How horrible. Hoping the victim survives and can resume a full and normal life.
As depicted in the Radio-Canada photo, that courthouse is a major eyesore.

Paul Arcand in his press review this morning referred to an article in the Journal de Montréal which lists the thousands of dangerous items taken from people at the Montreal courthouse, which unlike Longueuil does have metal detectors:

I think a steel-barreled ballpoint pen would be a better stabbing weapon than a corkscrew, I wonder if they get seized too?

I was called to jury duty at some point before Covid, and found that getting into the Montreal courthouse was pretty much like boarding a plane.
In a way it’s a pity, as anyone should be able to walk in and watch justice being done without being challenged, but this week’s incident shows why it’s not safe.
