  1. 關於法官任命的憲法之爭:阿爾伯塔省長丹妮爾·史密斯(Danielle Smith)與司法部長米奇·阿梅里(Mickey Amery)本週將在省議會提出動議,呼籲修改憲法讓各省在省級法官任命上擁有更多發言權;此前與安大略、薩省與魁北克的省長聯名致函總理Mark Carney的要求被聯邦司法部長Sean Fraser駁回。修憲需下議院、參議院以及至少七個合計人口超過半數的省同意,反對者擔心這可能讓法院政治化,反對黨批評史密斯在司法問題上缺乏公信力。

  2. 公民公投發起時段黑窗擬定:司法部長米奇·阿梅里提出法案,若通過將在省選前一年與選後一年內禁止發起憲法或政策公投請願(共兩年黑窗),已在進行或完成的請願不受影響。法案還將陽光名單門檻降至年薪13萬加元、將分離主義請願的申請費提高到25,000加元、並授權選舉局對製作或散佈誤導性深偽影片的個人處以最高1萬加元、機構最高10萬加元罰款;要求脫離加拿大的請願有至5月2日收集約178,000簽名的期限。

  3. Whyte大街三處斜向人行道將被移除:艾德蒙頓市計畫在Gateway(103街)、Calgary Trail(104街)及105街取消自2021年設置的斜向(scramble)人行穿越,恢復傳統斑馬線,作為約330萬加元的公車優先改善計畫一部分,以改善公交準點率並降低延誤。市府表示當年安裝兩處斜向路口約花費5萬加元,並會以路緣延伸與轉彎限制等設計維持行人安全,變更預計於今年稍晚實施。

  4. 送往外省就醫讓薩省乳癌候診減少87%:將患者送往卡爾加里做乳腺診斷,讓薩省的候診名單減少約87%,乳癌組織的CEO Kimberly Carson 稱這是有效的應對措施,但薩省新民主黨副領袖Vicki Mowat 批評耗費高昂且顯示省內醫療不足。衛生部長Jeremy Cockrill 表示,省方會繼續增加診斷資源並降低乳房篩檢年齡,以確保病人能及時就醫。

  5. 變化無常的天氣使偏頭痛惡化:阿大學生Kearyn Hall 表示每月最多會有20次偏頭痛,且近來劇烈天氣與氣壓變化讓症狀更嚴重;醫師Neeraj Bector 指出天氣是眾多誘因之一,加拿大約有500萬人(14%)受偏頭痛影響。治療選項從生活習慣調整到藥物、肉毒桿菌注射與枕大神經阻滯等,但診治與保險覆蓋可能有限,醫生建議若頭痛頻繁應及早求醫。

  6. 艾德蒙頓太空迷現場見證阿耳忒彌斯II發射:太空博主Zachary Aubert(The Launch Pad)受邀至佛州肯尼迪太空中心報導阿耳忒彌斯II,NASA 將4月1日列為最早發射日,這是53年來首次載人繞月任務。機組有加拿大宇航員Jeremy Hansen 以及美國的Reid Wiseman、Victor Glover、Christina Koch,整個近10天的任務將繞月後返回,Aubert 約有727,000名YouTube訂閱者,他說能近距離觀賞發射「真是難以置信」。

  7. 卡城供水限制可望在4月2日解除:Bearspaw南側供水主管自3月9日停用後已重新注水並在進行取樣測試;若水質合格,水泵將啟動,市方表示供水限制可能「最早在週四、4月2日」解除。該主管平時供應約60%的城市用水,恢復初期可能會出現約24小時的混濁水,市府也在Bowness與Montgomery設置臨時阻水設施以應對管線壓力。

  8. 食物銀行在前所未有的需求下縮減服務:全國食物銀行因需求大增被迫改變發放頻率與份量,穆斯喬(Moose Jaw)比四年前增加了150%的訪客。阿省本月有132,402人使用食物銀行(36%為兒童),Feed Ontario 指出2025年超過100萬人獲得服務、總共8.7百萬次拜訪。Food Banks Canada 的調查顯示2025年有52%機構不得不減少食物供應,23%曾供應不足,呼籲政府在住房與食品成本上推出更多政策回應。

  9. 涉及LRT站刺傷企圖的男子被控:警方表示33歲的Morgan Banman 在3月1日晚先在市中心一家酒類商店搶劫,隨後在Corona LRT站對兩名警察和一名交通平安員拔刀企圖刺傷,但無人受傷。Banman 被控兩項謀殺未遂、三項用武器攻擊警務人員、持有危險武器與搶劫等罪名。

  10. 卡城越來越多年長者面臨糧食不安全:卡城食物銀行研究指出64%的年長領用者是首次使用者,年長者約占客群5%,且在2024–25年期間,年長者使用食物銀行的機率是一般人口的三倍。研究將原因歸於住房與生活成本上升、儲蓄不足與退休收入不足,CEO Melissa From 表示很多遵循常規生活的人也被推入困境。

  11. 兩人被控一級謀殺:利思布里奇警方表示在3月27日接獲公寓內襲擊報案,發現一名27歲男子死亡,警方在隔日逮捕Darcy Andrew Medicine Crane(43歲)與Jordan Frank North Peigan(27歲),兩人被控一級謀殺並還押候審,警方稱這是一宗有針對性的熟人事件。

  12. 美國將在今夏關閉邊界路對加拿大人通行:連接兩國的14公里Border Road 將在今夏禁止加拿大車輛通行,美國以打擊非法跨境活動為由強化執法,阿省將在加拿大一側鋪建平行道路並撥款約800萬加元,工程預計4月開工、夏季完工。長年鄰居如Ross Ford 與 Roger Horgus 形容此舉令人惋惜,但交通部長Devin Dreeshen 表示加拿大一側將保留當地通行權。

  13. 新任聯邦新民主黨領袖路易斯面臨草原省內分歧:Avi Lewis 以約56%的得票在首輪當選聯邦NDP領袖,主張公營雜貨與電信並反對新化石燃料開發,但阿省Naheed Nenshi 與薩省Carla Beck 對其政策表達擔憂。Lewis 計畫從基層重建(首場媒體出席定於溫尼伯),支持者建議他先走入工人階層社區建立聯繫,再決定何時爭取國會席位。
