🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Sinasabing pag-ulan nitong tag-init nagdulot ng pagguho ng bakuran ng mga homeowner sa Edmonton papunta sa kahang paghuhukay para sa pagpuno ng bakanteng lote. Sina Claire at ang kanyang asawa sa Glenwood nag-ulat na ang kanilang retaining wall at taniman ay gumulong papasok sa eightplex excavation matapos ang bagyo noong 18 Hulyo; nagsimula ang paghuhukay noong 17 Hulyo at nagsimulang maglagay ng shoring ang developer kinabukasan lang. Ayon sa kapitbahay, may humigit-kumulang dalawang talampakan ng tubig sa hukay pagkatapos ng bagyo at madaling mapuntahan ang site ngayon, kaya nag-aalala sila sa kaligtasan.
  2. Naghahanap ang Manitoba para sa 60-anyos na lalaking mula Alberta na pinaniniwalaang nalunod sa Nelson River. Ang Thompson Rural RCMP at isang pribadong dive company ay nagsasagawa ng paghahanap malapit sa Kelsey Generating Station para kay James Redmond matapos siyang huling makita noong madaling araw ng Lunes sa Kelsey, Man.; natagpuan ng mga opisyal ang kanyang gamit mga 200 metro pataas ng agos at patuloy ang imbestigasyon.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Binibigyang-daan ng pederal na pamahalaan ang pagdedeklara ng pambansang interes para sa pipeline na sinuportahan ng Alberta at papuntang West Coast. Naglathala ang Canada ng notice sa Canada Gazette noong 1 Ago. na may deadline sa mga komento sa 18 Sep.; kasama sa listahan ng proponent ang Alberta government pati na ang Trans Mountain at Pembina, kung saan may hawak na 10 porsiyento ang Pembina at may opsyon para sa karagdagang 10 porsiyento. Si Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc ang magkokordinado sa Alberta at B.C. habang nagpapatuloy ang konsultasyon sa mga Indigenous.
  2. Nagkaroon ng pagbabago ng utos sa 4 Wing Cold Lake: pumalit si Col. Tim Woods kay Brig.-Gen. Mark Hickey. Ang seremonya noong 22 Hulyo ang nagmarka ng promosyon ni Hickey bilang brigadier-general at paglilipat niya sa Hawaii; darating si Woods, na may mahigit 4,500 flight hours, upang ihanda ang 4 Wing at CFB Cold Lake para sa paglipat sa F-35. Binanggit ng mga opisyal ang mga proyektong pang-base noong pamumuno ni Hickey kabilang ang dependent medical clinic at pagpapalawak ng daycare.
  3. Sinasampahan ng kaso ng RCMP ang isang babae matapos masaksak ang isang estudyante gamit ang sinturon na parang makina sa isang Mennonite school sa hilagang Alberta. Inimbestigahan ng Fort Vermilion RCMP matapos mag-ulat ang isang magulang ng mga pasa noong 20 Mayo; natagpuan ng mga opisyal ang isang machine belt at dokumentasyon sa mga paaralan sa La Crete area at sinabing bahagi ng nakasulat na konstitusyon ng mga paaralan ang paggamit ng strap bilang parusa. Ayon sa Mounties, hindi lisensiyadong mga guro ang mga edukador at itinuturing na krimen ang corporal punishment.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. Umuusbong ang mas murang Australian beef sa mga tindahan sa Alberta, minsan higit sa $40/kg na mas mababa kaysa sa lokal na hiwa. Sabi ni Sylvain Charlebois, direktor ng Dalhousie Agri-Food Analytics Lab, tumaas ang presyo ng Canadian ground-beef mga 18 porsiyento noong Hulyo sa ilang lugar, habang ginagawa ng mas murang pagpapadala na mas kompetitibo ang karne mula sa Oceania kumpara sa mga prodyuser sa Alberta. Nagkuwento ang ilang konsyumer sa Southern Alberta na mas pinipili nila ang Australian beef kapag mas mababa ito sa kalahati ng presyo ng mga opsyon na gawa sa Canada.
  2. Ulat ng Suncor: adjusted earnings na C$3.23 kada share sa Q2, lampas sa tinantyang C$3.07. Itinala ng kumpanyang nakabase sa Calgary ang refinery throughput na 470,600 barrels per day, record para sa Q2, at tumaas ang refinery utilization sa 92 porsiyento mula 87; ang kabuuang upstream production ay bumaba sa 760,900 bpd mula sa 808,100 bpd, bahagyang dahil sa nakaplanong Firebag turnaround.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. Nagdadala ng humigit-kumulang 200 toneladang buhangin ang Edmonton Folk Music Festival matapos ang rekord na basang tag-init. Sabi ni festival coordinator Terry Wickham, tumanggap ang site ng mahigit dalawang talampakan ng ulan mula Hunyo; nag-ulat ang Environment Canada ng 580 millimetres ng ulan ngayong tag-init, nilalampasan ang rekord ng 1953 na 417 mm. Plano rin ng mga organizer na gumamit ng pumped water removal matapos pilitin ng mga summer storm ang pagsasara nang maaga ng ibang kaganapan — kabilang ang Edmonton Heritage Festival.
  2. Handa na ang isang astronaut mula Alberta para sa isang misyon sa International Space Station. Nag-uulat ang artikulo na ang astronaut na nagmula sa Alberta ay nagte-training at naka-iskedyul para sa isang nalalapit na misyon sa ISS; binanggit ang pinagmulan ng astronaut at ang kanyang mission assignment, na naglalantad ng panrehiyong partisipasyon sa programang pangkalawakan ng Canada.
