🏛️ Gobyerno at Pulitika

  1. Inaprubahan ng konseho ang Green Line sa ibabaw ng 10 Avenue S.W., boto 12–2. Binaril ng city council ang ruta ng Green Line sa kalye sa 10 Avenue S.W., na magtatapos sa pagitan ng 1 at 2 Street S.W.; inaasahang may 41,000 pasahero araw-araw ang alignment at may tinatayang halagang 850 milyong dolyar ng Canada, ang tanging opsiyon na kasya sa kasalukuyang badyet ng proyekto, ayon kay Mayor Jeromy Farkas.

  2. Mahigit 610,000 ang humiling ng mail-in ballot para sa halalan-hanusang referendum ng Alberta sa Okt. 19. Nag-ulat ang Elections Alberta ng higit 610,000 na aplikasyon para sa special mail-in ballot, tumaas ng humigit-kumulang 90,000 mula noong nakaraang Biyernes; kailangan ibalik ng mga nag-apply ang balota bago Okt. 16, 5 p.m., at sinabi ng Elections Alberta na kumuha ito ng mahigit 28,000 kawani at nakatanggap na ng halos 52,000 aplikasyon para sa iba pang posisyon.

  3. Fact check: Sinisiyasat ng Elections Alberta ang mga aplikasyon at kailangan ng ID. Sinabi ng Elections Alberta sa mga mamamahayag na kino-kontrol nito ang mga aplikasyon ng special-ballot laban sa voter-registration system nito at humihingi ng katibayan ng pagkakakilanlan bago pahintulutang bumoto sa referendum, bilang tugon sa mga viral na pahayag sa social media na maaaring mag-apply ang hindi-Albertan nang walang beripikasyon.

  4. Tagapangasiwa ng Foreign Influence nagbabanggit ng posibleng papasok na panghihimasok bago ang referendum sa Okt. 19. Sinabi ni Commissioner Anton Boegman na ang kanyang tanggapan ay "alam ang ilang mga alalahanin" at kusang-loob na nakipag-ugnayan sa mga tao at organisasyon; kasalukuyang may dalawang pangalan sa Foreign Influence registry, at ang mga deadline sa pagpaparehistro ay Okt. 3 para sa matagal nang ugnayan at loob ng dalawang linggo para sa mga kasunduan na sinimulan pagkatapos ng 4 Agosto 2026.

  5. Ipinapatupad ng Northwest Territories ang permanenteng oras buong taon, katulad na ngayon ng Alberta. Panatilihin ng gobyerno ng N.W.T. ang "Northwest Territories time" buong taon kaya hindi na ibabalik ang mga orasan sa Nob. 1, at magkakaroon na ngayon ng parehong oras ang teritoryo at Alberta at Saskatchewan, matapos ang isang 2022 survey na nilahukan ng higit 3,500 residente at 87% ang pabor sa pagtatapos ng seasonal na pagbabago ng orasan.

  1. B.C. Lions bibisita sa Riders sa mahalagang CFL game ng West Division ngayong Biyernes; B.C. 7–6. Nanalo ang Lions (7–6) ng anim sa huling pito nilang laro at magho-host ng Saskatchewan (8–5) para sa ikalawang pwesto sa West Division; nangunguna ang B.C. sa CFL sa net yards (427.7 bawat laro) at rushing (121.3 bawat laro), habang si Nathan Rourke ay nasa ikalima sa passing yards na may 3,476 yards ngayong season.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Pag-usapan sa U.S. ang pansamantalang pagbabawal sa diesel export — babaan ang suplay, babangon ang presyo ayon sa mga eksperto. May mga ulat na tinitingnan ng Estados Unidos ang posibleng 90-araw na pagbabawal sa pag-export ng diesel; tinukoy ng AAA ang rekord na presyo ng diesel sa US$6.5107 kada galon, at binanggit ng ulat na lagpas 2 dolyar ng Canada kada litro ang presyo ng diesel sa Canada noong paglathala.

  2. Mga istatistika ng opensa ng B.C. Lions nagpapakita ng epekto sa pagbiyahe at demand ng ticket sa karera para sa titulo ng CFL. Nangunguna ang opensa ng B.C. sa oras ng pagmamay-ari ng bola (31:44 bawat laro) at nasa ikalawa sa passing (322.5 yards bawat laro), mga detalye na ginagawang mahalaga ang Biyernes na laro laban sa Saskatchewan para sa ikalawang puwesto at tiebreaker sa season series.
