A 15-year-old boy succumbed to a stab wound after an attack in Edmonton, and an autopsy has confirmed his death as a homicide. Police apprehended a 40-year-old man, Keith James Landry, shortly after the incident, charging him with second-degree murder. The victim, Broden Radomske, was a ninth-grade student at Lorne Akins Junior High School in St. Albert. Police believe the suspect was known to the victim and have assured the community that there is no risk to public safety.
The price of replacing buses is skyrocketing in Alberta, leaving municipalities like St. Albert and Edmonton facing significant financial pressures. The City of St. Albert has approved an additional $1.5 million for ten new buses, while the City of Edmonton estimates it will need to spend $257.6 million to replace 322 buses over the next three years. The rising costs are attributed to a number of factors, including supply chain disruptions, increased demand for zero-emission buses, and the transition to hybrid and electric technologies.
