23 artikulo 2 oras ang nakalipas 13

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Tatlo patay at hindi bababa sa 16 sugatan sa nagliyab na sunod-sunod na banggaan sa Saddletowne Circle N.E. Ang banggaan bandang 1 p.m. ay kinasasangkutan ng walong sasakyan kabilang ang dalawang City of Calgary buses, isa pinapagana ng LNG (likidong natural gas), at nag-iwan ng 19 na tao na patay o nasaktan; inidentipika ng pulisya ang tatlong nasawi sa nasusunog na bus at sinabi na 10 nasugatan ang dinala sa ospital, kabilang ang isa na may malubhang pinsalang magbabago ng buhay.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Hinihikayat ni Prime Minister Mark Carney ang mga Albertan na bumoto para manatili sa Canada sa rally sa Calgary na tinatayang may 5,000 katao. Sinabi ni Carney sa Forever Canadian rally Huwebes ng gabi na mataas ang nakataya at nanawagan siya para sa isang tiyak na resulta sa Lunes na referendum kung dapat bang manatili ang Alberta sa Confederation o magpatuloy sa isang binding na boto para sa paghihiwalay.
  2. Sabi ng dating chief electoral officer na si Glen Resler ay epektibong na-disqualify ng mga patakaran sa mail-in bago ang referendum sa Okt. 19. Ayon kay Resler, hindi siya pinayagang ihatid nang personal ang kanyang special ballot at nagpapahintulot ang batas panlalawigan ng mga special ballot lamang sa pamamagitan ng koreo, isang panuntunan na ayon sa kanya dapat muling isaalang-alang ng Elections Alberta matapos niyang hindi maabot ang garantisadong delivery window ng Canada Post.
  3. Fact check: nilimitahan ng Elections Alberta ang mga scrutineer dahil sa puwang, hindi dahil sa sinadyang pagbubukod. Inamin ng Elections Alberta ang mga limitasyon at sinabi ng mga eksperto sa The Canadian Press na ang capped na bilang ng scrutineer ay sumasalamin sa lohistikal na hangganan kaysa sa isang koordinadong pagtatangka na i-exclude ang mga tagasuporta ng paghihiwalay bago ang referendum sa Lunes.
  4. Mahigit 174,530 Albertan ang bumoto sa referendum sa unang araw ng advance polls. Ipinapakita ng mga bilang ng Elections na 174,530 botante ang gumamit ng advance polling sa unang araw, na nagpapakita ng laki ng turnout bago ang botohan sa Okt. 19.

🏈 Sports

  1. Magpapaalam bilang equipment manager ang 67 anyos na Calgarian na si George Hopkins matapos ang 55 taon sa Calgary Stampeders. Tatapusin ng Hopkins ang kanyang karera bilang equipment manager pagkatapos ng CFL season, mananatili bilang ambassador, at iikot niya ang kanyang ika-1,094 na laro ngayong Sabado sa McMahon Stadium.
  2. Kailangan pa ng tulong ng Stampeders (8-9) para makapasok sa CFL playoffs; hindi pa sila makakasecure kahit panalo sa Sabado. Bibisita ang Calgary sa B.C. (10-6) ngayong Sabado at maaari silang ma-eliminate sa playoff contention kung ang tiebreaker ang maglalagay sa kanila sa fifth; wala sa kamay ng Stampeders ang clinch o elimination batay sa resulta na iyon.
