🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. El alcalde Jeromy Farkas propone servicio del CTrain las 24 horas todo el año. Farkas dijo a los reporteros que el horario de trenes de 24 horas utilizado durante el Calgary Stampede podría guiar el servicio de transporte de la ciudad fuera del evento, y sostuvo que le “encantaría ver” acceso al tren las 24 horas; el horario habitual del CTrain es de 4:00 a.m. a 1:30 a.m., mientras que el servicio del Stampede cubre ese intervalo de 2½ horas con trenes cada 10–30 minutos y registró 229,000 abordajes el Día del Desfile.

  2. La provincia anuncia 39,000 plazas estudiantiles nuevas y mejoradas, incluidas 16 escuelas nuevas en Calgary. El ministro de Educación, Demetrios Nicolaides, anunció más de tres docenas de proyectos en Calgary y en toda Alberta, y dijo que la provincia acelerará proyectos bajo “Schools Now” (Escuelas Ahora), con 12 escuelas que se esperan completar en este año fiscal y 19 aprobadas para iniciar construcción.

  3. Elections Alberta advierte que un sitio falso está publicando datos de votantes falsos. El director electoral Gordon McClure afirma que un sitio de phishing en electionsab.ca está imitando a elections.ab.ca y publicando nombres, direcciones y números de identificación de electores inventados; McClure dijo que su oficina ha contactado a organismos de fiscalización y ciberseguridad y vinculó el sitio falso con la preocupación pública después de que 2.9 millones de registros de votantes fueran expuestos anteriormente por la aplicación Centurion Project.

  4. La policía reporta al menos tres teléfonos robados en los terrenos del Stampede, incluidos dos en Nashville North. El sargento interino Jon Pierce dijo que la policía de Calgary está al tanto de múltiples hurtos en recintos del Stampede y en el Badlands Music Festival; víctimas como Jaiden Hein informaron que los dispositivos hicieron ping cerca de Cochrane, Alta., y usuarios han compartido alertas en redes sociales pidiendo a otros revisar dispositivos perdidos.

  5. La ciudad estudia convertir algunos estacionamientos park‑and‑ride en viviendas y los viajeros plantean preocupaciones por el aparcamiento. Las propuestas de la ciudad para reconvertir determinados park‑and‑ride en vivienda residencial han provocado rechazo entre los viajeros por la disponibilidad de estacionamiento, con usuarios locales expresando públicamente su inquietud por perder plazas en esos lotes de tránsito de Calgary.

  6. Tornados hirieron a cinco personas y dañaron casas rodantes cerca de la frontera Alberta–Saskatchewan. El meteorólogo de Environment Canada Julien Corrizeau dijo que tocaron tierra dos tornados —uno al suroeste de Paradise Valley y otro en el campamento provincial Dillberry Lake— la RCMP evacuó el campamento, cinco personas sufrieron heridas leves y se informó que algunas casas rodantes quedaron completamente destruidas.
