Man shot dead in Place de la Paix
A man was shot dead early Tuesday in Place de la Paix, the small square on St‑Laurent near René‑Lévesque. There has not yet been an arrest.
Tuesday, Chloé’s cartoon shows 12 feminicides in Quebec in 2025. On updating the 2025 incident map just now I was struck by an imbalance: in 21 homicides on the island of Montreal so far this year, 20 were of men or boys. No woman has been killed here since January. I don’t know what this says about Montreal vs. the rest of Quebec but it’s interesting.

Irony. Does it need to be renamed to Place des troubles or would that fail the OLF and have to be renamed again to Place d’inquiétude
