23 articulos hace 2 horas 11

🚑 Últimas y sucesos

  1. Tres muertos y al menos 16 heridos en choque en cadena incendiario en Saddletowne Circle N.E. La colisión, poco después de la 1 p. m., involucró ocho vehículos, incluidos dos autobuses de City of Calgary, uno alimentado con GNL, y dejó 19 personas muertas o lesionadas; la policía identificó tres víctimas fatales en el autobús en llamas y dijo que 10 heridos fueron trasladados al hospital, entre ellos uno con lesiones que cambiarán su vida.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. El primer ministro Mark Carney pide a los habitantes de Alberta votar por quedarse en Canadá en un mitin en Calgary con unas 5,000 personas. Carney dijo en el mitin Forever Canadian el jueves por la noche que está en juego mucho y pidió un resultado decisivo en el referéndum del lunes sobre si Alberta debe permanecer en la Confederación o impulsar una votación vinculante por la separación.
  2. El exjefe electoral Glen Resler afirma que las reglas de voto por correo lo despojaron efectivamente de su derecho antes del referéndum del 19 de octubre. Resler dice que le impidieron entregar su boleta especial en persona y que la ley provincial permite boletas especiales solo por correo, una norma que, según él, Elections Alberta debería reconsiderar después de que perdiera la ventana de entrega garantizada de Canada Post.
  3. Verificación de hechos concluye que Elections Alberta limitó el número de escrutadores por falta de espacio, no por exclusión deliberada. Elections Alberta reconoció las limitaciones y expertos dijeron a The Canadian Press que el tope de escrutadores refleja límites logísticos más que un intento coordinado de excluir a partidarios de la separación antes del referéndum del lunes.
  4. Más de 174,530 habitantes de Alberta emitieron boletas en el primer día de votación anticipada. Las cifras electorales muestran que 174,530 votantes usaron las urnas adelantadas en el primer día, lo que da dimensión a la participación de cara a la votación del 19 de octubre.

🏈 Deportes

  1. El encargado de equipamiento de los Calgary Stampeders, George Hopkins, se retirará tras 55 años con el equipo. El calgariano de 67 años terminará su carrera como encargado de equipamiento después de la temporada de la CFL, permanecerá como embajador y trabajará su partido número 1,094 este sábado en el estadio McMahon.
  2. Los Stampeders (8-9) aún necesitan ayuda para alcanzar los playoffs de la CFL; no pueden asegurarlo con una victoria el sábado. Calgary visita a B.C. (10-6) el sábado y podría quedar eliminado de la contención por los playoffs si los criterios de desempate los dejan en quinto lugar; con ese resultado, los Stampeders no controlarían ni su clasificación ni su eliminación.
