27 artikulo 3 linggo ang nakalipas 200

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Senior aide ng Premier binatikos ang mga pinuno ng First Nations. Binatikos ni Bruce McAllister, senior aide ng Premier ng Alberta na si Danielle Smith, ang mga pinuno ng First Nations dahil sa kanilang "childish nonsense" sa pag-akusa kay Smith ng treason matapos ang isang tanong ukol sa paghihiwalay. Sa isang kontrobersyal na social media post, hinikayat ni McAllister na mag-focus ang mga pinuno sa mga usapin ng komunidad.

  2. Babae kinasuhan ng pagpatay sa Edmonton. Isang 36 anyos na babae ang humaharap sa kasong second-degree murder matapos patayin ang isang lalaki sa Edmonton, na nagpalala ng alalahanin sa lokal na kaligtasan.

🏛️ Gobyerno at Pulitika

  1. Magbibigay ang Alberta ng $100 na ayuda para sa affordability. Maaaring mag-apply ang mga taga-Alberta para sa $100 na ayuda para makatulong sa gastos sa pamumuhay, at ang pondo ay darating sa loob ng dalawang linggo. Binigyang-diin ni Premier Danielle Smith na ito ang kanilang paraan imbes na bawasan ang buwis sa gas.

  2. Sinabihan ni Smith ang mga pinuno ng First Nations na 'mag-isip-isip'. Hinimok ni Alberta Premier Danielle Smith ang mga lider ng First Nations na harapin ang kanilang internal na mga isyu kasunod ng mga akusasyon ng treason kaugnay sa politikal na kinabukasan ng Alberta.

  3. Walang resolusyong nakikita para sa hidwaan ng mga First Nations at ng Premier ng Alberta. Patuloy na humihingi ng imbestigasyon ang mga pinuno ng First Nations sa umano'y treason ng Premier, na sinasabi nilang kawalang-galang sa mga karapatang kasunduan ng mga katutubo.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Virtual reality pinahusay ang edukasyon ng narsing sa Alberta. Isang pilot project ng University of Alberta ang gumagamit ng VR para bigyan ang halos 900 estudyante ng narsing ng makatotohanang hands-on training, upang ihanda sila para sa mga bagong hamon sa pangangalaga sa kalusugan.

  2. Tahimik na istrukturang nasa ilalim ng lupa sinusuri sa Banff. Pinag-aaralan ng mga tauhan ng parke ang natagpuang istrukturang kahoy sa ilalim ng lupa sa Lake Minnewanka, na umagaw ng interes ng publiko.

🏊 Isports

  1. Nilinisan si Mike Babcock upang sanayin ang Edmonton Oilers. Inaprubahan ng NHL ang posisyon ni Babcock bilang coach ng Edmonton Oilers matapos suriin ang mga alegasyon mula sa kanyang nakaraang trabaho sa Columbus, tinutugunan ang mga alalahanin ng fans at team.

  2. Handa ng maglaro si Alphonso Davies ng Canada laban sa Qatar. Nagbubunyi ang mga fans ng soccer habang kinumpirma ni Canadian captain Alphonso Davies ang kanyang pagsali sa World Cup match, na nagpapataas ng moral ng pambansang team.
