A former Canadian soldier faces a court martial Monday on charges including striking a superior officer. Retired Corporal Garett Rollman is charged in incidents alleged to have occurred in February 2016, when he was still an active member, in Aldershot, Nova Scotia. The former reservist also faces two charges of “conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline.” They include uttering a racial slur and acting in an intimidating manner.

Halifax Libraries Consider Book Vending Machines
Halifax Public Libraries issued a tender on Friday for vending machines that can dispense books. The tender states the machines should be able to hold between 100 and 150 books and be able to work by scanning library cards. There’s no word yet on where the machines would be placed but libraries in other cities have placed vending machines in high traffic community areas like transit terminals, arena’s and community centres.
