.
Here are five articles to read in Tuesday’s Edmonton Journal:
1. Slain Mountie’s twin brother speaks: http://bit.ly/1vY407i
You must read Cailynn Klingbeil’s heart-wrenching story about an RCMP officer whose twin brother was one of four RCMP officers shot and killed in Mayerthorpe 10 years ago.
2. Crown argues Baby M’s mother should get 25 years: http://bit.ly/1AUUPVw
The 37-year-old woman who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in July 2014 for abusing, starving and neglecting her infant twin girls until one died and another barely recovered has since denied all responsibility. The Crown is still arguing that she should serve 25 years in prison.
3. Travis Vader back in custody: http://bit.ly/1zEfQib
The accused in one of the most closely watched murder investigations was arrested Saturday night and charged with breaching court conditions.
4. Labour relations overhaul: http://bit.ly/1vY3SEE
The province is overhauling its collective bargaining model, which one critic says is demonizing the public sector and putting blame on them for a financial crisis created by consecutive Tory governments.
5. Her Madgesty coming to Rexall Place: http://bit.ly/1zEfQib
Madonna has chosen Edmonton as her only Alberta stop during her Rebel Heart tour through North America and Europe. (Take that, Calgary.) Tickets range from $40 to $355. Rebel Heart is her 13th album.
