🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. La líder de la CAQ pide ayuda federal tras supuesta injerencia de EE. UU. en la campaña de Quebec. Christine Fréchette contactó al primer ministro Mark Carney y alertó a CSIS después de reportes de que un think tank estadounidense instó a apoyar y financiar a soberanistas, y fuentes no identificadas dijeron que funcionarios estadounidenses buscaron hablar directamente sobre aranceles con Quebec; la provincia entra en los 10 días finales antes del voto del 5 de octubre.

  2. Los líderes mantienen campaña a todo ritmo a 30 días del 5 de octubre. Los líderes de la CAQ, el Quebec Liberal Party, Québec solidaire, el Parti Québécois y el Conservative Party of Quebec hicieron campaña el jueves con la inmigración y la inteligencia artificial entre los temas principales; el PQ prometió reducir los inmigrantes temporales de 500,000 a 250,000.

  3. Élections Québec ordenó a empleados no hablar inglés, lo que genera dudas sobre derechos. Élections Québec emitió una directiva restringiendo el uso del inglés por parte del personal, lo que abrió el debate sobre si los derechos de los anglófonos se ven afectados durante la elección provincial del 5 de octubre.

🚨 Crimen y seguridad pública

  1. Mujer de Montreal murió durante una llamada de trabajo por Zoom; ahora investiga homicidios. Leila Ben Salem, 45, empleada de la Canada Revenue Agency (Agencia de Ingresos de Canadá), fue hallada muerta en un apartamento de Ville-Marie tras una revisión de bienestar; la policía de Montreal dijo que el caso pasó a la unidad de homicidios y es el 19.º homicidio de la ciudad este año.

  2. Nueve escuelas islámicas en todo el país en alerta tras amenazas por correo electrónico. La Muslim Association of Canada (Asociación Musulmana de Canadá) dijo que nueve escuelas de la MAC en Ontario, Columbia Británica y Quebec recibieron un correo anónimo que amenazaba con la “masacre” de musulmanes; las policías locales y las unidades de crímenes de odio han sido notificadas y la MAC contrató seguridad pagada.

  3. Hombre de Quebec City acusado por amenazas en línea contra el primer ministro Mark Carney. Ousmane Bah, 45, fue arrestado y acusado de proferir amenazas de causar muerte o daño corporal y de promover deliberadamente el odio; sigue detenido hasta su audiencia el 1 de octubre.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. El campamento de Notre-Dame se volvió un punto crítico mientras residentes priorizan la supervivencia. Unas 180 personas viven en aproximadamente 200 tiendas en la franja del este cerca del San Lorenzo, y los residentes expresan miedos urgentes de pasar otro invierno afuera mientras los líderes discuten vivienda antes del voto del 5 de octubre.

  2. Forense: un adulto mayor sin hogar en Montreal murió días después de que se le negara una solicitud urgente de vivienda. Un informe del forense concluyó que un anciano en situación de calle falleció poco después de que se rechazara su petición urgente de vivienda; el caso subraya listas de espera y vacíos en los programas detallados en las conclusiones del forense.

  3. Autor quebequense retirado de la lista larga del Goncourt por presuntas IA y plagio. La Académie Goncourt sacó de su lista larga de 16 títulos la novela de Thélyson Orélien “C’était ça ou mourir” tras análisis que suscitaron dudas sobre uso de inteligencia artificial y presunto plagio; su editorial en Quebec suspendió la promoción y una feria del libro en Quebec canceló sus presentaciones.
