Downtown Loo Sarado, Pangako ni Doerkson at Patay na Humpback — Vancouver Miyerkules

24 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 13

🚑 Balita at Pangyayari

  1. Isinara ang Portland Loo sa Downtown Eastside sa Main at Powell hindi pa umaabot ng limang buwan mula nang buksan. Ang freestanding Portland Loo na binuksan ng lungsod noong 8 Hunyo 2026 ay biglaang hindi nagagamit — halos limang buwan pagkatapos mai-install; pinapatakbo ng lungsod ang yunit sa Powell at Main habang limang iba pang Portland Loos ang pinamamahalaan ng Vancouver Park Board. Umuulat ang mga kapitbahay na may nakatira sa kiosk nang halos isang linggo bago maglagay ng karatula na nagsasabing sarado ito para sa pagkukumpuni.
  2. Humpback whale na pinaniniwalaang "Notcho" natagpuang patay matapos ang sinasabing bangga ng BC Ferries. Napansin ang bangkay ng humpback noong 26 Oktubre malapit sa Grace Islands sa parehong lugar kung saan iniulat ang bangga ng isang ferry; kinuha ng Fisheries and Oceans Canada ang balyena at malamang na naka-tugma ito sa pangmatagalang talaan na may pangalang "Notcho" mula sa mga pagtingin na nagsimula pa noong mga 2016.

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Sabi ng premier-designate na si Lorne Doerkson na tutuparin niya lahat ng pangako sa kampanya. Sinabi ni Doerkson sa Global News na "committed" siya sa lahat ng nasa kanyang plataporma at binanggit ang tax relief at PST exemptions para sa mga negosyo bilang agarang prayoridad; nagpahiwatig din siya ng gagawing hakbang upang pigilan ang pagpapalawak ng PST at magtalaga ng isang independent financial review panel para suriin ang mga libro ng probinsya.
  2. Nag-usap sina Doerkson at Prime Minister Mark Carney tungkol sa mga prayoridad sa ekonomiya at LNG investment. Nagbahagi si Doerkson ng mga larawan ng tawag nila ni Carney noong Martes at sinabi nilang pareho silang nagkasundo na "supercharging our economy," makaakit ng investment at lumikha ng kundisyon para sa natural gas at LNG private-sector investment sa B.C.
  3. Nagbabala ang mga ekonomista na magkasalungat ang magbawas ng buwis habang nagsasara ng $14-bilyong kakulangan. Binanggit ng mga analyst sa coverage ang inaasahang $14-bilyong kakulangan ng B.C. at pinagtatalunan kung paano maisasagawa nang sabay ang pagbawas ng buwis at pagbawas ng deficit, habang itinuturing na sentrong mga baryabol ang paglago ng public-sector employment mula 2019 at mga trend sa private sector.
  4. Bumoto ang House of Commons na panatilihin ang pagbabawal sa mga oil tanker sa B.C.; natalo ang mga Conservatives. Bumaboto ang mga MP ayon sa linya ng partido sa ikalawang pagdinig para panatilihin ang Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, na nagbabawal sa mga tanker na may higit sa 12,500 metric tonnes ng crude sa hilagang baybayin ng B.C.; tanging ang mga Conservatives ang sumuporta sa pagpapawalang-bisa.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Umamin ng guilty si RCMP Assistant Commissioner David Teboul sa isang count ng assault para sa insidente sa Abbotsford noong 2 Hulyo 2025. Hinarap ni Teboul ang mga kaso noong 18 Setyembre 2025, kabilang ang assault at assault by choking kaugnay ng nagrereklamong party; nag-utos ang korte ng publication ban sa pagkakakilanlan ng mga biktima.
  2. Nagbukas ng imbestigasyon ang privacy commissioner sa Navigate360 matapos ang paglabas ng data ng Crime Stoppers. Inilunsad ng Office of the Privacy Commissioner ang pagsisiyasat matapos iulat ng Navigate360 ang isang breach na naglantad ng data mula 21 Nobyembre 2025 hanggang 5 Marso 2026, at sinabi nitong unang nalaman ang paglusob noong 18 Marso; inamin ng kumpanya na maaaring naapektuhan ang mga pangalan, address, petsa ng kapanganakan at social-security numbers.
