25 articulos hace 1 hora 10

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Un informe indica que la separación de Alberta podría costar hasta 170.000 millones de dólares canadienses en los primeros cinco años. Un informe de la School of Public Policy de la University of Calgary (centro académico de políticas públicas) encargado por el gobierno de Alberta (provincia de Alberta) estima costos de separación que van de 50.000 millones a 170.000 millones de dólares canadienses en los primeros cinco años y advierte que un escenario “difícil” podría recortar el PIB en 10,1% y reducir el salario típico de un trabajador en alrededor de 5.500 dólares en cinco años.

  2. Preston Manning dice que las encuestas etiquetan erróneamente a Danielle Smith como separatista. Preston Manning (fundador del movimiento Reform) dijo a reporteros que está “perplejo” porque encuestas en Ontario muestran que cerca del 60% de los votantes considera a la primera ministra Danielle Smith (premier de Alberta) una separatista; Manning planea organizar un foro virtual “Alberta y el Oeste” a partir del sábado, donde Smith hablará sobre la soberanía provincial.

  3. La policía advierte de al menos 20 robos por distracción dirigidos a mujeres mayores de origen surasiático desde el 19 de agosto. Edmonton Police Service (servicio de policía de Edmonton) informa que ladrones circulan por vecindarios, entablan conversación con las personas mayores y en ocasiones les quitan joyas por la fuerza; los investigadores clasifican los incidentes recientes como robos en lugar de hurtos porque se usó fuerza o amenazas, y hasta ahora no se han reportado heridas graves.

  4. Mujer de Sherwood Park donó parte de su hígado y luego un riñón a extraños y amigos. Meghan Rozema donó parte de su hígado en 2021 a un lactante y luego planeó una donación de riñón tras una espera de dos años; Rozema dijo a Global News (medio informativo Global News) que contactó por primera vez a Give Life Alberta (organización de donación en vida) en 2018 sobre donación en vida y le indicaron que podía donar tejido hepático antes de donar un riñón.

  5. Conductores de Edmonton vieron precios cerca de 1,81/L después de que una refinería de Illinois perdiera la energía. Global News informa que los surtidores subieron hasta 0,30 en algunos lugares, con estaciones en Edmonton alrededor de 1,81/L y en Calgary alrededor de 1,84/L luego de que la refinería Exxon Mobil Joliet (refinería Joliet de Exxon Mobil) perdiera energía; Dan McTeague de Canadians for Affordable Energy (Canadians for Affordable Energy, grupo defensor del combustible asequible) estimó que la falla añadió aproximadamente 0,18/L a la gasolina y 0,24–0,25/L al diésel.

🏈 Deportes

  1. El campamento de entrenamiento de los Oilers comienza en medio de la controversia por la firma de Alex Formenton y la contratación de Mike Babcock. Los Edmonton Oilers (equipo Edmonton Oilers) firmaron a Alex Formenton con un contrato de un año por 850.000 dólares estadounidenses y nombraron a Mike Babcock (entrenador) como director técnico en junio; el gerente general Stan Bowman (gerente general) dijo que el club realizó la debida diligencia legal y reconoció una petición con más de 60.000 firmas y acciones de protesta previstas antes del primer partido en casa.

  2. Ottawa (0-12) visita Calgary mientras McLeod Bethel-Thompson hace su primera titularidad; los Stampeders (5-8) necesitan urgentemente victorias. El partido de la CFL destaca la racha de 18 derrotas consecutivas de Ottawa que se remonta a 2025 y la posición de Calgary en el quinto lugar del Oeste, cuatro puntos detrás del tercer puesto que ocupan Winnipeg (7-6) y B.C. (7-6), con Calgary necesitando terminar entre los tres primeros o obtener una ventaja de puntos sobre el tercer equipo del Este para clasificar a los playoffs.
