Acuerdo para Prairie Economic Gateway, oficial herido y aumento de mensajes a Kids Help Phone — Martes en Calgary

23 articulos hace 2 semanas 139

🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Oficial de Calgary disparado dos veces en un parque fue dado de alta del hospital. La policía dice que el tiroteo comenzó cuando los agentes detuvieron a un hombre en una camioneta negra poco antes del mediodía; el sospechoso huyó y más tarde fue encontrado muerto en el Bow River por una herida de arma de fuego autoinfligida, y el organismo supervisor policial de Alberta fue enviado para investigar la escena.
  2. Investigación de 11 meses del CPS arroja casi 60 cargos contra ocho personas. El Equipo de Ejecución contra el Crimen Organizado de la Policía de Calgary ejecutó 15 órdenes de registro, obtuvo 74 autorizaciones judiciales y presentó casi 60 cargos vinculados a tráfico de drogas, delitos con armas de fuego y fraude en Delacour, Chestermere y Calgary.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Calgary y el municipio de Rocky View firman un memorando de entendimiento con el Canada Infrastructure Bank para un puerto seco. El acuerdo se centra en el terreno Prairie Economic Gateway de 1,300 acres a lo largo de la avenida 114 S.E. y busca acelerar el paso del diseño a la construcción de un centro logístico multimillonario anclado en la red ferroviaria CPKC.
  2. Kids Help Phone reporta 183% más solicitudes de texto nocturnas que diurnas a nivel nacional. La ONG dijo que los mensajes nocturnos (20:00–8:00, hora del Este (ET)) son 183% superiores a los diurnos y que los textos de crisis llegan aproximadamente cada 90 segundos, con problemas de pareja y pensamientos suicidas entre las principales preocupaciones.
  3. Environment Canada lanza alertas meteorológicas severas basadas en polígonos para reducir la "fatiga de alertas". El nuevo sistema permite a los meteorólogos dibujar polígonos dirigidos para advertencias de tornados y tormentas eléctricas en lugar de códigos de color por grandes zonas, lo que, según Environment Canada, reducirá notificaciones innecesarias.

💼 Economía y negocios

  1. Curaleaf presenta una oferta de adquisición no solicitada directamente a los accionistas de Aurora. Curaleaf comunicó a Aurora Cannabis que ofrecerá comprar todas las acciones después de que, según se informa, la junta rechazara las conversaciones; Curaleaf afirma que una compañía combinada abarcaría 17 países y está preparada para avanzar rápidamente hacia un acuerdo definitivo.
  2. Las reservas estratégicas de petróleo de EE. UU. cayeron a 298.7 millones de barriles, el nivel más bajo desde enero de 1983. El Departamento de Energía informó una reducción de 6.1 millones de barriles la semana pasada en medio de la guerra en Irán, señalando la capacidad de 727 millones de barriles de la reserva estratégica estadounidense y una liberación coordinada de 400 millones de barriles por la AIE vinculada a conflictos recientes.
