Update: Deadly shooting in Laval 'could be linked to organized crime'
The Sûreté du Québec is investigating the death of a young man who was gunned down just before closing time at the car dealership in Laval where he worked as a sales manager for the business owned by his family.
A spokesperson for the Laval police said its officers were alerted to the shooting at 8:50 p.m. Thursday after someone called 911 to report gunfire at Automobile Vinci Inc., on Lévesque Blvd. W. near the corner of 91st Ave. in the city’s Ste-Dorothé -
Breaking down Quebec parties' positions on religious symbols, crucifix
Premier-designate François Legault says his position on barring some government workers from wearing religious symbols is supported by two other Quebec parties. And he cites the Bouchard-Taylor Commission as evidence of a consensus in Quebec.
“I had a clear mandate, and it’s the consensus of Quebecers and Bouchard-Taylor,” Legault told an interviewer soon after his Oct. 1 election victory.
“We have three parties out of four at the National Assembly that agree -
Mafia leader Francesco Del Balso charged with threatening TVA reporter
A Montreal Mafia leader already well known for his ability to intimidate and threaten people has been charged with threatening a TVA reporter who recently did a story about him.
Project Colisée, a lengthy police investigation in the Montreal Mafia, not only revealed that Francesco (Chit) Del Balso, 48, was a leader in the Rizzuto organization (before his arrest in 2006) but that he was also very adept at threatening people. Several conversations recorded during the investigation involved -
Michel Tremblay's Les Belles-soeurs still singing at 50
It has been 50 years since the 15 ladies of Michel Tremblay’s Les Belles-soeurs began lamenting their “maudite vie plate” in a Rue Fabre apartment. Since that first production, directed by André Brassard in August 1968 at Théâtre du Rideau Vert, the show has played all over the world in countless languages, including Yiddish, Japanese and Scots, the latter in a celebrated 1989 version called The Guid Sisters (which Serge Denoncourt directed in Edinburgh in 2 -
Canadiens coach Claude Julien starts juggling his lines
It’s only three games into the season and Canadiens coach Claude Julien is already juggling his lines.
The main reason is the fact Jonathan Drouin is still looking for his first point after being moved from centre to wing this season and has only five shots on goal with a minus-1 while averaging 16:38 of ice time per game. Drouin was also held pointless in the four pre-season games he played while going minus-6.
Drouin started the season playing left wing on a line with rookie centre Jespe -
Caisse de dépôt, Engie plan to offer up to $9B for Petrobras pipeline
The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and French utility Engie SA plan to offer as much as $9 billion for Petrobras’s natural gas pipeline network, potentially a $1-billion boost from their initial bid, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA is now finalizing terms with Engie and pension fund manager the Caisse, the people said, asking not to be named because the talks are private. Petrobras then plans to touch base with other grou -
Canadiens Notebook: Some high praise for former GM Serge Savard
The Canadiens honoured their 1993 Stanley Cup championship team before Thursday night’s home opener against the Los Angeles Kings at the Bell Centre.
The Canadiens haven’t won another Cup since and Lyle Odelein — a defenceman on that 1993 team — thinks he knows why.
“The Montreal Canadiens, to me, they should never have got rid of (general manager) Serge Savard for one thing,” Odelein said. “The team has never been the same since. This guy was by fa -
What the Puck: Habs' wheels come off as Price struggles in home opener
The dream is over. That’s it for the honeymoon.
Two games in, there was an unusual sentiment among Canadiens fans, something I hadn’t heard for a while. People were enthusiastic, even mildly optimistic. Three points out of four on a road trip against two top-tier teams in the Toronto Maple Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins. We weren’t planning the parade, but there was a lot of talk about how this was fun hockey to watch, that Les Boys were hard to play against.
Then the big boys c -
Editorial: 'It's not the voting … it's the counting'
“It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.”
— Playwright Tom Stoppard, in Jumpers
Quebec’s director-general of elections, Pierre Reid, says he plans to act with “rigour and speed” to get to the bottom of vote-counting irregularities in the riding of Gaspé and will take whatever action is necessary. Quebecers expect no less.
In the meantime, a judicial recount has overturned what had first been announced as a narrow Liber -
Macpherson: Unravelling the CAQ's proposed hijab-and-kippah ban
François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec government-elect hasn’t been sworn in yet, let alone faced the National Assembly. And already, its proposed hijab-and-kippah ban is unravelling like the proverbial cheap sweater, every time somebody picks at another loose thread.
The CAQ would forbid provincial government employees in “positions of authority,” including teachers, from wearing religious symbols at work, such as the head scarf worn by some Muslim wome -
Jonathan Bettez acquitted of all child pornography charges
TROIS-RIVIÈRES – Jonathan Bettez was acquitted Friday morning on all child pornography charges he was facing.
Quebec Court Judge Jacques Lacoursière also quashed search warrants that police used to seize electronic materials belonging to Bettez, which were part of the evidence used against him.
Crown prosecutor Jean-Marc Poirier said Friday he will review the judge’s decision before deciding whether to appeal.
Bettez’s lawyer, Marc-Antoine Carette, said he was sat -
Rufus Wainwright reaches for operatic heights with Hadrian
“Today?” Rufus Wainwright said when asked to name his three favourite operas.

“Don Carlos,” he started, specifying through his pronunciation the original French version of Verdi’s grand opera.
“Salome,” he continued, referring to Richard Strauss’s one-act biblical shocker.
“And I’m a big fan of Jenůfa.” That would be Janáček’s heartbreaking tale of a single mother in a Moravian village.

Update: Équiterre founder steps down, won't rule out running for office
One of Quebec’s best-known environmentalists is leaving the organization he helped found 25 years ago.
Steven Guilbeault announced Friday that he is stepping down as senior director and spokesperson for Montreal-based Équiterre.
Guilbeault and a group of environmentalists founded the citizens’ group in 1993. It now has more than 20,000 members. He left the group to work with Greenpeace for 10 years, but returned to assume the leadership of Équiterre in 2007.

Bill Zacharkiw: Planting the future of Armenia’s wine industry
Last week I wrote about Armenia’s wine history, which can be traced back to 4000 BC. But the modern Armenian wine industry “is not 6,000 years old — it’s closer to six,” quips Yeraz Gharibian, co-owner of Zorah, one of my favourite Armenian wineries.“Our culture, our transcripts, our songs are filled with references to wine,” explains Gharibian. “But up until recently, there was no wine.”

While you were sleeping: Habs drop opener, Francophonie drops Jean

“No doubt we were rusty,” Julien said. “Where we were used to making one or two passes to get out of our own end, there were pucks in the skates or weren&rsquo -

Montreal real estate: H3C project targets families, first time buyers

Tips on how to ease gridlock — from a guy who should know
“Common sense, that’s all it is,” Mohammad El Rez bellows.
The object of El Rez’s indignation is a construction site on Sherbrooke St. W. that has reduced traffic to one lane in either direction and has created massive gridlock. And this is before rush hour, when it will get exponentially worse.
“A few weeks ago, the same area was blocked up when they were working on the sidewalks there,” El Rez says. “So why wouldn’t it occur to someone to have do -

He was wrong.

Fake news? Visa lottery scam? Facebook fact checker has daunting task
This week, Immigration Canada was inundated with calls from people who wanted to know how to get on the list for a new visa lottery.
Immigration Canada doesn’t hold a lottery for entry into the country, and has no plans to do so. However, a false story making the rounds in Ghana and Nigeria misled thousands into thinking they could be picked at random for Canadian citizenship.

Brendan Kelly: Newly-published Leonard Cohen poem skewers Kanye West
It turns out that Leonard Cohen wrote a poem about Kanye West. Let’s be polite and say Cohen seems to have liked Kanye about as much as Taylor Swift does — as in, not very much.
