Victoria en elección complementaria, informe sobre costo de la separación y Stampeders vs Redblacks — Miércoles en Calgary

21 articulos hace 1 hora 11

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. El NDP de Alberta ganó un escaño de la UCP en Calgary en una elección complementaria reciente. El análisis posterior al voto señala al separatismo en Alberta y a la visión del NDP como razones clave del sorpresón, con mensajes de campaña locales que contrastaron a los partidos en torno a la unidad provincial y las posiciones políticas.
  2. Un informe de la Escuela de Políticas Públicas de la University of Calgary dice que la separación podría costar hasta 170,000 millones. El estudio encargado por el gobierno estima costos a corto plazo de entre 50,000 millones y 170,000 millones durante los primeros cinco años y advierte que una separación “difícil” podría reducir el PIB en alrededor de 10.1% en ese mismo plazo.
  3. La gasolina subió hasta 0.30 en las estaciones; en Calgary los precios llegaron a 1.84 por litro. Analistas atribuyen el pico a una falla eléctrica en la refinería de ExxonMobil en Joliet, Illinois, que perdió energía el domingo y siguió sin operar hasta el martes, mientras que se estima que el diésel subió entre 0.24 y 0.25 por litro.
  4. La policía de Edmonton reporta al menos 20 robos estilo "distracción" desde el 19 de agosto dirigidos a mujeres mayores de origen del sur de Asia. Los investigadores dicen que los sospechosos recorren zonas residenciales, entablan conversación con mujeres mayores y en algunos casos les arrebatan las joyas por la fuerza; la policía trata varios expedientes como robos y no simples hurtos.
  5. Meghan Rozema, de Sherwood Park, donó parte de su hígado en 2021 y luego intentó donar un riñón. Rozema dijo a Global News que su donación de hígado en 2021 fue para un bebé que probablemente necesitaba el órgano para llegar al primer cumpleaños, y que la donación de riñón planeada para un amigo de la familia se pospuso dos años antes de que el amigo falleciera.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Los Calgary Stampeders (5-8) necesitan victorias con urgencia cuando visiten los Ottawa Redblacks (0-12). Ottawa alineará a McLeod Bethel-Thompson para su primera titularidad de la temporada contra Calgary el sábado; Calgary está cuatro puntos por detrás de los equipos en tercer puesto de la División Oeste y tiene un tramo de octubre que decidirá sus opciones de playoffs.
  2. El campamento de entrenamiento de los Edmonton Oilers abre en medio de la controversia por la contratación de Alex Formenton y de Mike Babcock. Formenton firmó un contrato por un año por 850,000 dólares estadounidenses tras ser absuelto de cargos de 2018, y según reportes una petición contra la firma reúne más de 60,000 firmas antes de una protesta prevista en Rogers Place.
