48 artikulo 2 araw ang nakalipas 25

🚑 Pagbabalita at mga Insidente

  1. Detalye ng ASIRT sa nakamamatay na pamamaril ng RCMP malapit sa Irricana noong Hulyo 3. Sinabi ng Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT; Alberta Pangkat sa Masusing Pagsisiyasat ng Malubhang Insidente) na dalawang opisyal ng Airdrie RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police, pwersang pederal ng Canada) ang rumesponde sa isang 911 na tawag tungkol sa kaguluhang panloob bandang 6:20 n.g.; lumabas ang isang lalaki may hawak na tila baril at binaril matapos magpaputok ng maraming rounds ang isang opisyal; idineklara ng mga paramedik na patay siya sa pinangyarihan.
  2. Banggaan sa Highway 28 timog ng Gibbons nagsara ng kalsada nang ilang oras at nagdulot ng maraming pagkamatay. Naganap ang pagbangga ilang sandali matapos mag-5 p.m.; isinara ng Alberta RCMP ang Highway 28 sa pagitan ng Highway 28A at 50 Avenue, at binuksan muli bandang 11 p.m.; kinumpirma ng Sturgeon County (lalawigan ng Sturgeon) na mayroong maraming nasawi.
  3. Mga ulat ng pagnanakaw ng telepono sa teritoryo ng Stampede nagpabatid sa Calgary Police at naglabas ng payo. Sinabi ni Acting Sgt. Jon Pierce na alam ng mga pulis ang hindi bababa sa tatlong ninakaw na telepono sa loob ng mga tolda ng Stampede (Calgary Stampede; taunang pistahan sa Calgary, Alberta), kabilang ang dalawang ninakaw sa Nashville North at dalawang insidente sa Badlands Music Festival; binanggit ng pulisya na karaniwang gumagamit ang mga nakawin ng mga teknik ng distraksyon habang nagtatambak ang mga tao.

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Pagnanakaw sa konsyerto sa Stampede nagpasiklab ng mga abiso sa social media at follow-up ng pulisya. Nag-ulat ang mga biktima ng mga pagnanakaw sa Nashville North at iba pang mga tolda; ginamit ng ilang dumalo ang mga tool para hanapin ang device at nagbahagi ng impormasyon online habang ipinagpapatuloy ng Calgary Police (pulisya ng Calgary) ang imbestigasyon sa maraming insidente sa weekend.
  2. Muling lumutang ang pag-aalala ng komunidad sa kaligtasan ng Highway 28 matapos ang nakamamatay na banggaan. Matagal nang itinuturo ng Sturgeon County ang mga interseksiyon na mataas ang aksidente sa Highway 28; ang pagsasara noong Hulyo 9 nagpasigaw muli para sa mas mahigpit na kontrol sa trapiko matapos ang banggaing kumitil ng maraming buhay.
  3. Pagpapakawala ng ASIRT nagpapatunay na naitala sa body-camera ang insidente sa Irricana. Sinabi ng ahensya na naitala ang pamamaril sa body-worn cameras ng mga opisyal at nagbigay ng first aid ang mga opisyal at tumawag ng emergency medical services pagkatapos ng pamamaril.
  4. Utos ng immigration board ng deportasyon kaugnay ng Bishnoi gang kasabay ng mas malawak na pagpapatupad. Inutos ng Immigration and Refugee Board (Lupon ng Imigrasyon at mga Refugee) ang deportasyon ni Jashandeep Singh matapos maiugnay sa video ang kanyang pagkakabit sa isang extortion shooting noong Mayo 19, 2025 sa Surrey; sumusunod ito sa mga kasong racketeering laban sa mga mataas na pinuno ng Bishnoi.

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Sinabi ni Mark Carney na optimistic siyang matutuloy ang pagtatayo ng pipeline. Habang bumisita sa Calgary Stampede, sinabi ni Mark Carney na nagpapakita ng suporta ang mga poll; ibinahagi niya muli ang isang 17-minutong video noong Hunyo 30 na nagtatalakay ng pangangailangang makipagtulungan ang mga probinsiya sa enerhiya, at sinabi niyang tatlong suliranin ang hinaharap ng Canada: presyo, kawalang-ligtas at pagbabago ng klima.
  2. Nakipagpulong si Prime Minister Carney sa mga kinatawan ng Treaty 6, 7 at 8 sa Calgary bago ang mga pagbisita sa Stampede. Binalik mula sa paglalakbay sa Gitnang Silangan si Carney at nakipagkita sa mga pinuno ng Indigenous sa Calgary bilang bahagi ng kanyang mga aktibidad sa Stampede; ilang pederal na ministro at MP ang dumalo rin sa event ngayong linggo.
  3. Ipinahayag ng Alberta ang higit sa 36 proyekto sa paaralan kabilang ang 16 sa Calgary sa ilalim ng ‘Schools Now’. Sinabi ni Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides na layunin ng programa na magdagdag o mag-upgrade ng mga espasyo para sa higit sa 39,000 mag-aaral sa buong probinsya; 12 proyekto ang nakatakdang matapos ngayong fiscal year at 19 ang aprubadong simulan na ang konstruksyon.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Magsisimula ang operasyon ng bagong Meta data centre ng Alberta bago matapos ang katabing planta ng kuryente. Ayon sa mga dokumento ng probinsya at opisyal, sisimulan ng data centre ang operasyon bago ang katabing planta na pinapagana ng natural gas, na nagbubukas ng mga tanong tungkol sa pagkakasunod-sunod at imprastruktura para sa rehiyon.
  2. Ibinahagi ng Meta ang mga plano para bawasan ang paggamit ng tubig sa malakihang data centre sa Alberta. Ipinapaliwanag ng mga materyales ng kompanya ang mga hakbang para sa pagkonserba ng tubig na inilaan sa pasilidad, na nag-udyok sa pakikipag-ugnayan ng probinsya hinggil sa iskedyul at paggamit ng mga pinagkukunang-yaman.
  3. Nagkasundo ang U.S. Justice Department at South Bow sa kaso ng pagtagas sa Keystone pipeline noong 2022. Nilutas ng pederal na kasunduan ang legal na pananagutan kaugnay ng pagtagas, at inilagay ng ulat ng Global sa konteksto ng patuloy na pagsubaybay at remediasyon sa oilpatch ng Alberta.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Binawi ng lungsod ang isang noise-ticket para sa isang tolda ng Stampede dahil sa pagdami ng reklamo. Naitala ang 186 na reklamo tungkol sa ingay hanggang Huwebes, tumaas mula 124 noong nakaraang taon; ang Cowboys Music Festival ang nag-ambag ng 124 reklamo habang ang Badlands ay may 37, at nagbantay at kumuha ng sukat ang mga city peace officers ngayong linggo.
  2. Patuloy ang pagbangon ng mga trail at campground sa Kananaskis halos dalawang linggo matapos ang baha noong katapusan ng Hunyo. Pinakamalaki ang bagyo noong Hunyo 28, na nagdulot ng mga paglikas, pagbaha sa basement at pagguho ng tulay; sinabi ng Friends of Kananaskis Country na may ilang trail na nananatiling sarado habang ang mga lugar na mas mahusay ang drainage ay natuyo na.
  3. Palalawakin ng Tsuut’ina Nation ang halos 1,000 hektarya para sa planong residential development. Nilalayon ng pagpapalawak ng lupa na suportahan ang mga proyektong pabahay sa lupain ng Nation (Tsuut’ina Nation, Indigenous na pamayanan malapit sa Calgary); inilatag ng anunsiyo ang saklaw at hangarin na palakihin ang kapasidad sa pabahay.

🏈 Palakasan

  1. Maglalaban ang magkapatid na Philpot nang i-host ng Montreal ang Calgary Stampeders. Nagharap sina Tyson at Jalen Philpot noong Sabado sa isang CFL matchup; parehong pumasok ang mga receiver sa laro na may malakas na simula ng season at 14 na miyembro ng pamilya ang naka-planong dumalo.
  2. Nakakuha ng pilak ang atleta mula Calgary na si Daniel sa isang World Para Triathlon Series race. Nakamit ng lokal na para-triathlete ang podium sa isang international series event, isang kapuna-punang resulta para sa isang Calgary para-sport competitor.

🌦️ Panahon at Mga Kalsada

  1. Tumaas sa humigit-kumulang 23 ang bilang ng mga tornadong naitala sa Alberta ngayong taon—malaki sa itaas ng 30-taong karaniwan. Sinabi ng direktor ng Northern Tornadoes Project na si Dave Sills na may hindi bababa sa 23 tornado sa Alberta ngayong taon at umabot sa 48 ang kabuuan sa tatlong prairie provinces; may lakas mula EF0 hanggang EF2 at dalawang EF3 ang naiulat sa mga karatig probinsya.
  2. Dumapa ang isang tornado malapit sa hangganan ng Alberta–Saskatchewan sa gitna ng mainit at mahalumigmig na alon noong Hulyo 11. Naglabas at nagkansela ang Environment Canada ng red warning bandang 5:30 p.m. para sa County of Vermilion River; ang pagdampa sa Tulliby Lake ay humigit-kumulang 60 kilometro northwest ng Lloydminster.
