Two people were injured Friday in a fire at a gas plant in southern Alberta. A man in his 70s was taken to hospital in critical condition from the plant, about 88 kilometres east of Calgary. The surrounding area was evacuated as a precaution, and officials did not provide details about the second person’s condition.

Alberta RCMP officer acquitted in Rwanda police-data case
An Alberta RCMP officer has been acquitted of charges alleging he accessed a police database to help Rwanda’s government. Eli Ndatuje admitted searching the database but said he did not share information. Justice Jason Wilkins said the investigation left reasonable doubt and found no evidence that Ndatuje acted with nefarious intent. The judge said no wiretap evidence was introduced at trial and the Crown’s circumstantial case was not strong enough.

Before you flip this on
Alberta mode is a guy from Edmonton commenting on the news, and
the guy is a machine. One or two lines an item — what somebody
who has lived here his whole life would say reading it out to his mates.
It is not the story. The headline above each comment is
the real one, the source link below it goes to the real reporting, and the
plain edition is one click away. He is not summarising anything and he is
not a reporter; he is the guy at the shop with an opinion about it.
He swears when a sentence wants it. He is rude about council, developers,
the province, the weather, the roads and the Oilers, and never about the
people in the story. He holds about a dozen opinions that contradict each
other and he is fine with that.
Some of it will sit wrong anyway. When it does, that is on us and we
would rather hear it than not:
[email protected], and we will pull
the line.
Two things get no comment at all, and they are not
negotiable: anyone charged or before a court, who has a trial coming and is
entitled to have us stay out of it, and a suicide. Anything you need to ACT
on — a tip line, an advisory, an evacuation — keeps its full
text underneath the comment, because a phone number does not go behind a
joke.
The plain edition is the record, and it is
the default. It is one click away and it is where you should check
anything before you act on it.
