🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Le premier ministre Mark Carney appelle les Albertains à voter pour rester au Canada lors d’un rassemblement d’environ 5 000 personnes à Calgary. Carney a déclaré au rassemblement Forever Canadian jeudi soir que les enjeux sont élevés et a appelé à un résultat net lors du référendum du lundi 19 octobre portant sur la question de savoir si l’Alberta doit demeurer dans la Confédération ou lancer un vote contraignant sur la séparation.
  2. L’ancien directeur général des élections Glen Resler affirme que les règles de vote par correspondance l’ont effectivement empêché de voter avant le référendum du 19 octobre. Resler affirme qu’on lui a refusé la remise en personne de son bulletin spécial et que la loi provinciale n’autorise les bulletins spéciaux que par la poste, une règle qu’il estime qu’Elections Alberta devrait revoir après avoir manqué la fenêtre de livraison garantie de Postes Canada.
  3. Vérification des faits : Elections Alberta a limité le nombre d’observateurs pour des raisons d’espace, pas pour exclure délibérément. Elections Alberta a reconnu des contraintes et des experts ont indiqué à The Canadian Press que le plafond d’observateurs reflète des limites logistiques plutôt qu’une tentative coordonnée d’exclure des partisans de la séparation avant le référendum de lundi.
  4. Plus de 174 530 Albertains ont voté au référendum le premier jour des bureaux de vote anticipé. Les chiffres électoraux montrent que 174 530 électeurs ont utilisé le vote anticipé le premier jour, donnant de l’ampleur à la participation avant le scrutin du 19 octobre.

🏈 Sports

  1. George Hopkins, responsable de l’équipement des Calgary Stampeders, prendra sa retraite après 55 ans avec l’équipe. Le Calgarien de 67 ans mettra fin à sa carrière de responsable de l’équipement à la fin de la saison de la CFL, restera ambassadeur et assurera son 1 094e match ce samedi au McMahon Stadium.
  2. Les Stampeders (8-9) ont encore besoin d’aide pour atteindre les séries; une victoire samedi ne suffit pas pour se qualifier. Calgary rend visite à B.C. (10-6) samedi et pourrait être éliminé de la course aux séries si les bris d’égalité les placent cinquièmes; les Stampeders ne contrôlent ni leur qualification ni leur élimination avec ce seul résultat.
