🚑 Últimas noticias e incidentes

  1. Padre joven muere tras choque de motocicleta contra una parada de autobús en Edmonton (Alberta). Un hombre de 21 años, Anjrel Standinghorn‑Morin, falleció después de que una motocicleta que circulaba hacia el norte por la calle 97 perdiera el control y golpeara una parada de autobús cerca de la avenida 120 poco antes de las 21:00; su pareja Alicia y su hijo de 10 meses fueron trasladados al hospital con heridas graves y el lactante permanece en condición potencialmente mortal. El conductor de la motocicleta, de 18 años, también fue hospitalizado con lesiones que no ponen en riesgo su vida.
  2. Tres muertos y 16 heridos en choque en cadena y en llamas en Calgary (Alberta). La policía de Calgary informó que una colisión múltiple pasada la 13:00 en Saddletowne Circle N.E. involucró ocho vehículos, incluidos dos autobuses de Calgary Transit (uno alimentado por GNL); tres personas que estaban en el autobús en llamas murieron y 10 de los 19 heridos fueron llevados al hospital, uno con lesiones “que alteran la vida”.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. NDP de Alberta (NDP de Alberta) presenta un plan en tres puntos por las liberaciones con custodia en el barrio chino de Edmonton (Alberta). La oposición propone medidas después de que imágenes de vigilancia mostraran a policías y agentes de correcciones dejando a detenidos recientemente liberados dentro y alrededor del barrio chino; el diputado por Edmonton‑South West, Nathan Ip, dijo que la práctica está dañando la seguridad comunitaria y la confianza empresarial, y líderes del barrio chino como Wai‑Ling Lennon y Karl Miu pidieron acción provincial. El plan busca abordar las entregas persistentes que, según miembros de la comunidad, ocurren desde hace años.
  2. Exdirector electoral afirma que las reglas de voto por correo lo dejaron sin derecho a voto. Glen Resler dice que no pudo devolver una boleta especial por correo a tiempo para el referéndum del 19 de octubre y que le negaron la entrega en persona en la oficina de Elections Alberta (Elections Alberta) en Edmonton; Elections Alberta confirma que, bajo las nuevas normas provinciales, las boletas especiales deben en su mayoría devolverse por correo y reconoce que la regla puede ser una barrera para algunos votantes. Resler afirma que el jefe electoral rechazó usar una cláusula discrecional que permitiría la aceptación en persona.
  3. Mark Carney (exgobernador del Banco de Canadá) urgió a los albertones a “votar como si Canadá dependiera de ello” en un mitin en Calgary (Alberta). En un acto de Forever Canadian (Forever Canadian) al que asistieron unas 5,000 personas, el exgobernador dijo al público el jueves por la noche que voten para mantener a Alberta en la Confederación y rechazar un segundo referéndum vinculante de separación; Carney afirmó que está en juego mucho y pidió un resultado decisivo en la votación del lunes.
  4. Verificación: Elections Alberta limita los veedores por espacio, no para excluir a separatistas. Elections Alberta restringió quién puede asignar veedores para el referéndum del 19 de octubre citando espacio limitado en los locales de votación; los verificadores de hechos determinaron que el límite responde a normas logísticas y no a un intento orquestado de excluir a anunciantes terceros, aunque críticos, incluidos simpatizantes separatistas, han denunciado sesgo político en línea.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. (Ver punto 1 en Gobierno y política) Líderes del barrio chino reportan entregas continuas de detenidos liberados. Miembros de la comunidad, entre ellos Wai‑Ling Lennon, dijeron que personas mayores y niños ahora evitan el barrio chino después del anochecer; Karl Miu, de la Edmonton Chinatown and Area Business Association (Edmonton Chinatown and Area Business Association), confirmó que las entregas continúan y pidió intervención provincial.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Keller y los Mammoth detienen la racha de cinco victorias de los Oilers con victoria 4‑2. Clayton Keller anotó dos veces mientras los Utah Mammoth (Mammoth de Utah) vencieron a los Edmonton Oilers (Oilers de Edmonton) 4‑2 el jueves; Karel Vejmelka detuvo 21 disparos para Utah, mientras Connor McDavid añadió una asistencia para extender su racha de puntos a siete juegos y Edmonton —que jugó sin cinco delanteros titulares y un defensa— cayó a 5‑1‑1. Los equipos se volverán a enfrentar el sábado en Utah.
  2. Zach Mathis da impulso a los Edmonton Elks con una temporada inusual de dos touchdowns. El receptor de dos metros uno (seis pies siete) tiene un touchdown por recepción y un touchdown por retorno de intercepción esta temporada, incluido un retorno de 48 yardas (pick‑six) en la victoria de Edmonton 27‑12 sobre Hamilton; el entrenador Cody Fajardo llamó a Mathis un “jugador que pega todo” después de la jugada.
