🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. La ciudad de Calgary busca oferentes para un estudio de viabilidad de 875,000 dólares canadienses sobre el estadio. La ciudad publicó dos contratos para contratar a una firma que evalúe la viabilidad de mercado, financiera y operacional de una propuesta de instalación deportiva y de eventos al aire libre y que oriente decisiones sobre el futuro del estadio McMahon, de 66 años; la adjudicación del contrato se espera en octubre y el costo estimado del estudio es de 875,000 dólares canadienses.

  2. La premier de Alberta, Danielle Smith, rechaza gravar las exportaciones de petróleo como medida de presión. Smith advirtió que un arancel del 50% sobre cuatro millones de barriles diarios exportados a Estados Unidos provocaría represalias arancelarias y dijo que tales medidas podrían costar “al menos medio millón de empleos”, afectando a Alberta, Ontario y Quebec; en cambio pidió intensificar la diplomacia con funcionarios estadounidenses.

  3. Saskatchewan aplicará un recargo del 50% al alcohol estadounidense pero excluye potasa y petróleo. El premier Scott Moe anunció un arancel del 50% al licor procedente de EE. UU. en Prince Albert y descartó explícitamente gravar las exportaciones de potasa y petróleo, diciendo que esas medidas pondrían en riesgo empleos y clientes a largo plazo como agricultores y compradores internacionales.

  4. Tiroteo con participación policial en el sureste de Calgary deja una mujer muerta; investiga Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (Equipo de Investigación de Incidentes Graves de Alberta). La policía de Calgary respondió a una verificación de bienestar en la cuadra 200 de Legacy Circle alrededor de la 1:30 a. m.; los oficiales informan que una mujer salió de la vivienda con un arma hacia las 2:30 a. m., un oficial disparó y la mujer fue declarada muerta en el lugar. El Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (Equipo de Investigación de Incidentes Graves de Alberta) se ha hecho cargo de la investigación.

  1. Expertos advierten que la historia muestra los riesgos de restringir el acceso estadounidense al crudo canadiense. El artículo recuerda el impuesto a las exportaciones de los años setenta y el National Energy Program, señalando que medidas pasadas provocaron alienación en el oeste y la creación de Petro-Canada, y cita a Heather Exner-Pirot al decir que emplear las exportaciones energéticas como herramienta sería “completamente una locura”.

  2. Los Montreal Alouettes encadenan siete victorias y visitan a los Winnipeg Blue Bombers; Davis Alexander lidera la CFL en pases. Los líderes de la liga, Montreal Alouettes (9-1), visitan a los Winnipeg Blue Bombers (5-5) el viernes. El mariscal Davis Alexander lidera la CFL con 3,400 yardas por pase, 73.3% de pases completos, 20 anotaciones y dos intercepciones; el receptor Tyson Philpot acumula 83 atrapadas para 1,229 yardas.
