🚨 Krimen at Pampublikong Kaligtasan

  1. Semi driver hinatulan ng 2½ taong pagkakakulong matapos nakamamatay na head-on crash na pumatay sa dalawang nakasakay. Si Michael Maurice Koochin, 40, hinatulan sa High Prairie kaugnay ng aksidenteng naganap noong Agosto 2024 na ikinamatay nina Laurent Isador, 38, at Tyler Duboski, 33, at nasaktan ang anim pang tao; nanawagan ang mga pamilya ng mga biktima ng mas mahabang sentensya sa pagdinig nitong Martes.
  2. Pagbaril na kinasasangkutan ang pulis sa timog-silangan ng Calgary, isang babae patay; inaalam ng ASIRT. Ayon sa Calgary police, tumugon ang mga opisyal sa isang welfare check sa Legacy Circle; isang babae ang lumabas ng bahay bandang 2:30 a.m. Miyerkules na may hawak na armas at nabaril; inihahawakan na ng Alberta Serious Incident Response Team ang imbestigasyon.

🏛️ Gobyerno at Pulitika

  1. Premier ng Alberta tumangging magpataw ng buwis sa pag-export ng langis, nanawagan ng diplomasya sa U.S. ukol sa taripa. Binalaan ni Premier Danielle Smith na ang 50% na taripa sa apat na milyong bariles kada araw na ini-export sa U.S. ay maghihikayat ng 50–100% na pambayad-pabalik mula sa Amerika at magdudulot ng “mga kalahating milyong trabaho, minimum,” karamihan sa Alberta; hinimok niya ang pederal na pamahalaan na manguna sa pag-uusap sa halip na magpataw ng export tax.
  2. Saskatchewan magpataw ng 50% buwis sa alak mula sa U.S. pero hindi susuportahan ang taripa sa potasa at langis. Inanunsyo ni Premier Scott Moe ang 50% singil sa mga inuming alkohol mula sa U.S. sa Prince Albert at sinabi na hindi susuportahan ng probinsiya ang export tariffs sa potash o langis, dahil magdudulot umano ito ng agarang pagkawala ng trabaho sa Canada at panganib sa supply chain.
  3. Mga eksperto nagbabala laban sa pag-uulit ng 1970s na paghihigpit sa pag-export ng langis habang tumitindi ang tensyon sa kalakalan. Tinukoy ng mga analyst ang 1973–80s na export taxes at ang National Energy Program bilang may mahabang politikal na epekto, na nagsasabing ipinapakita ng kasaysayan na ang kontrol sa pag-export ng enerhiya ay maaaring magpalala ng pagkakahiwalay ng mga lalawigan sa kanluran.

💼 Ekonomiya at Negosyo

  1. Inirerekomenda ng lungsod ang pagbabago ng disenyo para sa natitirang bike routes matapos mahigit 1,000 pampublikong katanungan. Sinabi ng administrasyon ng Edmonton sa konseho na nakapaghatid ang active-transport program ng humigit-kumulang 35 km ng mga ruta noong 2024–25, inaasahan ang 24 km noong 2026, at nabanggit ang higit sa 1,000 katanungan mula 2023 habang iminungkahi ang muling pagsusuri sa mga komplikadong proyekto.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Mga estudyante ng Killarney School ililipat pansamantala matapos binutas ng bagyong Hulyo ang bubong at binaha ang bahagi ng gusali. Inihayag ng Edmonton Public Schools na lahat ng Grade 8 na mag-aaral pansamantalang ililipat sa Hardisty School simula Setyembre 1, may libreng bus transport na ibibigay at tatagal ang paglilipat hanggang matapos ang pagkukumpuni.

🏈 Palakasan

  1. Bagong lagda na goalie Frederik Andersen mawawala sa Oilers camp dahil sa injury ngayong offseason. Si Andersen, na pinirmahan noong Hulyo 1 sa isang isang-taong kontrata na nagkakahalaga ng US$2.8 milyon matapos tumulong sa Carolina na manalo ng Stanley Cup, kabilang sa apat na inaasahang hindi makadadalo sa training camp ng Oilers; magagamit pa rin ng Edmonton sina Tristan Jarry at Devon Levi.
  2. Montreal Alouettes (9-1) papasok sa Winnipeg na may pitong sunod na panalo; natalo sila ng Elks kamakailan. Ang nangungunang koponan sa liga na Montreal (9-1) ay bibisita sa Winnipeg sa Biyernes matapos ang pitong sunod na panalo; ang tanging pagkatalo nila ay ang 32-29 laban sa Edmonton Elks noong Hunyo 20.

🌦️ Panahon at Mga Daan

  1. Bagyong Hulyo 15 pumunit ng bahagi ng bubong ng Killarney School at nag-iwan ng mga debris sa paligid ng 132 Avenue. Tumugon ang Edmonton Fire Rescue, custodial at security crews sa bagyo malapit sa 132 Avenue at 91 Street; ang dalawang-palapag na seksyon ay nananatiling hindi magagamit para sa mga klase sa Setyembre.
