23 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 12

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Sunog sa CFB Wainwright na ikinasawi ng apat na miyembro ng Canadian Armed Forces, kabilang ang dalawa mula sa B.C. Ang CFB Wainwright (military base sa Alberta) ay tinamaan ng biglaang pag-ikot ng hangin na pinalawak ang isang damuhan na sunog; kinilala ang mga nasawi kabilang sina Private Aidan Goulding (23) (Pribadong sundalo mula North Vancouver) at Private Hayden Lykkemark (19) (Pribadong sundalo mula Langley). Marami ring nasugatan; naglabas ng mga pahayag at panalangin ang mga pamilya para sa mga napa­sakit.
  2. Namatay ang harness racer na si Scott Knight, 52, matapos ang banggaan ng maraming kabayo sa Desert Park Raceway sa Osoyoos. Nabali ang galaw ng #1 na kabayo na si Dillon James (pinapanday ni Don Ross) at bumagsak, na nagdulot ng banggaan ng mga kasunod na kabayo; dinala si driver Carson Abbott sa Penticton Hospital at tinutukan ang isa pang dalawang driver para sa paggamot. Kinansela ang live racing hanggang 26 Okt. at magpapatuloy muli sa Lunes, 26 Okt.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Nakapagpahinto ng apat na buwang paghatol para sa tatlong lalaki na napatunayang guilty sa 2022 double murder sa Abbotsford. Sina Abhijeet Singh, Khushveer Toor at Gurkaran Singh ay napatunayang may sala sa first-degree murder noong Mayo; ipinahinto ni Justice Brenda Brown ang pagbigkas ng hatol habang nagpapatuloy ang isang konstitusyonal na hamon tungkol sa 25-taong hindi karapat-dapat sa parole. Ang mga hatol na ito ay may awtomatikong life sentence at 25-taong parole ineligibility maliban kung magtagumpay ang hamon.
  2. Kinansela ang mga kaso ilang linggo bago ang paglilitis sa 2018 na hit‑and‑run na ikinamatay ni Cameron Kerr, 30. Sina Taylor Stogryn, 37, at Conrad Wierzbicki, 35, ay hinarap ang mga kaso kabilang ang indignity to human remains at obstructing justice; sinabi ng mga tagausig na inihinto nila ang kaso matapos magkaiba ang testamento ng isang forensic pathologist sa mga inaasahan, at naabisuhan ang pamilya noong 14 Okt.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Alon sa munisipyo: mga incumbent at maraming slates tinaboy sa buong B.C., nagpapahiwatig ng hangarin ng mga botante para sa pagbabago sa public safety, affordability at pabahay. Napansin ng mga analista na madalas pinipili ng mga botante ang pamilyar na personalidad—tulad nina Pete Fry sa Vancouver at Doug McCallum sa Surrey—at iminungkahi na maaaring magbigay ito ng palatandaan para sa pagbabago sa boto sa antas probinsyal habang siyam na taon nang nasa kapangyarihan ang NDP.
  2. Hinimok ni Premier David Eby ang mga botanteng Green sa B.C. na suportahan ang NDP upang talunin ang Conservatives bago ang halalan sa lalawigan. Publicong nanawagan si Eby sa mga tagasuporta ng Green na bumoto ng NDP bilang bahagi ng mga pangwakas na apela ng kampanya bago ang halalan noong Sabado sa lalawigan.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Lumagda ng 97.3% ng mga miyembro ng Unifor na may mandato para sa strike laban sa Stellantis sa buong Canada. Kinakatawan ng union na Unifor (malaking unyon sa sektor ng automotib) ang higit sa 9,000 manggagawa ng Stellantis (kompanyang automotib) at sinasabing deadlock ang negosasyon matapos ianunsiyo ng kumpanya ang planong ibenta ang Brampton assembly plant sa Roshel; sinasabi ng Unifor na huling remedyo pa rin ang pag-strike.
  2. May-ari sa B.C. humaharap sa $13,586.88 transmission bill matapos tanggihan ng Toyota ang goodwill coverage para sa 2021 Highlander. Sinabi ni Dona Wilkie na nagsimulang umingay at maging agresibo ang shifting sa humigit-kumulang 98,500 km at sinabi sa kanya ng Toyota na 600 km na lampas siya sa 100,000 km powertrain warranty; tinanggihan ng Toyota Canada ang kahilingan sa goodwill ng dealership dahil wala raw naka‑file na Toyota service history.
