25 artikulo 3 linggo ang nakalipas 215

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Pumapaimbulog na tensyon sa pagitan ng First Nations chiefs at ng premier ng Alberta. Ipinagtanggol ni Chief Trevor Mercredi ang panawagang imbestigahan si Premier Danielle Smith para sa pagtataksil kaugnay ng isyung referendum sa paghihiwalay. Iginigiit ng mga pinuno ang hindi pagrespeto sa karapatan sa mga kasunduan.
  2. Sagot ni Premier Smith sa mga First Nations hinggil sa usaping paghihiwalay. Hinamon niya ang mga pinuno na "mag-reflect muna" matapos ang akusasyon ng pagtataksil, lalo pang pinapainit ang mga ugnayang nagigipit.
  3. Nagpatupad ang gobyerno ng Alberta ng $100 na tulong. Inanunsyo ni Premier Danielle Smith ang pamamahagi ng bayad upang kontrahin ang mataas na gastos ng pamumuhay, na darating sa loob ng dalawang linggo pagkatapos mag-apply.

🏥 Kalusugan

  1. Mga doktor sa Alberta magsasagawa ng pribadong operasyon pagsapit ng tag-lagas. Isang bagong polisiya ang magpapahintulot sa mga operasyon tulad ng hip replacement sa ilalim ng magkasanib na pampubliko at pribadong praktis, layuning mabawasan ang mahabang oras ng paghihintay.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Proyektong VR na muling definihin ang edukasyon sa nursing. Ang inisyatiba ng virtual reality ng University of Alberta ay nagbibigay sa mga estudyante ng immersive practical experience, humuhubog sa hinaharap ng hands-on na pag-aaral.

🚑 Mga Insidente

  1. Driver ng crane nawawala matapos lumubog sa ilog sa Alberta. Iniulat ng RCMP na ang isang crane ay nalihis mula sa tulay malapit sa Grande Prairie. Nagkaroon ng pagkakaantala sa pagsagip dahil sa kondisyon ng ilog.

🌦️ Panahon at Kalsada

  1. Mahiwagang estrukturang nasa ilalim ng lupa natuklasan sa Banff. Sinisiyasat ng park staff ang bumagsak na estruktura sa ilalim ng lupa malapit sa Lake Minnewanka, na natukoy bilang kahoy na gawang konstruksyon.

🏈 Palakasan

  1. Malaya ang Oilers na kunin si Mike Babcock bilang coach. Inaprubahan ng NHL si Babcock matapos ang imbestigasyon sa nakaraang asal, binubuksan ang posibilidad para sa kanyang pagkuha.
