  1. El puesto de mando se traslada a Nose Hill mientras continúa la búsqueda del niño desaparecido de 11 años, Parker. La Policía de Calgary dijo el viernes que el puesto de mando de la búsqueda se movió alrededor de un kilómetro hacia el oeste, a Nose Hill Park, tras una operación iniciada el 16 de julio; los equipos incluyen más de 500 oficiales, cientos de voluntarios de búsqueda y rescate, unidades montadas y caninas de CPS, drones y la RCMP. Parker, no verbal y autista, fue visto por última vez entre las 11:08 y las 11:41 del 16 de julio cerca de Connaught Drive y fue captado en video en Travis Crescent alrededor de las 12:52 p.m.
  2. Paddleboarder en condición crítica tras chocar contra el estribo del puente de 85 Street. El rescate acuático del Departamento de Bomberos de Calgary sacó a un hombre del río Bow alrededor de la 1:10 p.m. del jueves; CFD inició RCP antes de que paramédicos de AHS trasladaran al hombre al Foothills Medical Centre en condición crítica. Un niño de 11 años que flotó río abajo tras la colisión fue rescatado por un transeúnte y no presentó problemas médicos; CFD advirtió contra el uso de correas de tobillo en aguas en movimiento.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Elections Alberta verifica cerca de 223,000 firmas en la petición separatista. Elections Alberta dijo que validó alrededor de 223,000 de casi 280,000 nombres el viernes, superando las aproximadamente 178,000 firmas necesarias; la petición sigue sujeta a una anulación judicial de mayo que está en apelación. La primera ministra Danielle Smith ha citado tanto la petición separatista como una petición a favor de Canadá al poner una pregunta de referéndum para el 19 de octubre en la boleta.
  2. La primera ministra Smith cuestiona las reglas de divulgación para los anuncios de terceros ‘Forever Canadian’. Smith dijo que le sorprendió que funcionarios de Elections le indicaran que la campaña Forever Canadian no tiene que divulgar las fuentes de sus donantes; Thomas Lukaszuk, representante de Forever Canadian, calificó los comentarios de la primera ministra como “ despreciables.” La orientación de la Elections Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act y enmiendas recientes hacen que Elections Alberta afirme que el grupo cumple con las reglas vigentes.
