🏛️ Gobyerno at Pulitika

  1. Inutos ng Alberta ang rollback ng infill zoning sa Edmonton; humihingi ng paglilinaw ang city council. Dumalo ang dose-dosenang residente sa isang special council meeting matapos ang anunsiyo ng lalawigan noong Oct. 8 na ibabalik ang infill rules sa pre-2024 zoning; sinabi ni Mayor Andrew Knack na nagbubunsod ito ng mga tanong tungkol sa awtoridad ng konseho. Sinabi ng mga opisyal ng lungsod sa mga councillor na tanging ang Oct. 8 announcement lamang ang meron sila at wala pa silang natatanggap na nakasulat na direktiba.

  2. Itinakda ang referendum sa Lunes; mahigit 1,400 voting stations magbubukas sa buong Alberta. Magpapatuloy ang advance voting hanggang Sabado at inaasahan ng mga opisyal ang turnout na 80–85% mula sa halos tatlong milyon na electors; bukas ang polling stations sa Lunes mula 9 a.m. hanggang 8 p.m. Kailangan ng mga botante ng isang government photo ID o dalawang piraso ng ID na may pangalan at address ayon sa listahan ng Elections Alberta.

  3. Nagbabala ang McGill researchers na inihahanda ang mga naratibong magkokontra sa resulta ng referendum sa Alberta. Natuklasan ng Media Ecosystem Observatory na walang malinaw na pagbaba ng inauthentic accounts ngunit nagsasabing may mga online narratives na pinaghahandaan para kuwestunin ang boto; binanggit ng mga researcher ang mga viral na pahayag na inuugnay ang mga atakeng Ukrainian sa mga Russian data centres sa pagbabago ng separatist traffic.

🏈 Sports

  1. Umpisa ng upset: Utah Mammoth tinalo ang Edmonton, 4–2, kasama ang dalawang goal ni Clayton Keller. Umangat ang Mammoth sa 6‑2‑0 matapos ang 4–2 na panalo sa road game sa Edmonton; nag-ambag din ng goals sina Barrett Hayton at Logan Cooley para sa Utah, na may tatlong panalong magkakasunod.

  2. Calgary Stampeders haharap sa B.C. Lions sa season finale habang buhay pa ang tsansang makapasok sa playoffs. Nasa 8–9 ang Stampeders at puwede umabot sa 9–9 kung mananalo; maglalaro ang Calgary kontra B.C. (10–6) sa McMahon Stadium habang pinaghahandaan ng kicker na si Rene Paredes ang pagreretiro pagkatapos ng 15 taon.
