Stampede Success Amid Challenges | Calgary News
Today00:01:47Tap to summarizeThe Calgary Stampede crushed it again—1.4 million guests, third-highest attendance ever, with 90% raving about the experience. Global leaders, A$AP Rocky, and Alanis Morissette lit up the stages, while 3,000 volunteers and hundreds of staff powered the event. But not all was smooth: a horse suffered serious injuries in the chuck wagon races, and crowds still packed the gates—especially on free days. Next year’s plans include demolishing the Saddledome and building smarter spaces to ease congestion, all while keeping the Stampede’s massive economic impact alive in Alberta.

Transcribe →Landlord Accused of Hidden Cameras | Calgary News
Today00:01:26Tap to summarizeCalgary police just dropped explosive charges against a 41-year-old landlord, Sooryong Park, accused of break and enter and voyeurism after tenants discovered hidden cameras in their bathrooms and bedrooms—cameras disguised as everyday items like surge protectors and smoke detectors. The scandal began when one tenant found a camera in their bathroom on June 8, sparking a full investigation that led cops to properties in Springbank Hill and Brentwood, seizing dozens of electronic devices. Authorities are now warning that Park may be operating in other major cities and specifically targeting women in the Korean community. Park is set to appear in court in August, and police are urging anyone with info to come forward anonymously. This is a chilling reminder to stay vigilant—even in places you’re supposed to feel safe.

Transcribe →Blurred Faces and Broken Trust | Calgary News
Today00:02:06Tap to summarizeA new documentary, “Unanswered: A Failed Call to Justice,” sparks legal and ethical debate after Edmonton police demand its screening be halted, fearing it could expose officers under a publication ban tied to threats against a shooter. The film’s creators, the John Humphrey Centre, preemptively shared the trailer with police but were still served with legal notices. To avoid prolonged litigation, they blurred officer faces — despite using publicly available footage from the victim’s family, already used by news outlets for two years. The director, a known police reform advocate, insists their approach prioritizes accountability over censorship. A court order was eventually issued after both sides agreed, and the ban remains in place as the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team continues its probe. Meanwhile, officers are pursuing separate legal action to blur a previously released video of the shooting’s aftermath.

Transcribe →Carney at Stampede Pushes Pipeline | Calgary News
Yesterday00:01:40Tap to summarizePrime Minister Mark Carney rolled into the Calgary Stampede with mini doughnuts and chuckwagon races — but his real mission? Promoting a new West Coast oil pipeline. Following recent Middle East travels and a prior Calgary announcement with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Carney unveiled plans for a pipeline reusing the Trans Mountain route, with Alberta and the federal Crown corporation jointly owning it. Polls show strong public backing, and Carney’s visit aimed to heal past energy policy rifts between Ottawa and Alberta, while pushing for sustainable, interprovincial collaboration. He didn’t deliver a speech — just mingled, watched races with his wife, and reminded Canadians that Canada’s energy future must be both global and green.
