48 articulos hace 2 días 28

🚑 Últimas noticias e incidentes

  1. ASIRT detalla tiroteo fatal de la RCMP cerca de Irricana el 3 de julio. El Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) informó que dos oficiales de la RCMP de Airdrie respondieron a una llamada al 911 por una disputa doméstica alrededor de las 6:20 p.m.; un hombre salió sosteniendo lo que parecía ser una pistola y fue abatido después de que un oficial disparara múltiples veces; los paramédicos lo declararon muerto en el lugar.
  2. Choque en la autopista 28 al norte de Gibbons cerró la vía por horas y dejó múltiples fallecidos. La colisión ocurrió poco después de las 5 p.m.; la RCMP de Alberta cerró la autopista 28 entre la autopista 28A y la avenida 50, reabriéndola alrededor de las 11 p.m., y el condado de Sturgeon confirmó que hubo varias muertes.
  3. Reportes de robos de celulares en los predios del Stampede alertaron a la policía de Calgary. El sargento interino Jon Pierce dijo que los oficiales conocen al menos tres teléfonos robados en los predios del Calgary Stampede, incluidos dos en Nashville North y dos en el Badlands Music Festival; la policía señaló que los ladrones suelen usar técnicas de distracción mientras las víctimas están en multitudes.

🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Robos en conciertos del Stampede generaron alertas en redes sociales y seguimiento policial. Las víctimas reportaron hurtos en Nashville North y otras carpas; asistentes usaron herramientas de ubicación de dispositivos y compartieron información en línea mientras la policía de Calgary continuaba las investigaciones sobre múltiples incidentes durante el fin de semana.
  2. Preocupación comunitaria sobre la seguridad en la autopista 28 tras choque fatal. El condado de Sturgeon ha señalado durante mucho tiempo intersecciones con alta siniestralidad a lo largo de la autopista 28; el cierre del 9 de julio reavivó los pedidos de controles de tránsito tras la colisión con múltiples fallecidos.
  3. Comunicado de ASIRT confirma que la interacción en Irricana quedó registrada por cámaras corporales. La agencia indicó que el tiroteo fue grabado en las cámaras corporales de los oficiales y que estos brindaron primeros auxilios y solicitaron servicios médicos de emergencia después del disparo.
  4. Junta de inmigración ordena deportación ligada a la banda Bishnoi en medio de operativos más amplios. La Junta de Inmigración y Refugiados ordenó la deportación de Jashandeep Singh después de que un video lo vinculó a un tiroteo extorsivo del 19 de mayo de 2025 en Surrey; la medida sigue a cargos de extorsión contra líderes principales de los Bishnoi.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Mark Carney dijo a las multitudes del Stampede que confía en que se construirá un oleoducto. Durante su visita al Calgary Stampede, Carney afirmó que las encuestas muestran apoyo mayoritario, republicó un video de 17 minutos el 30 de junio en el que abogaba por la cooperación interprovincial en energía y dijo que Canadá enfrenta un triple desafío energético: precios, inestabilidad y cambio climático.
  2. El primer ministro Carney se reunió con representantes de los tratados 6, 7 y 8 en Calgary antes de las actividades del Stampede. Carney regresó de un viaje a Medio Oriente y se reunió con líderes indígenas en Calgary como parte de sus compromisos en el Stampede; varios ministros y diputados federales también asistieron al evento esta semana.
  3. Alberta revela más de 36 proyectos escolares, incluidos 16 en Calgary, bajo 'Schools Now'. El ministro de Educación Demetrios Nicolaides dijo que el programa busca añadir o modernizar espacios para más de 39,000 estudiantes en toda la provincia; 12 proyectos deben entregarse este año fiscal y 19 tienen aprobación para iniciar construcción.

💼 Economía y negocios

  1. El nuevo centro de datos de Meta en Alberta empezará a operar antes de que se termine la planta de energía adyacente. Documentos provinciales y funcionarios señalan que las operaciones del centro de datos comenzarán antes que la planta vecina a gas natural, lo que plantea preguntas sobre la secuencia y la infraestructura de la región.
  2. Meta detalla planes para reducir el uso de agua en su enorme centro de datos en Alberta. Materiales de la empresa explican medidas de reducción hídrica previstas para la instalación, que está planificada para operar en la provincia y motivó el involucramiento provincial sobre plazos y uso de recursos.
  3. El Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU. llega a un acuerdo con South Bow por el derrame del oleoducto Keystone en 2022. El pacto federal resuelve la exposición legal relacionada con el derrame, y reportes colocan el asunto en el contexto de la supervisión y la remediación continuas en la industria petrolera de Alberta.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. La ciudad anuló una multa por ruido a una carpa del Stampede en medio de quejas crecientes. Calgary registró 186 quejas por ruido hasta el jueves, frente a 124 del año pasado; el Cowboys Music Festival acumuló 124 denuncias mientras Badlands generó 37, y los oficiales municipales supervisaron y tomaron mediciones durante la semana.
  2. Los senderos y campamentos de Kananaskis todavía se recuperan casi dos semanas después de las inundaciones de fines de junio. La peor parte de la tormenta alcanzó su pico el 28 de junio, provocando evacuaciones, inundaciones de sótanos y el colapso de un puente; Friends of Kananaskis Country indican que algunos senderos siguen cerrados mientras rutas con mejor drenaje se han secado.
  3. La Nación Tsuut'ina suma casi 1,000 hectáreas para un desarrollo residencial planificado. La ampliación territorial busca apoyar proyectos residenciales en las tierras de la Nación; el anuncio detalla la magnitud y la intención de aumentar la capacidad de vivienda.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Los gemelos Philpot se verán las caras cuando Montreal reciba a los Calgary Stampeders. Tyson y Jalen Philpot se enfrentaron el sábado en un partido de la CFL; ambos receptores llegaron al juego con arranques sólidos de temporada y 14 familiares planeaban asistir.
  2. El atleta de Calgary Daniel ganó la medalla de plata en una prueba de la Serie Mundial de Para Triatlón. El para-triatleta local logró un podio en un evento internacional de la serie, marcando un resultado destacado para el deporte para personas con discapacidad de Calgary.

🌦️ Clima y carreteras

  1. El conteo de tornados en Alberta este año subió a alrededor de 23, muy por encima del promedio de 30 años. El director del Northern Tornadoes Project, Dave Sills, dijo que Alberta ha tenido al menos 23 tornados este año y que las tres provincias de las praderas totalizaron 48, con intensidades que van de EF0 a EF2 y dos EF3 reportados en provincias vecinas.
  2. Un tornado tocó tierra cerca de la frontera Alberta–Saskatchewan durante una ola de calor húmeda el 11 de julio. Environment Canada emitió y canceló una alerta roja alrededor de las 5:30 p.m. para el County of Vermilion River; el aterrizaje en Tulliby Lake se sitúa a unos 60 kilómetros al noroeste de Lloydminster.
