49 篇文章 2 小时前 16

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. 十月两场选举让候选人和选民困惑。 不列颠哥伦比亚省现在在10月17日有市政选举、10月24日有省级选举,原因是新民主党(NDP)领袖大卫·艾比在地方竞选已开展时叫停宣布了省选;不列颠哥伦比亚市政联盟主席杰娜·斯托纳和普林斯乔治市议会候选人科里·拉姆齐表示,他们听到选民把两个不同日期混为一谈。

  2. 本周竞选聚焦医疗、老人和制造业。 新民主党领袖大卫·艾比承诺新增20家初级护理诊所、加速国际医学院毕业生执业审批并新增1,000个医疗培训名额;不列颠哥伦比亚保守党(BC Conservative)领袖洛恩·多克森承诺撤销物业税延期的变更并兴建长期护理床位,中部卑诗(CentreBC)领袖埃琳娜·斯图尔科在推出党派时宣布36名候选人并提出制造业振兴计划。

  3. 若继续执政,新民主党承诺对基本ICBC费率实行三年冻结。 大卫·艾比在列治文的竞选活动中宣布,将通过不列颠哥伦比亚保险局对省内基本车险费率实行为期三年的冻结,同时围绕2021年无过错模式及保守党提出的混合替代方案继续展开辩论;相关言论也出现在MoveUp工会的材料中。

  4. 维多利亚—灯塔山(Victoria-Beacon Hill)候选人乔阿希姆·阿古为社交媒体帖子道歉,失去保守党提名。 阿古承认对包括冷漠评论一辆车冲过抗议现场以及侮辱巴基斯坦的网络迷因在内的帖子负责;临时保守党领袖洛恩·多克森表示,若阿古当选他不会加入党团,党已撤回对他的背书。

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. 素里(Surrey)的一起杀人案审判继续,IHIT调查员出庭作证。 综合凶杀调查组(Integrated Homicide Investigation Team)警员瑞安·格林林斯基在庭上作证,称在案发当晚11:40抵达托里·邓恩位于波特凯尔斯的住处,凌晨3:20扣押了衣物证物,并在邻近地段发现一把血迹厨师刀。被告亚当·曼已对二级谋杀罪表示不认罪。

  2. 对杀童犯肖恩·厄特默德被批准短期离监引发了修改规定的政治压力。 厄特默德因2000年性侵并杀害10岁海瑟·托马斯被判无期徒刑,他曾获准为参加烹饪课程的60天无陪同临时离监,但该离监后来被推迟;海瑟的母亲与保守党议员弗兰克·卡普托会面,要求修改临时离监规定并将释放决定的举证责任倒置。

  3. 一家催收公司因骚扰借款人在卑诗被罚34,000元。 省级裁决认定该催收公司误导并骚扰借款人,裁定对其罚款34,000元,并详述了针对该省催收行为的执法行动。

💼 Economy & Business

  1. 西区深受喜爱的酒吧贝赛德酒廊将在47年后关门,称成本上升所致。 贝赛德酒廊宣布将在运营47年后关门,员工和经理达妮卡·沃克表示震惊,社区请愿书将原因指向租金上涨和重建压力;酒吧在公开帖文中邀请顾客“来喝最后一杯”。

  2. 省府月度数据称卑诗9月份净减少20,000个就业岗位。 本周发布的劳工统计显示9月净就业减少20,000个岗位,省内劳动力市场持续承压,政党在选举期间围绕税收和就业政策展开辩论。

🏥 Health

  1. 本周出现了带有具体数字承诺的医疗政策。 大卫·艾比的竞选纲领承诺新增20家初级护理诊所、加速国际医学院毕业生的执业许可并增加1,000个医疗培训名额;保守党和中部卑诗的替代方案则侧重增加长期护理床位和支持老年人,这些内容在省选前的竞选活动中提出。

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. 奥肯那根(Okanagan)果农称联邦农作物保险无法跟上气候带来的损失。 葡萄种植者卡奈尔·辛格·西杜报告称本季约15吨葡萄受野火烟雾影响受损,他告诉研究者当前的农作物保险赔付无法反映气候性损失的真实成本,省内种植者警告保险需改革以覆盖烟熏污染和极端天气损害。

  2. 社区发起请愿试图保住贝赛德酒廊,房东在考虑续租决策。 贝赛德公布关门消息后,常客与音乐人发起请愿,要求大楼业主重新考虑租约,旨在展示社区支持这一有47年历史的西区场地继续营业。

🏈 Sports

  1. 永久实行夏令时导致西部加拿大球迷看NHL比赛更晚开赛。 卑诗、艾伯塔和曼尼托巴保持夏令时不调时钟,意味着温哥华加人(Vancouver Canucks)等队的一些比赛将在当地时间晚9点开球,卡尔加里烈焰(Calgary Flames)安排了包括12月26日和1月16日在内的八场晚9点开球,NHL的赛程变化与各省时钟政策有关。
