49 篇文章 1 小時前 15

🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. 軍方稱猛烈蔓延是致命的威恩賴特軍事基地(CFB Wainwright)火災主因。 華德·拉特蘭少將向調查人員表示,一處草地火在強風下迅速變得兇猛,火勢延燒進訓練區;起初通報有39人受傷,後來數字降為27人,官方更新時仍有13人情況危急。
  2. 在威恩賴特遇難的四名士兵之一伍欽士官長(Sgt. Morgan Wong)將舉行葬禮。 伍欽的告別式訂於於埃德蒙頓(Edmonton)上午10時;現年26歲,為阿爾伯塔大學(University of Alberta)商學系畢業生,自2017年服役,曾於2024年10月至2025年6月赴拉脫維亞執行重建行動(Operation Reassurance),並在威恩賴特受訓、準備可能的海外部署。

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. 前內閣部長稱省長丹妮爾·史密斯(Danielle Smith)在全民公投後未必能在聯合保守黨(UCP)危機中倖存。 亞伯達進步保守黨(Progressive Tory Party of Alberta)領袖彼得·古斯特里表示,公投疏遠了聯邦派與分離主義者;約75%的選民選擇讓亞伯達留在加拿大並否決第二次具約束力的分離公投。
  2. 亞伯達政府承諾今年秋季提出關於可負擔性、消費者保護與人工智慧資料中心的法案。 政府事務領袖約瑟夫·肖表示,法案將針對汽車保險費用、公共事業帳單保護、演唱會票務轉售與二手車規範,以及對處理人工智慧資料的資料中心加強規範;立法機構於週二復會,為2027年10月18日選舉日程作準備。
  3. 亞伯達新學校旗幟規定公布,將於2027年生效。 省方要求學年期間在學校外懸掛加拿大與亞伯達省旗,允許展掛法語亞伯達(Franco‑Albertan)與市政府旗等特定旗幟,並將原住民、梅蒂斯定居點與外國國旗限於指定日或正式場合;校董會可在符條件下申請例外。

  3. 薩斯喀徹溫突騎兵(Saskatchewan Roughriders)的湯米·史蒂文斯(Tommy Stevens)創下加拿大足球聯盟單季衝關達陣紀錄。 史蒂文斯在雷吉納對埃德蒙頓麋鹿隊(Edmonton Elks)的16比9勝利中完成兩次短距達陣,打破此前與喬治·里德等人相關的單季衝關達陣紀錄。

🏥 Health

  2. 世界青年冰球賽賽前賽程:亞伯達6城承辦12場熱身賽。 冷湖(Cold Lake)、布萊克佛爾茲(Blackfalds)、紅鹿城(Red Deer)、卡姆羅斯(Camrose)、勞埃德明斯特(Lloydminster)與埃德蒙頓將於12月17日至23日主辦預賽;加拿大隊將於12月18日在紅鹿城對芬蘭,12月20日對瑞典。
  3. 突騎兵替補上陣與創紀錄的短距達陣表現影響季後賽排序。 薩省在末段讓主力休息,同時湯米·史蒂文斯在常規賽最後一場的勝利中打破衝關達陣紀錄,這場勝利影響西區季後賽席次。
