22 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 9

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Inaresto ang Vancouver (British Columbia) pulis na si Const. Kal Dosanjh matapos ang mahigit dalawang taong lihim na imbestigasyon; 19 katao nag-ulat ng pagkalugi na higit sa $3 milyon. Inaresto ng Vancouver Police ang beteranong Const. Kal Dosanjh sa isang kontroladong paghinto sa Surrey (British Columbia) kasunod ng isang imbestigasyon na tumagal nang higit sa dalawang taon na iniuugnay ng mga imbestigador sa mga proyektong pabahay; ayon sa pulisya, 19 umano ang nag-ulat ng pagkalugi na umabot sa mahigit $3 milyon mula 2017 hanggang 2025. Sinabi ng abogado ni Dosanjh na si Joven Narwal na itinanggi ni Dosanjh ang anumang maling gawain at tinutulan ang departamento para imbestigahan ang isa sa sariling mga opisyal nito.

  2. 85-taong-gulang na lalaki sa Burnaby (British Columbia), Chang Yong Cho, napatay ng palutang-lutang na bala matapos tumanggap ng tawag tungkol sa pamamaril. Ayon sa Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), may natanggap na ulat ng pamamaril malapit sa 18th Avenue at Humphries Avenue mga bandang 1:30 a.m. noong 30 Agosto; natagpuan ng Burnaby RCMP si Mr. Cho sa kanyang apartment sa Kingsway mga 4 p.m. ng araw na iyon at idineklarang patay. Sinabi ng IHIT na na-identify na nila ang isang grupo ng kabataan na pinaniniwalaang sangkot o may alam, at inihihikayat nilang magtungo ang mga ito at ang kanilang mga magulang.

  3. Dalawang bahay sinunog sa iniwanang Sechelt Seawatch subdivision; ang mga crew ay makatutok na lamang sa pagmomonitor ng apoy. Nakapag-monitor na lang ng sunog ang mga bumbero nang nasunog ang dalawang bahay mga 10 a.m. noong Sabado sa Seawatch na kapitbahayan dahil ipinagbawal ang pagpasok sa lugar mula pa noong 2019 dahil sa pagliko ng lupa at mga sinkhole; ang 14 na ari-arian ng subdivision ay kasalukuyang nasa litigasyon at bumaba ang tinatayang halaga mula humigit-kumulang $1 milyon hanggang $2. Sinabi ng Deputy Fire Chief na si Stephen Akterberg na walang proteksyon sa tubig at limitado lamang sa pagsuri sa kaligtasan ng buhay ang pag-apula.

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Hindi pa inilalabas ng Metro Vancouver (regional government) ang detalye ng severance ni Jerry Dobrovolny; umabot sa higit $567,000 ang kabuuang sweldo niya noong nakaraang taon. Sinabi ng board chair na si Mike Hurley sa Global News na ilalabas ang detalye ng severance ngayong Martes, ngunit hindi sumagot ang Metro Vancouver sa mga kahilingan; ang sahod at benepisyo ni Dobrovolny ay umabot sa mahigit $567,000 noong nakaraang taon, at binabanggit ng mga kritiko ang pagtaas ng gastos sa North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant at mga alalahanin sa paglawak ng saklaw ng proyekto at kompensasyon ng ehekutibo. Humihiling ang mga kandidato at konsehal ng kalinawan sa gitna ng mga bulung-bulungan tungkol sa laki ng payout.

  2. Umalis sa karera para sa mayor ng Vancouver (British Columbia) si William Azaroff, iniwan si Pete Fry bilang nag-iisang progresibong kalaban. Ipinahayag ni Azaroff ang kanyang pag-alis sa isang press conference sa City Hall, na sinabi niyang natupad na ang kanyang OneCity pangako na magharap ng iisang progresibong kandidato; si Fry, isang Vancouver Green at konsehal mula pa 2018, ang ngayon progresibong alternatibo kay Mayor Ken Sim sa eleksyon ng Oktubre 17. Kasama rin sa karera sina Kareem Allam at Colleen Hardwick.

  3. Sinampahan ng kaso ng Telus (kompanyang telekomunikasyon) ang dating empleyado para sa halos $1.1 milyon dahil sa diumano’y maling paggamit ng company credit card. Naghain ang Telus ng notice of civil claim sa B.C. Supreme Court na nagsasabing bumili ang dating empleyado ng higit sa 2,500 item—mga gamit sa bahay at electronics—gamit ang company credit cards sa pamamagitan ng isang Amazon business account, na may kabuuang halaga na halos $1.1 milyon; ayon sa Telus, tinanggal ang empleyado nang may dahilan noong Agosto 13 at humihingi ang kompanya ng pagbabayad muli, gastos at danyos.

  4. Bumalik sa British Columbia ang balat ng "woolly dog" mula sa lugar ng Chilliwack para ilagay sa museo matapos humigit-kumulang 160 taon. Natanggap ng Museum of Anthropology sa UBC (Unibersidad ng British Columbia) ang nag-iisang natitirang woolly dog pelt, na sinasabing nagmula sa mga teritoryo ng Stó:lō malapit sa Chilliwack, bilang loan mula sa Smithsonian matapos humigit-kumulang 160 taon na nakatago; sinabi ng curator na si Jordan Wilson na ininspeksyon muna ng mga lokal na miyembro ng Coast Salish community at mga manlilihis ang balat bago ito ilabas sa publiko.
