🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. La provincia ordena a Edmonton revertir normas de rezonificación para densificación. El gobierno de la premier Danielle Smith dirigió el jueves a la ciudad de Edmonton a anular reglas diseñadas para permitir viviendas de mayor densidad en vecindarios ya establecidos, dijo el alcalde Andrew Knack; él manifestó sorpresa y advirtió que la medida afectará las opciones de vivienda y la inversión. El alcalde de Calgary, Jeromy Farkas, calificó la decisión como un precedente peligroso de la influencia provincial sobre los ayuntamientos.

  2. Juez rechaza el recurso del NDP contra reglas temporales sobre listas de votantes en Alberta. El juez John Gill de la Court of King’s Bench (Corte del Rey) confirmó la regulación de septiembre del gobierno del UCP (United Conservative Party) que limita qué detalles de las listas de votantes reciben los partidos, calificándola como una solución temporal hasta la legislación prevista para el otoño; la sentencia señala que los partidos aún pueden usar cartelería, redes sociales y la lista detallada del año pasado.

  3. Pierre Poilievre hablará en Alberta días antes del referéndum del 19 de octubre. El líder conservador federal dará la conferencia magistral titulada “The Canadian Drift” en la conferencia de Canada Strong and Free Network (red conservadora canadiense) en Calgary el 16 de octubre, y también hará campaña adicional en terreno en Alberta, según los organizadores. En la programación figuran además la premier Danielle Smith y Jason Kenney.

  4. Un muerto y más de 400 casos de influenza confirmados en Alberta antes de la disponibilidad de la vacuna.

  1. Empresa propone centro de datos de IA en el Energy and Technology Park de Edmonton. Una firma privada presentó planes para construir un centro de datos enfocado en inteligencia artificial en el sitio del Energy and Technology Park (parque de energía y tecnología) de la ciudad; los detalles de la empresa y del proyecto aparecieron en expedientes regionales, lo que sugiere inversión local potencial en infraestructura digital en el parque.

  2. Las ganancias del sector petrolero superan el gasto de capital, dice Deloitte.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Los Elks aseguran un partido de playoff en casa con victoria 27-12 sobre Hamilton. Edmonton mejoró a 12-4 tras la victoria del viernes en Hamilton, destacada por un retorno de intercepción de 48 yardas de Zach Mathis y anotaciones en el cuarto cuarto de Cody Fajardo y ShunDerrick Powell; Vincent Blanchard había convertido antes varios goles de campo.

  2. Winnipeg enfrenta una prueba de playoffs contra Calgary con el regreso de Zach Collaros.

  1. “Bebé José” regresa a Alberta casi 30 años después de una cirugía cardíaca que le salvó la vida.
