20 artikulo 1 oras ang nakalipas 5

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Naantala ang paglilitis sa hatol ng truck driver na pumatay sa dalawang motorista ng motorsiklo Huwebes. Nag-plea guilty si Michael Maurice Koochin, 40, mula sa Slave Lake, sa dalawang kaso ng mapanganib na pagmamaneho na nagdulot ng pagkamatay at anim na kaso ng mapanganib na pagmamaneho na nagdulot ng pisikal na pinsala matapos tumawid ang kanyang 1995 GMC tractor-trailer sa gitnang linya noong 31 Agosto 2024 malapit sa High Prairie; naantala ang hatol dahil nagka-sudden medical issue ang taga-prosekusyon ng Crown at wala pang bagong petsa.
  2. Nakahuli ang Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) ng mahigit dalawang dosenang baril at halos 200 kutsilyo sa imbestigasyon sa droga sa Lethbridge. Narekober mula sa isang tahanan sa 2000 block ng 7 Avenue North ang tinatayang $20,000 halaga ng droga, $13,649 cash at 20 kahon ng ipinagbabawal na tabako; dalawang tao ang inaresto at kinasuhan ng trafficking at maraming paglabag sa batas-pagmimina ng baril.
  3. Iniimbestigahan ng homicide unit ng Calgary matapos mamatay ang isang lalaki dahil sa pananaksak kagabi. Natagpuan ng mga opisyal ang isang lalaki na may saksak sa 1400 block ng 38 Street SW bandang bago mag-11 p.m.; dalawang tao ang inaresto at ayon sa pulisya magkakilala ang mga suspek at ang biktima.
  4. Iniimbestigahan ng ASIRT ang pamamaril ng pulis matapos na magtagpo sa Bridlewood madaling araw ng Huwebes. Tumugon ang mga opisyal ng Calgary bandang 1 a.m. sa 1000 block ng Bridlemeadows Manor dahil sa kaguluhan na kinasasangkutan ng isang lalaki na may armas; may isang pulis na gumawa ng pagpapaputok matapos ang komprontasyon mga dalawang oras mamaya at dinala sa ospital ang suspek na nasa critical na kondisyon.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Itinaas ng TC Energy (kompanyang pang-enerhiya) ang pananaw para sa demand ng natural gas sa Hilagang Amerika sa 51 bcf/d hanggang 2035, binibigyang-diin ang paglago ng data-centre. Sinabi ni CEO François Poirier na halos 70 porsiyento ng paglago ay nakatuon sa U.S. heartland, Alberta at Mexico, at binanggit ng TC na ang pipeline shipping capacity sa Greater Edmonton Area na inalok noong Marso ay fully subscribed ng mga developer ng data-centre.
  2. Sinabi ng Canfor na permanente ang pagsasara ng Fox Creek sawmill dahil sa kakulangan ng fibre at mahihinang merkado. Inialay ng kumpanya ang pagsasara sa pagkaubos ng regional fibre, pagtatapos ng pine beetle management strategy ng Alberta at mga tariff sa U.S., at binanggit na higit sa 74 katao ang nasa trabaho sa Fox Creek mill bago ang shutdown.
  3. Bumabalik ang Heritage Festival sa Hawrelak Park, inaasahang aabot sa mga 300,000 bisita ngayong long weekend ng Agosto. Magho-host ang Edmonton Heritage Festival ng mahigit 60 bansa sa 65 pavilions sa Hawrelak Park matapos ang tatlong taong pagkawala, at ayon sa mga organizer malaking suporta ang event sa pangongolekta ng pondo para sa Edmonton Food Bank.

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Sinampa ni Wetaskiwin Mayor Joe Branco ang kaso laban sa lungsod para maibalik ang kanyang access sa city hall. Sinasabi ni Branco na pinagbawalan siya ng mga konsehal na pumasok sa city hall noong Enero at nilimitahan ang access sa mga pasilidad ng munisipyo dahil sa mga confidential personnel matters; dumadalo siya sa mga pulong nang virtual at nagsampa ng demanda matapos siyang pagbawalan sa city hall.
  2. Nag-file para sa judicial review ang mga nag-organisa ng petitiyon ni Corb Lund na "Water Not Coal" laban sa desisyon ng Elections Alberta. Sinasabi ng mga petitioner na tinanggihan ang humigit-kumulang 35,000 pirma at ang kampanya ay nangangailangan ng halos 178,000 validadong pirma para pilitin ang konsiderasyon ng gobyerno o referendum, kaya humiling sila sa Court of King’s Bench ng Alberta na repasuhin ang verification process.
