17 articulos hace 1 semana 71

🚨 Crimen y seguridad pública

  1. Orden de arresto emitida contra hombre de Montreal acusado en gran esquema de fraude de visas. Canada Border Services Agency dice que Abul Kasim, de 42 años, enfrenta cinco cargos tras una investigación que alega que ayudó a 65 personas a proporcionar información falsa en solicitudes de visa de residente temporal y reclamos de refugiados entre el 13 de enero de 2022 y el 19 de marzo de 2024; la CBSA informa que una búsqueda en su domicilio el 8 de mayo de 2025 encontró pruebas de apoyo.

  2. Joven de Montreal detenido tras supuesto complot de ataque escolar asistido por IA. La RCMP dice que el joven fue arrestado el viernes tras una investigación iniciada semanas antes a raíz de inteligencia de la FBI; la policía alega que la persona utilizó inteligencia artificial para planear el ataque y publicó amenazas en Telegram, y debía comparecer en la corte de la División de Menores el viernes.

  3. Órgano de control policial de Quebec abre investigación por choque mortal en gimnasio de Laval. El Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes revirtió una decisión previa y lanzó una investigación tras nueva información sobre el choque del 5 de agosto que mató al conductor y a un pasajero e hirió a otro; la policía de Laval dice que los oficiales intentaron detener un vehículo visto sin placa antes de que acelerara y golpeara el centro de acondicionamiento físico.

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. Montreal equipará a los agentes con cámaras corporales y más videocámaras de patrulla. La alcaldesa Soraya Martinez Ferrada anunció que 3,500 policías recibirán cámaras corporales y que aproximadamente 600 vehículos patrulla contarán con videocámaras y lectores automáticos de placas, con 40 millones asignados para el programa en el presupuesto municipal de este año.

  2. El Parti Québécois aboliría Santé Québec para reasignar fondos a la atención directa, dice su líder. El líder Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon propuso eliminar la agencia de salud pública creada en 2024 para redirigir los ahorros hacia la atención primaria, los centros locales de servicios comunitarios y la reducción de las listas de espera quirúrgicas; la ministra de Salud, Sonia Bélanger, calificó el plan de poco realista.

  3. Negociaciones comerciales dejan preguntas sobre el manejo de la oferta para los lácteos de Quebec. Cobertura sobre un acuerdo comercial Canadá‑EE. UU. señaló las garantías de la oficina del primer ministro de que el sistema de control de oferta se mantendría intacto, mientras que el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump dijo que los aranceles serían “inexistentes” para los agricultores de EE. UU.; los negociadores no han aclarado cambios específicos en cuotas o aranceles.

  4. La Walter Cup falta en la gira del trofeo de las campeonas Montreal Victoire. La PWHL dijo que la versión de la Walter Cup entregada a las Montreal Victoire no llegó a su parada prevista en Lethbridge y que el contenedor de envío llegó vacío; el trofeo (plata de ley, ~35 libras, ~24 pulgadas) debía aparecer con la delantera Dara Greig antes de que se pospusiera su evento público.
