Ayon sa Canada Border Services Agency, diumano ay tumulong si 42-anyos na Abul Kasim sa 65 katao na magsumite ng pekeng aplikasyon para sa temporary resident visa mula 13 Enero 2022 hanggang 19 Marso 2024, at inayos ang pagpasok para sa 53 tao gamit ang mga pekeng visa; nadiskubre ang mga ebidensya kaugnay nito sa isang search warrant sa kanyang tirahan sa Montreal noong 8 Mayo 2025.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Ibibigay ng Montreal ang body cameras sa 3,500 opisyal; lungsod naghanda ng 40 milyong dolyar ng Canada para dito. Inanunsyo ni Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada na bibigyan ng body cameras ang 3,500 pulis at mga 600 patrol vehicles naman ang tatagan ng dashcams at automated licence plate readers, na pinondohan bahagi mula sa 40 milyong dolyar ng Canada na inilaan ng lungsod sa badyet ngayong taon.

  3. Pinakiusapan ng premier ng Quebec ang mga pamilya na bumili ng $25 ng lokal na produkto linggu-linggo para injeksyon na $3 bilyon sa ekonomiya.

  4. Parti Québécois nangangakong gibain ang Santé Québec kung magkakapanalo, ilalaan ang pondo sa direktang pangangalaga. Sinabi ng lider ng PQ na si Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon na bubuwagin nila ang pampublikong ahensiyang pangkalusugan na nilikha noong 2024 upang ilaan ang matitipid sa primary care, lokal na CLSC at pagbawas ng pila para sa operasyon — panukalang tinawag na hindi makatotohanan ni Health Minister Sonia Bélanger.

  5. Mayor ng Montreal at police chief mag-aanunsiyo ng bagong hakbang para sa pampublikong kaligtasan. Nakaiskedyul ang mga opisyal ng lungsod na maglabas ng anunsiyo ng mga bagong hakbang na naglalayong palakasin ang pampublikong kaligtasan sa Montreal; pinangunahan ng mayor at police chief ang planadong briefing na inilatag bilang tugon ng munisipyo sa tumitinding alalahanin sa kaligtasan sa lungsod.
