Deer Followed Me on My Jog | Montreal News
A jogger in Kenora, Ontario, had an unforgettable wildlife moment when a mama deer and her fawn ran alongside her—almost like they were tagging along for the ride.

Ukraine Finds Body of Wanted Bomb Plotter | Montreal News
Ukraine’s SBU shocks the world by uncovering the body of wanted Ukrainian national Anastasiia Berezovska—linked to a deadly Monaco bombing that injured a Ukrainian billionaire and his family. A military officer confessed to killing her, aided by a former law enforcement officer, while both were secretly funding her through crypto and bank accounts. Authorities found a basement resembling a torture chamber at the latter’s home. Berezovska’s corpse, shot in the head, was found near Kyiv. The attack, traced to her travels across Europe using a German-plate rental car, triggered an Interpol red notice. SBU and Monaco now team up to hunt down the mastermind behind the assassination of Vadym Yermolaiev—a sanctioned figure tied to Crimea.

Jeremy Hansen’s Space Legacy Continues | Montreal News
Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen is stepping down from the astronaut corps this fall after returning from the historic Artemis II moon mission, but his journey isn’t ending—he’ll continue serving as a reservist with the Royal Canadian Air Force. His departure signals the close of an era, yet it also celebrates the diverse, inspiring paths Canadian astronauts take post-flight: from politics and science to music, books, and even the nation’s highest honor. Marc Garneau became a federal minister, Roberta Bondar turned to research and public outreach, Chris Hadfield soared into music and media, and Julie Payette rose to become Governor General. Hansen’s next chapter promises to be just as extraordinary. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

CANADA Act Targets Alcohol Bans | Montreal News
A new U.S. bill, the CANADA Act, aims to crack down on Canadian provinces blocking American alcohol sales, with Rep. Claudia Tenney leading the charge. Eight Canadian provinces imposed bans in March 2025 in retaliation for Trump-era tariffs and rhetoric, causing U.S. wine exports to plummet 78%. WineAmerica and other industry groups back the bill, seeing it as vital to restore fair market access—not as a trade weapon. The legislation would empower the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate and penalize discriminatory liquor restrictions, potentially triggering new tariffs on Canadian goods. Until broader trade deals resolve existing tensions, these alcohol bans remain in place, turning Canadian liquor boards into leverage in ongoing negotiations.

Coney Island Barbecue Shooting | Montreal News
A horrific barbecue shooting in Coney Island left eight people injured, including a six-year-old boy shot in the stomach and a 21-year-old woman in critical condition. The gunman, dressed in all black with a ski mask, opened fire before fleeing — no prior argument was reported. A TEC-9 and shell casings were found. All four children are expected to survive, while adults remain stable except the critically injured woman. Authorities are probing a possible link to a recent gang homicide on the same block. Separately, an NYPD detective was shot during a Sunday morning patrol in Brooklyn but survived thanks to his bulletproof vest; the 18-year-old suspect was taken into custody after a tense standoff. Both incidents underscore the escalating violence and danger faced by communities and officers during holiday weekends.

Canada Picks German Subs for Fleet Upgrade | Montreal News
Canada is poised to make a historic defense move by selecting Germany’s TKMS to build twelve next-gen submarines, potentially worth over $100 billion over 30 years — a deal that could reshape its navy and deepen ties with Europe. With current subs set to retire by the early 2030s, the fast-tracked decision, possibly announced before the NATO summit, signals a major leap in military spending and a strategic pivot toward Europe amid shifting global alliances. The German-Norwegian bid, offering Type 212CD subs with delivery starting by 2036, could redefine Canada’s undersea capabilities and cement its role as a committed NATO partner.

Unions are pushing back, questioning the policy’s motives and even launching a legal challenge, calling it a one-size-fits-all solution that prioritizes real estate over workers. Transit agencies are preparing for a surge in ridership, adding capacity and running double-car trains.

Swim to Survive Push After Canal Tragedy | Montreal News
Two drownings in the Lachine Canal have reignited calls for permanent funding of The Lifesaving Society’s “Swim to Survive” program, as nearly half of all children in Canada can’t swim — putting them at serious risk. With 22 drownings this year — matching last year’s total — rivers are now responsible for 60% of incidents, up from 27%, despite lower water levels. Newcomers are disproportionately affected, prompting outreach in multiple languages and urgent swimming education. Experts warn that even those who can swim often don’t practice it, and water safety awareness is critical. When helping someone in distress, throw them a flotation device — don’t jump in. Over half of drowning deaths involve rescue attempts, often by untrained individuals. The recent canal rescue, involving hours of sonar and multiple agencies, highlights the life-or-death stakes of water safety.

Iran’s New Leader in Shadows | Montreal News
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an airstrike, triggering a seismic shift as his sons and top officials made unprecedented public appearances at his funeral — a stark contrast to wartime secrecy. His successor, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, remains hidden, possibly wounded, as Israel threatens him and Iran negotiates with the U.S. over war-ending terms and Strait of Hormuz access. Crowds at the funeral chanted for vengeance, targeting U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, with one speaker shouting, “Why is Trump still alive?” — met with roaring approval. Amid ongoing U.S. surveillance of Iranian threats — rooted in the 2020 killing of Soleimani — Iran denies plotting against Trump, even as propaganda long suggested he’s a target. Trump himself has repeatedly threatened Iran. Khamenei’s body will be carried across Iran to Iraq for further mourning, halting peace talks and giving Iran leverage through control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Farage Under Fire Over Unreported Benefits | Montreal News
Nigel Farage faces fresh political fire as Parliament’s standards watchdog investigates new claims he failed to declare benefits—including security, social media help, and housing—received from a close ally before his 2024 election. This follows an ongoing probe into a £5 million crypto donation, which he insists was a personal gift for security and thus exempt from disclosure. With Reform UK surging in polls and Farage eyed as a potential PM, any breach of financial transparency rules could lead to suspension and a by-election—raising urgent questions about accountability for Britain’s most controversial politician.

Guerrero Jr. Pulls Out for Team | Montreal News
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is stepping away from the All-Star Game despite being named AL starter — his season stats are down, and back issues are the real culprit.

Fans wanted him there, especially after beating out Yankees’ Ben Rice in the vote, but Guerrero Jr.’s maturity in prioritizing the Blue Jays’ second-half push speaks volumes. Meanwhile, other Canadian stars like Cade Smith and Otto Lopez are also shining at the event, proving North America’s growing presence in MLB’s biggest stage.

World Cup Cash Fall Short in Toronto | Montreal News
Toronto hosted the World Cup, but the economic payoff for local bars and restaurants was surprisingly modest—just a 3% uptick in spending, despite international visitors splurging more. While FIFA and event organizers rake in the cash, host cities often shoulder the costs with minimal returns. Yet, the real win? The electric atmosphere and community spirit that turned the city into a global stage. Contrast that with Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, which drove bigger spikes in dining and hotel revenue—proving pop fans might be more wallet-friendly than soccer fans. For Toronto, it’s a bittersweet equation: not a financial jackpot, but unforgettable vibes that linger long after the final whistle.
