🏛️ Pamahalaan at Pulitika

  1. Magbobotohan ang Montreal council sa mosyon na i-suspend ang institusyonal na ugnayan sa Israel. Ang mosyon ng Projet Montréal, na naka-iskedyul para sa pulong ng konseho ngayong Lunes, humihiling na i-suspend ng lungsod ang ugnayan sa pamahalaang Israeli at mga munisipalidad at ideklara ang umano’y isang apartheid na rehimen; sinuportahan ang panukala ng Montreal Anti‑Apartheid at ito ay magiging municipal‑level na suspensyon ng institusyonal na relasyon.
  2. Nagsimula ang kampanya para sa halalan sa Quebec na may usapang referendum at banta sa kalakalan mula sa U.S. Ayon sa mga analyst, inaasahang si Christine Fréchette ang magpapasimula ng kampanya bago ang pangkalahatang halalan sa 5 Oktubre, kung saan nangunguna sa mga survey ang Parti Québécois at isinusulong ang soberanya at hidwaan sa kalakalan sa U.S. bilang mga tema ng kampanya.
  3. Pederal na pamahalaan naglaan ng 11.3 bilyong dolyar ng Canada para magtayo ng anim na icebreaker sa Lévis. Inanunsyo ni Punong Ministro Mark Carney ang 11.3 bilyong dolyar ng Canada na kontrata sa shipbuilding sa Chantier Davie, sinabi niyang magsisimula ang konstruksyon ngayong taglagas at susuporta ang proyekto sa humigit-kumulang 5,000 trabaho habang ginagawa ang mga barko.
  4. Naghahanda ang Canada ng ‘dollar‑for‑dollar’ na taripa kasunod ng bagong 50% na buwis ng U.S. sa 28 bilyong dolyar ng mga export. Sinabi ng pederal na pamahalaan na tutugon matapos pumasok ang bisa ng bagong 50% na taripa ng U.S. sa 28 bilyong dolyar ng export ng Canada; ipinangako ang mga detalye ng countermeasures “maagang bahagi ng susunod na linggo.”
  5. LaSalle College nag‑file para sa proteksyon ng creditors dahil sa halos 48 milyong dolyar ng Canada na utang sa Quebec. Sinabi ng pribadong kolehiyo sa Montreal sa Quebec Superior Court na humigit‑kumulang 48 milyong dolyar ng Canada ang utang nito sa pamahalaang probinsyal — kasama ang mahigit 29 milyong dolyar ng Canada na multa dahil lumampas sa quota ng English‑program — at nakatanggap ng 10‑arawang proteksyon habang naghahanap ng kasunduan sa pagbayad; suspendido ang mga klase hanggang maibalik ang subsidiya.

🎨 Komunidad at Kultura

  1. Trilingual na Tamil na taga‑Quebec: ang proteksyon ng wika humubog sa kanyang pagkakakilanlan. Isinaysay ng isang residente ng Montreal kung paano ang pagpapangalaga sa Pranses, kasabay ng Tamil at isa pang wika, ang humuhubog sa kanyang pagkakakilanlan at pang-araw‑araw na buhay sa linguistikong tanawin ng Quebec.
  2. Natagpuan at naibalik ang nawawalang keeper trophy ng Montreal Victoire na Walter Cup. Inihayag ng Professional Women’s Hockey League na ang 35‑pound, 24‑inch na replica ng Walter Cup ng koponan ay nawala sa padala noong nakaraang linggo at ngayon ay natagpuan at naibalik sa Victoire; nananatili ang orihinal na championship cup sa Hockey Hall of Fame sa Toronto.
