26 articulos hace 3 días 129

🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Conductor de tráiler recibe sentencia de 2½ años tras choque frontal mortal que dejó dos muertos. Michael Maurice Koochin, 40, fue sentenciado en High Prairie por el choque de agosto de 2024 que mató a Laurent Isador, 38, y a Tyler Duboski, 33, e hirió a seis personas; las familias de las víctimas pidieron una pena más larga durante la audiencia del martes.
  2. Tiroteo con participación policial en el sureste de Calgary deja una mujer muerta; ASIRT investiga. La policía de Calgary informó que los agentes acudieron a un chequeo de bienestar en Legacy Circle; una mujer salió de una vivienda alrededor de las 2:30 a.m. del miércoles con un arma y fue baleada; el Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) asumió la investigación.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. La premier de Alberta descarta gravar las exportaciones de petróleo y pide diplomacia con EE. UU. sobre aranceles. Danielle Smith advirtió que un arancel del 50% sobre cuatro millones de barriles diarios exportados a Estados Unidos provocaría represalias del 50–100% y costaría “unos 500.000 empleos como mínimo”, en su mayoría en Alberta; pidió que el gobierno federal lidere las negociaciones en lugar de imponer impuestos a la exportación.
  2. Saskatchewan aplicará un impuesto del 50% al alcohol estadounidense pero descarta aranceles al potasio y al petróleo. El premier Scott Moe anunció una tasa del 50% sobre bebidas alcohólicas procedentes de EE. UU. en Prince Albert y dijo que su provincia no apoyará aranceles a la exportación de potasio ni de petróleo, citando pérdidas inmediatas de empleos canadienses y riesgos para la cadena de suministro.
  3. Expertos advierten contra repetir las restricciones a la exportación de petróleo de los años 70 en medio de tensiones comerciales. Analistas recuerdan los impuestos a la exportación de 1973–80 y la prolongada repercusión política del National Energy Program, y sostienen que el precedente histórico muestra que los controles sobre las exportaciones energéticas pueden alimentar la alienación occidental.

💼 Economía y negocios

  1. La ciudad recomienda rediseñar las rutas ciclistas restantes tras más de 1.000 consultas públicas. La administración de Edmonton informó al concejo que el programa de transporte activo entregó ~35 km de rutas en 2024–25, espera 24 km en 2026 y registró más de 1.000 consultas desde 2023, y propone reevaluar los proyectos complejos.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. Estudiantes de la escuela Killarney se reubicarán tras tormenta de julio que arrancó el techo e inundó partes del edificio. Edmonton Public Schools informó que todos los alumnos de 8.º grado se mudarán temporalmente a Hardisty School a partir del 1 de septiembre, con transporte en autobús gratuito, y que la medida durará hasta que finalicen las reparaciones.

🏈 Deportes

  1. El nuevo portero Frederik Andersen se perderá el campamento de los Oilers por una lesión de temporada baja. Andersen, firmado el 1 de julio por un contrato de un año por 2,8 millones de dólares tras ayudar a Carolina a ganar la Stanley Cup, es uno de los cuatro jugadores que se espera falten al campamento de entrenamiento; Edmonton aún cuenta con Tristan Jarry y Devon Levi disponibles.
  2. Los Montreal Alouettes (9-1) llegan a Winnipeg tras racha de siete victorias; los Elks les ganaron antes. El líder de la liga, Montreal (9-1), visita Winnipeg el viernes tras una serie de siete triunfos; su única derrota fue un partido 32-29 contra los Edmonton Elks el 20 de junio.

🌦️ Clima y rutas

  1. La tormenta del 15 de julio arrancó secciones del techo de la escuela Killarney y dejó escombros alrededor de la avenida 132. Edmonton Fire Rescue, equipos de custodia y de seguridad respondieron a la tormenta en la avenida 132 cerca de la calle 91; la sección de dos pisos sigue inutilizable para las clases de septiembre.
