14 articulos hace 1 hora 13

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. El Comité Ejecutivo respalda una Green Line en superficie por el centro, por 10 Ave S.W. El comité votó 12-1 el martes a favor de una alineación en superficie por 10 Avenue S.W., con término en una estación entre 1 y 2 Street S.W.; la concejal del Distrito 2, Jennifer Wyness, fue la única disidente. Funcionarios del proyecto dijeron que esta opción es la única que cabe en el presupuesto actual tras estudiar 22 alineaciones entre 2016 y 2024.
  2. El concejal Landon Johnston pide disculpas por filtrar documentos confidenciales del presupuesto y dice que lo volvería a hacer. Johnston admitió haber entregado a Global News documentos presupuestarios de sesión a puerta cerrada que mostraban un escenario con hasta 20% de aumento en el impuesto a la propiedad y dijo a los reporteros que volvería a incumplir las normas; el concejo no puede sancionarlo porque cambios en la ley provincial eliminaron esa facultad.
  3. Business Council of Alberta instó a votar ‘Choose Canada’ antes del referéndum separatista del 19 de octubre. El Business Council, que representa a más de 130 directores ejecutivos, advirtió que la votación del 19 de octubre crearía “incertidumbre masiva”, y su presidente Adam Legge calificó la separación como una “apuesta arriesgada.”
  4. El líder separatista Jeffrey Rath enfrenta una demanda por deuda de 109 millones de dólares estadounidenses. El financiador de Delaware Diriba Investments LLC alega que Rath y RathPC incumplieron financiamientos vinculados a litigios, buscando casi 109 millones de dólares más intereses y costas; el experto en insolvencias de la Universidad de Alberta, Roderick Wood, calificó la demanda como “muy, muy seria.”

Medio ambiente

  1. Propietarios de tierras piden revisión judicial del financiamiento de la tasa para pozos huérfanos del Alberta Energy Regulator. Ecojustice representa a los propietarios Dwight Popowich y Teresa Patry en una revisión judicial ante la Court of King’s Bench que impugna la “financiación crónica insuficiente” de la Orphan Well Levy; la tasa para 2026-27 es de 154.56 millones mientras que el costo total estimado de limpieza es de 1.66 mil millones.
  2. Bomberos trabajaron durante la noche para contener un incendio en un vertedero del sureste de Calgary. Las brigadas continuaron operaciones nocturnas en el sitio del vertedero del sureste de Calgary el martes, según el informe de un esfuerzo de contención en curso.
