Gen. Jonathan Vance, chief of the defence staff, pictured speaking to reporters in West Block on June 17, 2019, has said reservist Patrik Mathews was under investigation by the military’s counter-intelligence unit. So why, asks Scott Taylor, did his local brigade commander say they were unaware of his extra-curricular activities until a newspaper reporter went undercover and reported them?

Opinion | BY MICHAEL HARRIS | August 12, 2019

U.S. President Donald Trump recently turned his Twitter ire to Baltimore Rep. Elijah Cummings.
