🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Sinabing dapat pumirma ng pahayag pro‑Canada ang mga kandidato ng UCP at mga naghahain ng sarili para sa board, ayon kay Premier Smith. Inanunsyo ni Danielle Smith ang deklarasyon noong Martes at sinabi nitong ie-apply ito sa mga kandidato para sa party board sa susunod buwang annual general meeting at sa sinumang tatakbo para sa partido sa halalan ngayong Oktubre 2027; sinabi ni Smith na mga dalawang‑ikatlo ng mga kandidato ng UCP ay hindi pa ipinangalan.
  2. Ipinasa ng pamahalaan ng Alberta ang panukalang batas na magbabawal sa DEI sa pagkuha ng empleyado sa pampublikong sektor. Inilatag ni Justice Minister Mickey Amery ang panukala noong Martes na magbabawal sa mga pampublikong ahensya, Crown corporations, mga post‑secondary school, mga school board at mga munisipalidad na gumamit ng mga polisiya ng DEI sa pag‑hire at maglilimita sa mandatoryong DEI training, na may ilang eksepsiyon na hindi pa malinaw.
  3. Maliit na agwat ng boto ang nagpasya sa isa pang UCP constituency board para sa leadership review. Pinasa ng Bonnyville‑Cold Lake‑St. Paul association ang mosyon na 10‑9 sa lihim na balota, ini-post ni Scott Cyr noong Martes; isang buwan na lang ang nalalabi bago ang annual general meeting ng partido sa Calgary at gumagawa ng hakbang si Smith para supilin ang mga separatistang elemento matapos ang nakaraang referendum kung saan tatlong‑kapat ng mga botante ang nagpahayag na manatili ang Alberta sa Canada.

  3. Imbestigasyon ng RCMP sa procurement ng Alberta nagsasampa ng alegasyon ng pandaraya, breach of trust at money laundering. Sinasabi sa mga dokumento ng hukuman sa isang wrongful dismissal suit ng dating pinuno ng AHS na si Athana Mentzelopoulos na iniimbestigahan ng Mounties ang posibleng pandaraya, breach of trust at money laundering kaugnay ng mga kontrata sa pangangalagang pangkalusugan; kinumpirma ng RCMP ang isang procurement probe noong nakaraang taon.
