  1. La province ordonne à Edmonton d'annuler son zonage d'infill; le maire de Calgary parle d'ingérence. Le gouvernement de l'Alberta a demandé à Edmonton de revenir sur des règles favorisant l'infill à densité plus élevée. Le bureau de la première ministre Danielle Smith a émis l'ordre jeudi, et le maire de Calgary Jeromy Farkas a déclaré aux journalistes vendredi que la mesure « menace la démocratie locale ». Farkas a averti que la directive pourrait créer un précédent d'ingérence provinciale dans les votes des conseils municipaux.
  2. Un juge rejette le recours du NPD contre les règles temporaires sur les listes électorales de l'Alberta. Le juge John Gill de la Cour du Banc du Roi a jugé que le gouvernement Smith avait légalement limité les renseignements sur les listes d'électeurs fournis aux partis à titre de « mesure temporaire », précisant qu'une loi est prévue cet automne et que les partis peuvent toujours utiliser des panneaux d'affichage ou les réseaux sociaux; le jugement a été rendu jeudi.
  3. Pierre Poilievre doit prononcer un discours à Calgary le 16 octobre sur l'unité canadienne avant le référendum. Poilievre doit être le conférencier principal du rassemblement du Canada Strong and Free Network et la première ministre Danielle Smith ainsi que Jason Kenney y seront aussi; il a indiqué qu'il fera « du travail de terrain » supplémentaire en Alberta pendant le long congé de l'Action de grâce.
  4. Sept panneaux de référendum vandalisés à Fort McMurray; la GRC enquête. La GRC de Wood Buffalo a signalé que sept panneaux "Let Alberta Decide" ont été peints à la bombe entre le 29 septembre et le 4 octobre; Élections Alberta avait approuvé 11 panneaux pour la communauté et la police rappelle que la destruction de panneaux électoraux constitue une infraction criminelle.
  5. Deloitte : les profits du secteur pétrolier dépassent pour l'instant les dépenses en capital. Un rapport de Deloitte cité dans les informations montre que les bénéfices de l'industrie pétrolière devancent les dépenses d'investissement cette année, une tendance mise en évidence pour le secteur de l'énergie de l'Alberta.

  1. Les Stampeders peuvent assurer une place en séries samedi contre Winnipeg. Calgary (8-8) se rend chez les Winnipeg Blue Bombers (7-8) pour la semaine 19 au Princess Auto Stadium; une victoire des Stampeders leur garantirait une place en séries tandis que Winnipeg a besoin d'un gain pour améliorer ses chances de participer aux éliminatoires.
  2. Les Elks battent les Tiger-Cats 27-12; Edmonton obtient une partie local des séries. Edmonton a amélioré son dossier à 12-4 grâce à des touchés en quatrième quart de Zach Mathis, Cody Fajardo et ShunDerrick Powell; Hamilton tombe à 5-12 et est éliminé de la course aux séries.
