Strapped for time but looking for a quick morning update? Well, we've got it.

Here are the 5 things you need to know this Tuesday: an Afghanistan war veteran says he was denied insurance because of PTSD; a new Justice has been named to the Supreme Court; tornadoes touched down in Manitoba; two Alberta men are set to be sentenced today for their role in one of Canada’s largest Ponzi schemes; a Winnipeg dad got away with a stern rebuke after leaving his kids trapped in a hot car; and a beloved children’s book author has a new book coming out.

Plus for “Tech Tuesday,” a new study regarding messages on Twitter could provide clues about the stock market.

1. Denied insurance: A veteran of the Afghanistan war says he has been denied insurance because of PTSD. Shaun Arnsten says he feels like he’s been penalized for his condition.

2. Supreme Court appointment: Prime Minister Stephen Harper has named Alberta Court of Appeal Justice Russell Brown as his latest appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada. Brown, a former barrister and law professor, is taking over for the retiring Justice Marshall Rothstein, whose departure takes effect as of Aug. 31. Brown will be the second member of the high court from western Canada, the other being Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin.

3. Tornadoes in Manitoba: Two tornadoes were reported in Manitoba overnight, shutting down roads and leaving a wake of possible damage behind. Storm chasers captured some amazing footage of one tornado touching down in southern Manitoba.

4. Hot car warning: An unidentified father got a stern warning from Winnipeg police after two young children were left in a hot, parked car for more than 30 minutes. Witnesses told CTV Winnipeg that the children were left in the car while the temperature outside was 29 C. The man was allowed to leave with his kids, but police warn that similar incidents could lead to an arrest.

5. Lost and now found: A new Dr. Seuss book is hitting bookshelves today, and the story puts pets on display. Titled “What Pet Should I Get?” the good doctor looks to help children make a decision on getting a Lorax or even a cat in a hat.

Oh and one more thing for Tech Tuesday...

The results of a new study suggest that the type and frequency of messages posted on Twitter may indicate how investors are feeling about particular stocks, and where the market may go.
