  1. 关于法官任命的宪法之争:阿尔伯塔省长丹妮尔·史密斯(Danielle Smith)和司法部长米奇·阿梅里(Mickey Amery)本周将在省议会提出动议,要求修改宪法让省级政府在省级法官任命上有更大发言权;他们此前与安大略、萨省和魁北克省长致函总理马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)的请求被联邦司法部长肖恩·弗雷泽驳回。要改宪法需下议院、参议院和至少七个合计人口超过半数的省同意,该提议被批评可能使法院政治化,反对党批评史密斯在司法问题上缺乏可信度。

  2. 公民公投发起时间窗口新规:司法部长米奇·阿梅里提出法案,拟在省选举前后各一年内禁止发起宪法或政策公投的请愿(合计两年黑窗期),但正在进行或已完成的请愿不受影响。法案还将阳光名单(高薪公开名单)下调至年薪13万加元、把分离主义请愿的申请费提高到2.5万加元,并由选举局对误导性“深伪”媒体处以个人最高1万、机构最高10万加元罚款;呼吁脱离加拿大的请愿有直到5月2日收集约178,000个签名的期限。

  3. 怀特大道将撤除三个对角人行横道:埃德蒙顿市计划在Gateway(103街)、Calgary Trail(104街)和105街撤掉从2021年开始使用的三处对角(scramble)人行横道,改回传统斑马线,以配合约330万加元的公交优先项目,旨在减少公交延误并改善通行效率。市政称以前安装两个对角路口大约花费5万加元,且将通过路缘延伸和转弯限制等保持行人安全,改动预计今年晚些时候实施。

  4. 外省治疗将萨省乳腺癌候诊名单减87%:将萨斯喀彻温省患者送往卡尔加里接受乳腺诊断的计划,使萨省的候诊名单减少了约87%,这一短期成效得到乳腺癌关怀组织肯定,但萨省新民主党副领袖维姬·莫瓦特(Vicki Mowat)批评这昂贵且说明省内医疗没有优先保障。卫生部长杰里米·科克里尔(Jeremy Cockrill)表示,省方会继续增加诊断能力并降低筛查年龄以持续改进护理。

  5. 变换的天气让偏头痛更严重:阿尔伯塔大学学生Kearyn Hall每月最多有20次偏头痛,并表示近期剧烈的温差和天气变化加重了症状;医生如Neeraj Bector指出天气只是触发因素之一,加拿大大约有500万人(14%)受偏头痛影响。治疗包括生活方式调整、药物、肉毒杆菌(Botox)注射和枕大神经阻滞等,但新疗法或需要专科转诊和额外费用,医生建议症状频繁时及时就医。

  6. 埃德蒙顿太空迷亲历阿尔忒弥斯II:太空博主Zachary Aubert(The Launch Pad)受邀到佛罗里达肯尼迪航天中心报道阿尔忒弥斯II,NASA将4月1日定为最早发射窗口,这是53年来首个载人绕月任务。机组包括加拿大宇航员Jeremy Hansen和美国宇航员Reid Wiseman、Victor Glover、Christina Koch,近10天任务将绕月后返回,Aubert的YouTube订阅者约72.7万,他形容能近距离观看“非常难以置信”。

  7. 卡尔加里供水限制或最早在4月2日解除:自3月9日关闭的Bearspaw南侧供水主管已重新注水并在做检测,若水质合格水泵将恢复工作,市方称供水限制可能“最早在周四,4月2日”解除。该主管通常供应约60%的城市用水,恢复初期可能出现约24小时的浑浊水,市府已在Bowness和Montgomery安装临时防护措施以应对可能的管线破裂。

  8. 食物银行在前所未有的需求下缩减服务:全国各地食物银行因需求激增被迫改变发放频次和分量,穆斯乔(Moose Jaw)对比四年前访客增加了150%。食品银行联盟数据显示阿尔伯塔本月有132,402人领取食物(36%为儿童),Feed Ontario称2025年为超过100万人提供服务、共计870万次访问。Food Banks Canada的报告显示2025年有52%机构不得不减少食物发放,23%曾在需求结束前耗尽库存,呼吁在住房和食品成本等方面有更多政策作为支撑。

  9. 涉及LRT站袭击的男子被控:警方称33岁的Morgan Banman在3月1日晚在市中心一间酒类商店实施抢劫后,在Corona LRT站被发现饮酒并对两名警察及一名交通平安员拔刀试图刺伤,但无人受伤。Banman面临两项谋杀未遂、三项用武器攻击警务人员、持有危险武器及抢劫等指控。

  10. 卡尔加里越来越多老年人面临粮食不安全:卡尔加里食物银行研究发现64%的老年领取者是首次使用者,老年人占客户约5%,并且在2024–25年间老年人使用食物银行的可能性是普通人口的三倍。研究把原因归结于房租上涨、生活成本及退休储蓄不足,卡尔加里食物银行CEO Melissa From表示许多“按常理生活”的人也被推入困境。

  11. 两名男子被控一级谋杀:利斯布里奇(Lethbridge)警方称在3月27日接获一起公寓内袭击报警、发现一名27岁男子死亡,随后在3月28日逮捕并控告Darcy Andrew Medicine Crane(43岁)与Jordan Frank North Peigan(27岁)一级谋杀,两人被还押候审,警方称事件似乎为有针对性的熟人纠纷。

  12. 美国将关闭“边界路”对加拿大人通行:连接两国的14公里边界路(Border Road)将于今夏禁止加拿大人通行,美国当局以打击非法偷运为由实施新规,阿尔伯塔将建一条平行道路并拨出约800万加元,工程预计4月开工、夏季完工。长期邻居如Ross Ford与Roger Horgus对此深感遗憾,但交通部长Devin Dreeshen表示加拿大侧会保留本地通行入口。

  13. 新任联邦新民主党领袖路易斯面临草原省分歧:Avi Lewis以约56%的一票当选联邦新民主党领袖,主张公营杂货店与电信并反对新化石燃料开发,但阿尔伯塔的Naheed Nenshi和萨省的Carla Beck对其政策表达担忧。Lewis将从基层重建党组织(首场媒体亮相安排在温尼伯),支持者建议他先深入劳动阶层社区建立联系,再考虑何时竞选国会席位。
