🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Probinsya inutusan ang Edmonton na ibalik ang dating infill zoning rules. Inihayag ni Mayor Andrew Knack na nag-utos ang gobyerno ni Premier Danielle Smith noong Huwebes na pawalang-bisahin ang mga patakarang naglalayong payagan ang mas mataas na density ng pabahay sa mga matatagal nang kapitbahayan. Nagulat si Knack at nagbabala na maaapektuhan nito ang mga pagpipilian sa pabahay at pamumuhunan. Tinawag naman ng Mayor ng Calgary na si Jeromy Farkas ang hakbang bilang isang mapanganib na presedente para sa impluwensya ng probinsya sa mga konseho ng lungsod.

  2. Hukom tinanggihan ang hamon ng NDP sa pansamantalang panuntunan sa listahan ng botante ng Alberta. Ipinanatili ni Court of King’s Bench Justice John Gill ang regulasyon ng pamahalaang UCP noong Setyembre na naglilimita sa anong detalye ng listahan ng botante ang matatanggap ng mga partido, sinasabing pansamantalang hakbang ito hanggang sa magkabisa ang batas sa taglagas. Binanggit din sa hatol noong Huwebes na maaari pa ring gumamit ang mga partido ng billboards, social media at ang detalyadong listahan mula noong nakaraang taon.

  3. Si Pierre Poilievre magtatanghal sa Alberta ilang araw bago ang reperendum sa Okt. 19. Magbibigay ang pinuno ng federal Conservative ng keynote na may pamagat na “The Canadian Drift” sa kumperensya ng Canada Strong and Free Network sa Calgary sa 16 Oktubre, at magsasagawa rin siya ng dagdag na kampanya sa Alberta, ayon sa mga organizer. Nakaschedule din sina Premier Danielle Smith at Jason Kenney bilang mga tagapagsalita.

  4. Isang patay at mahigit 400 na kumpirmadong kaso ng trangkaso sa Alberta bago maglabas ng bakuna. Nag-ulat ang Alberta ng higit sa 400 kumpirmadong kaso ng influenza at isang pagkamatay habang naghahanda ang mga health official para sa pamamahagi ng bakuna, na inilabas ang ulat bago ang pampublikong availability ng bakuna ngayong season.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Kompanya nagmungkahi ng AI data centre sa Edmonton Energy and Technology Park. Nag-file ang isang pribadong kumpanya ng plano para magtayo ng data centre na naka-focus sa AI sa site ng lungsod na Energy and Technology Park; lumitaw ang mga detalye ng kumpanya at proyekto sa rehiyonal na mga filing, na nagpapahiwatig ng posibleng lokal na pamumuhunan sa digital infrastructure sa parke.

  2. Kita ng oilpatch mas mataas kaysa ginagastos, ayon sa Deloitte. Iniulat ng Deloitte na malaki ang naiipong kita ng industriya ng langis kumpara sa kasalukuyang antas ng capital spending, isang dinamika na tinalakay sa pinakabagong pagsusuri ng firm sa pinansyal na kalagayan ng sektor ng enerhiya.

🏈 Sports

  1. Elks nakaseguro ng home playoff game matapos magwagi ng 27-12 laban sa Hamilton. Bumuti ang rekord ng Edmonton sa 12-4 matapos ang panalo noong Biyernes sa Hamilton, na pinatingkad ng 48-yard interception return ni Zach Mathis at mga touchdown sa ikaapat na kuwarter nina Cody Fajardo at ShunDerrick Powell; si Vincent Blanchard naman ay naka-kick ng ilang field goal nang maaga sa laro.

  2. Winnipeg nasa playoff crunch laban sa Calgary habang babalik si Zach Collaros. Haharapin ng Blue Bombers (7-8) ang Stampeders (8-8) sa Sabado; puwedeng makaseguro ng playoff spot ang Calgary kung mananalo, at inaasahan ng Winnipeg na babalik ang beteranong QB na si Zach Collaros matapos ang pagliban dahil sa head injury.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Bumalik sa Alberta ang “Baby Jose” halos 30 taon matapos ang life-saving heart surgery. Si Jose Moran Robles, ipinanganak sa Panama noong 1996 na may Down syndrome at atrioventricular septal defect, bumalik ngayong linggo para magpasalamat sa medical team sa Edmonton at sa Inclusion Alberta na tumulong dalhin siya sa hilaga para sa operasyon noong huling bahagi ng 1990s.

  2. Cold Lake First Nations humihiling ng judicial review sa designation ng Pacific Link pipeline. Nag-file ang Cold Lake First Nations para sa judicial review na kumukwestiyon sa designation ng Pacific Link pipeline corridor, idinidiin ang mga alalahanin tungkol sa konsultasyon at ang pederal na desisyon na aprubahan ang corridor.
