La Presse has a lot more details, including that the pleasure boat was going at high speed and fled the scene, meaning there could be criminal charges. It also correctly notes this is a Navark boat (which operates service for the ARTM), unlike the CTV article which incorrectly calls it an “STM river shuttle”, even though the STM has nothing to do with this. But CTV published first, so I guess that’s what counts. La Releve published a few minutes after CTV, with quotes photos from the scene that La Presse presumably paid for, given it’s the same La Releve photographer. The local pubs are really putting the national media to shame, especially as Bell cut some more technicians yesterday.

Thank you, Nicholas.
Hit-and-runs even on the river!
