For some reason both Le Devoir (3 pieces) and La Presse (2 pieces) are focusing on sunscreen and sunblock this weekend.
La Presse also notes we’re expecting a heat wave just in time for Moving Day. More on this from TVA.

La Presse has made a visual montage showing how events played out on Monday when the shooting occurred.
The Journal talked to a psychiatrist from the Pinel Institute about what might motivate someone like Hatfield.
The family of policeman Mohamed Benredouane is appealing to the public not to circulate the video of his killing and to report anyone who does.
A lot of things have been written about the incident – Saturday morning, a quick Google News sweep shows a story about how one of the victims was a rabbi (he wasn’t), how the attacker was determined to kill police, or was attacking the Jewish community, and plenty of stuff about “incel ideology”. Everyone writing seems determined to put Hatfield in a box with other killers and put a familiar label on it.

I heard someone on the radio say “grab the SPF” when they meant use sunscreen. Has SPF now become a term for sunscreen, or was that just a one-off usage of the term, I wonder.

EG, not a one-off. I’ve heard it too. While I wouldn’t say it’s common usage (yet) it’s going that way.
