🚨 犯罪与公共安全

🏛️ 政府与政治

  1. 艾伯塔选举局将邮寄选票申请截止日提前,应对申请激增。 艾伯塔选举局称,自周二以来,邮寄选票申请增加约65,000份,总量约为290,000份,因而把特别选票申请截止日从10月9日提前至9月25日;副首席选务官达拉斯·斯托伊茨(Dallas Stoesz)将此归因于印刷、邮寄与计票的后勤安排。
  2. 埃德蒙顿部分邮寄公投包裹缺页。 埃德蒙顿的两位老人洛里与约翰·耶根在9月1日收到的公投邮包仅含第一题;约翰·耶根发现信封缺少其余九题后已联系艾伯塔选举局,目前仍在等待回复。

  4. 未对使用AI生成性化同事图像的艾伯塔治安官提起指控。 艾伯塔当局决定不对一名治安官就其用人工智能生成同事性化图像一事提出刑事指控;该决定来自内部审查,并引发关于政府工作场所人工智能使用边界与职业行为的讨论。
  5. 艾伯塔独立组织发布过渡方案。 一个艾伯塔分离主义组织公布了详细的“过渡方案”,列出成为主权国家的步骤;该方案在10月19日就分离问题举行公投前,为公众辩论增加了更具体的计划。

💼 经济与商业

  1. 加拿大8月就业减少42,000个岗位,令经济学家意外。 加拿大统计局报告8月净减少42,000个岗位,出乎经济学家预期,标志全国就业出现显著月度下降;分析人士指出行业结构变化,但医疗保健招聘此前仍是劳动力市场的一项支撑。
  2. “奇迹谷”数据中心选址获批特殊工业区。 位于艾伯塔北部的拟建“奇迹谷”数据中心用地获得特殊工业区划指定,为项目清除分区障碍,并显示地方对大型科技基础设施开发的支持。
  3. 埃德蒙顿马拉松失误让13名选手失去波士顿马拉松资格。 比赛组织者的错误影响了30名跑者的资格确认,导致13位选手失去报名前往波士顿马拉松的机会;组织者承认失误,选手反映错过了用于波士顿资格认证的已验证完赛记录。

🎨 社区与文化

  1. 詹·阿登将出席卡尔加里亲加拿大音乐会,为公投造势。 歌手詹·阿登计划于9月20日在卡尔加里堡(Fort Calgary)参加“卡尔加里团结音乐会”,作为“永远的加拿大人”(Forever Canadian)活动的一部分;该免费活动汇集多位艾伯塔艺术家,旨在鼓励选民在10月19日公投前参与投票。
  2. “雪鸟”飞行表演将在麦克马恩体育场为灰杯做最后一次飞行。 加拿大武装部队的“雪鸟”飞行表演队宣布,将在11月15日于卡尔加里举行的第113届灰杯闭幕演出中作最后一次表演,结束其第55个周年赛季,并在2030年代初的机队换装前退役CT-114教练机。
  3. 教师呼吁在课堂建立统一的人工智能政策。 艾伯塔教师协会主席贾森·希林警告称,学校采用人工智能的现状像“美国西部荒野”,教育界敦促各司法辖区制定一致政策,因为部分学区已有自定准则,而其他学区仍滞后。

🏈 体育

  1. 埃尔克斯在劳动节对决前凭失误优势领跑西区。 埃德蒙顿在周一劳动节比赛前战绩为8胜3负,以33次被动失误(其中17次被截球)领跑加拿大橄榄球联赛西区,转化为103分的优势;四分卫科迪·法哈尔多和教练组将失误差距视为对阵卡尔加里(5胜6负)的“艾伯塔之战”关键统计。
  2. 草原人加时胜保留紧追埃德蒙顿的西区争夺。 萨斯喀彻温队在加时以32比26击败温尼伯蓝色轰炸机(Blue Bombers),战绩提升至8胜4负,蓝色轰炸机降至6胜6负;该结果使埃德蒙顿在劳动节周末的比赛前以8胜3负独占西区榜首。
