🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Pinirmahan ng Oilers si Alex Formenton sa kabila ng malawakang pagtutol sa lokalidad. Ang 26 anyos ay pumirma ng isang taong kontrata na nagkakahalaga ng 850,000 dolyar ng Canada noong Setyembre 9 matapos ang tatlong season sa Switzerland kasama ang HC Ambri‑Piotta; siya ay napatunayang hindi nagkasala noong Hulyo 2025 sa mga kasong pag‑atake sa sekswal mula sa isang gala ng Hockey Canada noong 2018. Nagbunsod ang paglagda ng isang petisyon na may halos 70,000 lagda at mga protesta ng Sabado sa labas ng Rogers Place, habang sinabing ibinalik ang kanyang karapatan at sumailalim sa isang “mahabang proseso ng due diligence” ang Oilers.

🏈 Sports

  1. Nilalayon ni Tristan Jarry na bumawi bilang No. 1 goalie ng Oilers. Si Jarry, na nakuha noong Disyembre 12 noong nakaraang season, ay naglaro ng 19 na laro para sa Edmonton noong 2025‑26 na may rekord na 9-6-2 at magsisimula sa opener ng season sa Setyembre 29 habang nagpapagaling si Frederik Andersen mula sa pinsalang tuhod na inaasahang magpapananatili sa kanya sa gilid hanggang huling bahagi ng Oktubre. Nagpanatili ang Oilers ng pitong goalie sa kampo at nagdagdag kay Devon Levi sa isang off‑season trade mula sa Buffalo; may 39 na laro sa NHL si Levi.

  2. Talo ang Edmonton Elks, 24-19 kontra Toronto; clinch ng Argonauts para sa playoffs. Natalo ang Elks ng 24-19 nitong Sabado nang magtapon si Chad Kelly ng dalawang touchdown pass na nagtulak sa Toronto Argonauts sa post‑season; umangat ang Toronto at magsisimula ng playoffs sa BMO Field habang nagtapos si Kelly ng 19‑of‑31 para sa 373 yard. Iniwan ng pagkatalo ang Elks na wala sa posisyon para mag‑clinch; naka‑set na ang Toronto para sa playoffs matapos talunin ng Montreal ang Hamilton nang 37-25 noong Biyernes.

  3. Pinabagsak ng Calgary Stampeders ang Ottawa, 40-38, dahil sa 62‑yard field goal. Tumama si Rene Paredes ng career‑long na 62‑yard field goal na may dalawang segundo na lang ang natitira para ibigay ang 40-38 panalo sa Calgary nitong Sabado; umangat ang Calgary sa 6-8 habang bumagsak ang Ottawa sa 0-13, na naging pangalawang koponan sa CFL na nagsimula ng 13 sunod‑sunod na pagkatalo. Nagtapon si McLeod Bethel‑Thompson ng limang touchdown pass para sa Ottawa ngunit natalo pa rin sila sa McMahon Stadium ng Calgary.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Kulang ng Elections Alberta sa ilalim ng kalahati ng target na 60,000 referendum workers. Iniulat ng Elections Alberta na nakapagrekrut lamang ito ng mas mababa sa kalahati ng 60,000 election workers na kailangan nila para sa referendum sa Oktubre 19, na nag-iiwan ng puwang habang inihahanda ng probinsya ang lohistika para sa advance at election‑day voting. Nagdudulot ng pagdududa tungkol sa staffing sa mga lokal na advance poll at returning office sa buong lalawigan ang kakulangan.

  2. Pansamantalang binago ng Alberta ang mga patakaran sa voter‑list bago ang Oktubre 19 referendum. Nagpatupad ang pamahalaang panlalawigan nitong buwan ng pansamantalang pagbabago sa mga tuntunin ng voter‑list para padaliin ang beripikasyon ng residency at pagiging karapatdapat ng botante para sa referendum, na nag‑udyok sa NDP na hayagang ipahayag ang kanilang mga pag-aalala. Nalalapat lamang ang mga pagbabago sa administrasyon ng nalalapit na referendum at hindi binabago ang permanenteng batas ng eleksyon.

  3. Nanawagan si Premier Danielle Smith sa mga Albertan na manatili sa Canada sa isang online na forum. Sa isang virtual na pagtitipon na co‑host nina Preston Manning at Gordon Campbell, sinabi ni Premier Smith nitong Sabado ang mga hinaing laban sa pederal na pamahalaan at inihayag na tinawag niya ang isang referendum para sa Oktubre 19 na maaaring maglaman ng tanong tungkol sa pagsisikap na maghiwalay; tinalakay din niya ang mga presyur sa kakayahang bumili para sa mga magsasaka at kabataang pamilya sa kanyang mga pahayag.
