  1. Pansin: Bumabalik ang interes sa bagong pipeline sa B.C. — Dahil bumaba ang suplay ng langis dahil sa digmaan sa Iran, puno na ang Trans Mountain (Edmonton–Burnaby) at posibleng maabot ang full capacity sa Abril, sabi ni TMX CEO Mark Maki. Lumalakas ang panawagan na palakihin ang Trans Mountain o magtayo ng bagong pipeline sa baybayin ng B.C., pero ang pamahalaan ng B.C. (Minister Adrian Dix) at Coastal First Nations (Marilyn Slett) ay may malalaking pag-aalinlangan, at Enbridge CEO Greg Ebel sinabing "hindi pa" ang kondisyon para sa bagong proyekto.

  2. Malungkot na balita: Alberta na lalaki nahatulang 17 taon matapos mahuli sa child-sex sting sa Florida — Si James Hjelmeland, 31, mula Red Deer, umamin noong Nobyembre sa attempted enticement at pagdadala/possession ng child sexual abuse material at hinatulan sa U.S. District Court sa Orlando; naaresto siya nang dumating sa Orlando airport noong Enero 2025. Ang depensa humiling ng 10 taon at mag-aapela.

  3. Pagbabago sa botohan: Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission nagrekomenda ng dagdag na ridings — Inirerekomenda ang pagtaas ng MLAs mula 87 hanggang 89, kasama ang tatlong bagong Calgary ridings (Calgary-Nose Creek, Calgary-Confluence, Calgary-McKenzie) at pag-aalis ng Calgary-Peigan. Itinatag ang komisyon noong 28 Mar 2025, nagsagawa ng 30+ public hearings at tumanggap ng ~2,000 written submissions; may minority report at nag-aalala ang NDP tungkol sa gerrymandering.

  4. Patakaran sa lokal na pamahalaan: Alberta magpapatupad ng provincewide code of conduct para sa councils — Ang Minister Dan Williams magmumungkahi ng Councillor Accountability Framework para sa third-party oversight ng ethics complaints at paglalathala ng suweldo ng opisyal; sinasabi ng NDP leader Naheed Nenshi na parang "fox guarding the hen house."

  5. Militar: Mas aktibo ang CFB Suffield ngayong tag-init — Sinabi ni Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright sa DEFSEC West na gagamitin nang mas madalas ang Suffield (mayo lugar 2,700 km², hilaga ng Medicine Hat) para sa testing ng bagong teknolohiya at training; ang U.K. naglaan ng £17 milyon (C$31M) para sa unit at may nakaplanong missions 2025–26 at isa pa para 2027.

  6. Negosyo at consumer: Alberta nag-file ng Bill 21 para ipatupad ang interprovincial trade pact — Layunin ng Interprovincial Trade Mutual Recognition Act na alisin red tape at kilalanin ang regulasyon ng ibang probinsya simula ngayong tag-araw; hindi saklaw ang alak, cannabis, pagkain, buhay na hayop, tabako at halaman. Si Jobs Minister Joseph Schow sinabi na malaki ang benepisyo para sa small- and medium-sized businesses.

  7. Enerhiya at ekonomiya: Pag-aaralan ng MEI at Clean Prosperity ang epekto ng Trans Mountain expansion — Ayon sa MEI, ang price-gap ng U.S. light at heavy Alberta crude bumaba ng 37.5% at nagbigay ng US$16.7 bilyon dagdag na kita (Hun 2024–Nob 2025). Clean Prosperity sinabing kahit tumaas ang carbon price (MOU minimum $130/t), kikita pa rin ang oilsands at posibleng tumaas ang profita ng ilang bilyon; nabanggit sina Gabriel Giguère at Benjamin Dachis, at may puna mula kay Keith Stewart (Greenpeace).

  8. Lokal na atraksyon: Tyra ang Drumheller T. rex may problema pero buhay pa — Ang 25-metre na atraksyon nagpapakita ng "retaining water," may 'paghinga' at wrinkles; unang estimate ng repair $154,000 at maintenance siguro mabigat sa susunod na taon. Tyra itinayo noong 2000, kumikita ng ~150,000 bisita kada taon, at pinag-uusapan ang hinaharap bago matapos ang lease noong 2029.

  9. Krimen: Homicide unit nag-iimbestiga matapos altercation sa Crestwood — Isang tao dinala sa ospital na nasa life-threatening condition matapos hindi pag-aayos sa bahay sa 2300 block ng Crestwood Road North bandang 9 p.m. noong Miyerkules; walang taong inarestong pa, at tila domestic-related. 2025 stats: 4,929 domestic-related assaults sa Calgary (tumaas ~5% vs 2024) at 5 domestic homicides.
