21 artikulo 1 linggo ang nakalipas 150

🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. 16-anyos na si Jazmin Dhesi pinatay ng bala sa labas ng Hairsine condo; naaresto ang suspek. Si Dhesi ay binaril ng bago mag-7 a.m. sa labas ng Park Hill Condominiums sa hilagang-silangan ng Edmonton at namatay sa pinangyarihan; inihayag ng pulisya ng Edmonton noong Martes na naaresto nila ang isang kabataang lalaki kaugnay ng pagpatay. Sinabi ng mga kapitbahay na bumibisita si Dhesi sa isang kaibigan sa complex nang mangyari ang pamamaril; tumangging magbigay ng karagdagang detalye ang pulisya dahil menor de edad ang inakusahan.
  2. Nagsimula ang pagdinig para sa sentensiya ng lalaking Calgary na napatunayang nag-droga at nanalakay sa mga sex‑trade worker. Si Richard Mantha, 62, ay haharap sa sentensiya matapos arestuhin noong Abril 2023 at ang paglilitis na nagsimula noong Enero 2024; pinatunayang may sala siya noong Abril ng Hukom Judith Shriar sa anim na bilang, kabilang ang sexual assault at sinasadyang pagbibigay ng lasong kemikal, para sa mga paglabag umano mula Setyembre 2020 hanggang Marso 2023.

🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Hinihiling ni Councillor Karen Principe sa staff ng lungsod na magsuri ng epekto ng infill housing sa halaga ng kalapit na ari‑arian. Ang mosyon ni Principe ay humihiling na pag-aralan ng staff ang epekto ng multi‑unit infill matapos ang pagbabago sa zoning bylaw noong 2024 na nagpapahintulot ng anim‑unit hanggang 16‑unit na mga gusali; isang pag-aaral na pinondohan ng Edmonton Neighbourhoods United ang nakitang ang mga bahay sa loob ng 50 metro ng multi‑unit infill ay nagbenta ng humigit‑kumulang 7.4% na mas mababa sa average—mga humigit‑kumulang $34,000 bawat benta sa sinusuring sample.
  2. Nag-aalala ang mga negosyo sa Alberta habang papalapit ang pag-uusap ukol sa taripa ng U.S. bago mag‑midnight, ayon sa Calgary Chamber. Sinabi ni Ruhee Ismail‑Teja, vice‑president of policy ng Calgary Chamber of Commerce, na “labis ang pag-aalala” ng mga firmang Alberta habang pinag-iisipan ng mga negosyador ang posibleng 50% na taripa ng U.S., at nagpababala na ang kinalabasan ang magpapasiya kung palalawakin ng mga negosyo ang operasyon sa U.S. o tutulungan muna ang lokal na merkado ng Canada matapos ang 18 buwan ng kawalang‑tiyak sa kalakalan.
  3. Naghahangad ang Hope Mission ng rezoning para gawing 120‑bed permanent shelter ang thrift store/warehouse sa Edmonton. Sa pampublikong pagdinig para sa rezoning ng site malapit sa Argyll Road at 75th Street, sinabi ni Tim Pasma, senior director ng Hope Mission, na tumaas ng 23% ang pagbisita sa mga site tuwing tag‑lamig noong nakaraang taon at nais ng ahensya na i‑desentralisa ang serbisyo; tumutol ang ilang katabing negosyo sa lokasyon sa pagdinig dahil malapit ito sa isang casino at mga tindahan ng alak at cannabis.
  4. Pinayagan nang bumalik si Wetaskiwin mayor Joe Branco matapos ang court‑approved interim agreement, kinakailangang muling kumuha ng training. Inalis ng utos ng korte ang pagbabawal kay Branco na dumalo sa city council matapos siyang pumayag na muli siyang kukunin ng respectful workplace training at iwasan ang pakikipag‑ugnayan sa nagreklamo; inamin ni Branco ang maraming alegasyon sa ulat ng lungsod at balak ng kanyang abogado na magsampa ng judicial review na inaasahang magkakaroon ng unang pagdinig sa taglagas ng 2027.

🏈 Palakasan

  1. Itinanghal na top player ng CFL para sa Week 11 si J.J. Ross ng Edmonton matapos ang laro na may dalawang interception at touchdown.

  2. Namumuno sa CFL sa gitna ng season si Tyson Philpot na may 98 targets, 74 catches at 1,154 yards.
