23 articulos hace 1 hora 3

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Alberta reducirá las tasas del impuesto a la propiedad para educación en 2027 en casi 7% para hogares y granjas. La provincia dice que los propietarios de viviendas y de tierras agrícolas pagarán casi 7% menos, mientras que los dueños de propiedades no residenciales pagarán casi 5% menos; la nueva tasa quedará congelada por tres años y representará casi 100 millones de dólares canadienses en ahorros para los contribuyentes el primer año; líderes municipales de Calgary se habían manifestado públicamente en contra tras aumentos previos.
  2. El UCP revoca la membresía del separatista Jeffrey Rath tras un fallo sobre el código de conducta en Calgary. La primera ministra Danielle Smith confirmó que la directora ejecutiva del partido retiró a Rath, citando sus llamados públicos a convertir al UCP en un partido de independencia; Rath calificó la medida de comportamiento autoritario y dijo que validaba sus críticas.
  3. El Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo ordena la readmisión de Rusia en el hockey internacional, lo que complica el Mundial Junior en Alberta. El TAS falló el viernes que Rusia debe ser autorizada a volver a competir internacionalmente; el secretario de Deporte de Canadá, Adam van Koeverden, dijo que Canadá se opone a la decisión y mantendrá restricciones federales a atletas rusos en eventos canadienses que reciban fondos federales, afectando torneos en Edmonton y Red Deer.
  4. El Servicio de Policía de Calgary sigue promoviendo Crime Stoppers tras una brecha de datos en un proveedor estadounidense. Navigate360 informó acceso no autorizado a su sistema entre el 21 de noviembre de 2025 y el 5 de marzo de 2026; CPS dice que contactó a Crime Stoppers Canada, está satisfecho con las nuevas medidas de seguridad y continúa aceptando denuncias anónimas.

🏈 Deportes

  1. El arquero de los Flames Devin Cooley fue colocado en la lista de lesionados y está semana a semana tras una lesión en la parte baja del cuerpo. El entrenador Ryan Huska dijo que Cooley se lesionó el miércoles en Edmonton cuando el delantero de los Oilers Colton Dach chocó contra la zona de la portería; Cooley tenía un promedio de goles en contra de 1.50 y un porcentaje de atajadas de .955 durante una racha de cuatro victorias reciente y estará fuera por un número de semanas no especificado.
  2. El receptor de los Argonauts Tyler Kahmann nombrado Novato Más Destacado de la CFL tras 1,092 yardas. El jugador de 26 años tuvo 77 recepciones, 1,092 yardas y ocho touchdowns esta temporada y obtuvo 186 de los 260 puntos posibles en 52 boletas; los Argos reciben a Winnipeg en la semifinal del Este el sábado.
  3. Los Elks renuevan al gerente general Ed Hervey con una extensión de contrato no divulgada tras una temporada de recuperación 13-5. Hervey regresó en noviembre de 2024 y ha llevado a Edmonton de último lugar a primero en el Oeste con marca de 13-5; los Elks jugarán su primer partido de playoffs en casa desde 2015 el próximo fin de semana.
  4. Trevor Harris dice que está listo mientras Saskatchewan enfrenta a B.C. en la semifinal de la División Oeste el sábado. Harris llevó a Saskatchewan al Grey Cup la temporada pasada y será titular contra una ofensiva de B.C. que promedió 416.7 yardas por partido y que contó con 4,614 yardas por pase de Nathan Rourke esta temporada.
  5. Dru Brown será el titular por Winnipeg en la semifinal del Este tras reemplazar al lesionado Zach Collaros. Brown completó los 11 pases para 185 yardas y dos touchdowns en la victoria de 34-10 la semana pasada; Chad Kelly será el titular por Toronto después de practicar completamente esta semana.
