10 For 10: Cowboys 10 Most Epic Draft Mistakes Over the Last 10 Years
We will be looking at the 10 biggest draft mistakes the Dallas Cowboys have had over the last 10 years, and I’m ranking them by draft value, lack of production, and how much the misses hurt Dallas moving forward. 138This one stands out to me more because the Cowboys draft offensive linemen well. Nahshon Wright had a good season last year in Chicago, but I think the Dallas Cowboys dropped the ball on this one. After years of fans wanting the Cowboys to draft a defensive tackle high in the draft, we got Hill, who was disappointing to say the least. Taco Charlton is the biggest Dallas Cowboys draft mistake of the last 10 years because everything about this pick makes it worse.

Alberta threatens to block federal housing deals after Red Deer loses funding
Alberta’s cabinet minister responsible for housing has delivered a warning to Ottawa: If Red Deer doesn't get the housing money it had arranged for from the federal government, the province won’t approve similar deals involving other municipalities. Red Deer was found to be non-compliant with a mandatory requirement of the program's second funding round: blanket zoning to allow up to four units per residential lot as-of-right. “We will not go to a blanket zoning position in order to get the $12 million,” said Red Deer Mayor Cindy Jefferies. In January, Red Deer city council passed a motion that directed city administration to continue to seek dialogue with Ottawa rather than immediately returning the $3 million in funding. The money previously earmarked for Red Deer has since been approved to be reallocated to Airdrie and Edmonton.

Bryan Brulotte: U.S. must finish what it's started in Iran while keeping allies onside
The United States and Israel have achieved undeniable tactical success. It has shifted the contest to terrain where Western power is less decisive. Most importantly, it is leveraging time, knowing that Western political patience is finite while its own system is built to endure. The suggestion that allies should independently secure the Strait, combined with threats to reconsider commitments to NATO, undermines the very framework that gives Western power its coherence. At a moment when global markets are under stress and regional stability is at risk, the United States should be reinforcing allied cohesion, not testing its limits.

Some grocery stores pull bogus maple syrup after Radio-Canada investigation
Some Quebec grocery stores are inviting customers to return their unopened cans of maple syrup following an investigation published earlier this week by Radio-Canada's Enquête program.
