🏛️ Gobierno at Pulitika

  1. Hukom nagpataw ng freeze sa hanggang $8.5 milyon na ari-arian ng abogado Jeffrey Rath. Nagbigay ng pansamantalang Mareva freezing order noong 10 Hulyo ang Justice Marion ng Alberta Court of King’s Bench na nagbabawal sa paggalaw ng mga exigible na ari-arian hanggang sa halagang $8,518,075 na pagmamay-ari ni Rath at ng kanyang professional corporation; mananatiling bisa ang kautusan hanggang sa karagdagang pagdinig sa 15 Hulyo at saklaw nito ang mga bank account, sasakyan, real estate at shares. Umunlad ang utos dahil sa isang pagtatalo tungkol sa trust-money kasama ang Tallcree First Nation.
  2. Mga flight attendant ng WestJet nag-picket sa Calgary habang bumoboto ukol sa welga. Mga humigit-kumulang 4,400 miyembro ng CUPE Local 8125 ang nagbo-boto sa isang strike vote na nagsimula noong 8 Hulyo at magtatapos sa 15 Hulyo, na inaasahang lalabas ang resulta sa araw na iyon; nagkasa ng mga picket sa labas ng WestJet Campus at Calgary International Airport habang nagpapatuloy ang negosasyon pagkatapos ng halos 10 buwan ng pag-uusap tungkol sa sistema ng flight credit ng airline.

🌦️ Kapaligiran

  1. Humarap ang Alberta sa mas matagal na season ng lamok dahil sa malakas na pag-ulan. Iniulat ng mga entomologist na may tuloy-tuloy na aktibidad ng lamok sa gitnang bahagi ng Alberta mula huling bahagi ng Hunyo kasunod ng malakas na pag-ulan; sinabi nilang huling katulad na season ay noong 1990; inilarawan nina Mike Jenkins (City of Edmonton technician) at Ken Fry (Olds College entomologist) ang malawakang kagat at tumataas na demand ng publiko para sa mga panlaban sa lamok.
  2. Maaraw at mainit na hangin na may mataas na humidity maaaring magpalala ng malalakas na bagyo at tornado. Ayon kay Kent Moore, propesor ng atmospheric physics sa University of Toronto, pinapataas ng heat waves ang panganib ng severe afternoon thunderstorms at posibleng tornadoes; nagbantang may mga bahagi ng Ontario, Quebec at Manitoba na aabot ng 30–40 C ang temperatura kasama ang humidex; dagdag ni Moore na ang kasalukuyang mga ekstreme ay mga dalawa hanggang tatlong degree na mas mainit kumpara kung wala ang global warming.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Pagtatanim ng Ohio Buckeye sa Cambrian Heights dog park nagdulot ng pangamba sa toxicity para sa alagang hayop. Ulat ng mga residente at ng presidente ng Cambrian Heights Community Association na si Daryl Connolly, maaari raw magdulot ng pagsusuka at pagtatae ang mga nuts ng Ohio Buckeye kung makakain ng mga aso; sinabi naman ng parks staff na alam ng kanilang planting specialists ang isyu pero hindi nila ito nakikitang malaking problema; hinimok ni Dr. Julie Schell, beterinaryo, ang mas malawak na pakikiplano sa pagitan ng iba't ibang disiplina sa pagpili ng mga halaman para sa pampublikong lugar.
  2. Programa sa Alberta na tumutulong sa mga preso na may FASD pinupuri dahil sa pagbaba ng pag-uulit ng krimen. Ikinuwento ni Katlin Sharko, na dumalo sa isang FAS seminar sa Edmonton remand, na natutunan niya kung paano konektado ang Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder sa kanyang pag-uugali at humingi ng suporta sa Willow Winds Support Network sa Edmonton; inilalarawan sa artikulo ang programang nakakatulong sa mga taong may FASD na makabalik sa komunidad pagkatapos ng pagkakakulong.
