Bawal ang DEI sa pag‑recruit, imbestigasyon ng RCMP sa procurement at talo ng Oilers sa shootout — Edmonton Martes

24 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 17

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Naglatag ang pamahalaang Alberta ng panukalang batas na magbabawal sa pagkuha ng tauhan batay sa DEI (pagkakaiba, pagkakapantay‑pantay at inklusiyon) sa mga pampublikong ahensya. Inihain ni Justice Minister Mickey Amery ang panukala noong Martes na magbabawal sa mga pampublikong ahensya, Crown corporations, mga paaralang post‑secondary, school boards at mga munisipalidad na gumamit ng DEI sa pag‑recruit; ipagbabawal din nito ang sapilitang DEI training maliban kung kinakailangan sa trabaho, at tututok din ito sa Alberta Human Rights Act.
  2. Hiniling ng UCP na pumirma ng pro‑Canada pledge ang mga kandidato at nagnanais sa board. Sinabi ni Premier Danielle Smith noong Martes na ang sinumang tatakbo para sa partido o para sa mga upuan sa board ay dapat magsang‑ayon na hindi nila ipaglalaban ang paghihiwalay, at inaasahan ding igagalang ng mga kasalukuyang miyembro ng board ang deklarasyong ito bago ang AGM ng partido sa susunod na buwan.
  3. Maliit na margin: isa pang constituency board ng UCP ang bumoto para sa leadership review kay Danielle Smith. Inaprubahan ng asosasyon ng Bonnyville‑Cold Lake‑St. Paul ang mosyon noong Lunes sa pamamagitan ng 10–9 na lihim na balota, sinabi ni Scott Cyr noong Martes; ang botong ito ay sumunod sa ibang constituency reviews at nagaganap habang isang buwan na lang ang agwat hanggang sa AGM ng partido.
  4. Umalis sa lehislatura ng Alberta ang matapang magsalita na UCP MLA na si Shane Getson. Iniulat noong Martes ang pag-alis ni MLA Shane Getson; binabawasan nito ang caucus ng UCP bago ang provincial election cycle ng Oktubre 2027.
  5. Tinalo ang Oilers, 4-3 sa shootout ng Detroit habang nagpapatuloy ang streak ni Connor McDavid sa puntos. Nag‑iskor si Lucas Raymond ng Detroit ng panalong gol sa shootout noong Lunes; pinalawig ni Connor McDavid ng Edmonton ang kanyang season‑opening points streak sa 12 laro at mayroon na siyang 34 na puntos sa panahong iyon, bumaba ang Edmonton sa 8-2-2 sa season.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Nagsasagawa ang RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police — pambansang korps ng kabalyerong pulis ng Canada) ng imbestigasyon sa procurement ng health care sa Alberta na may sinasabing pandaraya at money laundering. Ayon sa mga dokumentong korte na isinampa ngayong buwan, iniimbestigahan ng RCMP ang mga alegasyong pandaraya, breach of trust at money laundering na konektado sa procurement ng pangangalaga sa kalusugan matapos magtaas ng mga alalahanin ang dating pinuno ng AHS (Alberta Health Services — serbisyo sa kalusugan ng Alberta) na si Athana Mentzelopoulos sa isang wrongful‑dismissal lawsuit.
  2. Tinanggihan ng hukom ang kahilingan ng isang homeless na lalaki sa Edmonton para sa maagang hatol tungkol sa pagtatapon ng mga pag‑aari ng encampment. Tinanggihan ng isang hukom sa Edmonton ang kahilingan ng lalaki noong Martes para sa maagang desisyon ng korte hinggil sa pagtatapon ng lungsod sa mga pag‑aari mula sa encampment; magpapatuloy sa normal na takbo ang kaso, ayon sa hatol.
  3. Sinabi ng provider ng software ng Crime Stoppers na walang ebidensya na ginamit ang ninakaw na tip data para sa pandaraya. Ayon sa Navigate360 (nagbibigay ng software), noong Oktubre 23 natuklasan nilang walang ebidensya ng maling paggamit pagkatapos ng paglabag na nakaapekto sa data na kinopya mula Nobyembre 21, 2025 hanggang Marso 5, 2026; iniulat ng Toronto Crime Stoppers (lokal na organisasyong tumatanggap ng mga tip sa krimen) na apektado ang 176,859 na tip, kabilang ang hanggang 14,973 pangalan sa isang ibinigay na listahan.
