🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Los candidatos y aspirantes al directorio del UCP (Partido Conservador Unido) deben firmar una declaración pro‑Canadá, dice la premier Smith. Danielle Smith anunció la declaración el martes y señaló que se aplicará a quienes compitan por cargos en el directorio del partido en la asamblea general anual del mes próximo y a cualquiera que se postule por el partido en las elecciones de octubre de 2027; Smith dijo que alrededor de dos tercios de los candidatos del UCP aún no han sido nombrados.
  2. El gobierno de Alberta presenta un proyecto de ley para prohibir DEI en las contrataciones del sector público. El ministro de Justicia, Mickey Amery, introdujo el martes un proyecto que prohibiría a agencias públicas, corporaciones de la Corona, instituciones de educación superior, juntas escolares y municipalidades usar políticas de DEI para contrataciones y restringiría la capacitación obligatoria en DEI, con algunas excepciones que aún deben definirse.
  3. Otra junta de circunscripción del UCP aprueba por estrecho margen una revisión de liderazgo. La asociación Bonnyville‑Cold Lake‑St. Paul aprobó la moción 10‑9 en votación secreta, publicó Scott Cyr el martes; la asamblea general anual del partido en Calgary es dentro de un mes y Smith ha tomado medidas para frenar elementos separatistas tras el referéndum de la semana pasada en el que tres cuartas partes de los votantes dijeron que Alberta debe permanecer en Canadá.

🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Condenan por nueve delitos a violador en serie de Calgary de los años 1980. Un tribunal declaró culpable al acusado de nueve delitos contra varias madres y una adolescente por ataques ocurridos en los años 1980, según el aviso de condena; el informe no incluyó detalles de la sentencia.
  2. Veredictos de culpabilidad en caso donde la víctima fue golpeada, drogada con fentanilo y el cuerpo quemado. Un jurado declaró culpables a los acusados en el caso de Calgary en el que la víctima sufrió golpizas, fue asesinada con fentanilo y el cuerpo fue quemado, según el informe del veredicto; no se dieron nombres ni fechas de sentencia.
  3. La investigación de la RCMP (Policía Montada Real de Canadá) sobre contrataciones sanitarias en Alberta alega fraude, abuso de confianza y lavado de dinero. Documentos judiciales en una demanda por despido injustificado presentada por la exdirectora de AHS (Servicios de Salud de Alberta), Athana Mentzelopoulos, dicen que los Mounties investigan posible fraude, abuso de confianza y lavado de dinero relacionados con contratos de atención sanitaria; la RCMP confirmó una investigación sobre contrataciones el año pasado.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Matvei Gridin firma su primer partido de dos goles mientras los Flames de Calgary vencen 5‑2 a los Maple Leafs de Toronto. El joven de 20 años marcó un gol en ventaja por juego de poder 25 segundos al inicio del segundo periodo para poner el marcador 3‑0 en la victoria 5‑2 del lunes en Calgary, registrando su primer partido multi‑gol y su primer partido de tres puntos en la NHL (liga profesional de hockey); Gridin fue seleccionado en la posición 28 del draft de la NHL de 2024.
  2. Nathan Rourke, Brady Oliveira y Tyson Philpot nominados como los finalistas canadienses top de la CFL (liga canadiense de fútbol). Rourke lanzó para 4,614 yardas y 24 pases de touchdown esta temporada, Oliveira corrió para 1,493 yardas, y Philpot lideró la liga con 124 recepciones para 1,809 yardas, anunció la CFL el lunes.
