Two police officers faced resistance early Monday during a routine traffic stop in Villeray. A suspect even tried to disarm one of the policewomen. All told, four people were arrested. TVA tries to link the story to June’s shooting of a police officer in Côte‑des‑Neiges, but although these officers work from the same station, there’s little else to tie the incidents together.

Kate,
I’m pretty sure some red seats remainMarcG
According to this reddit thread from 2 years ago it seems like they removed the seats from the atrium but have some upstairs in a hidden memory lane area.

I’ve been to the forum recently. The seats have indeed been removed from the atrium, as MarcG mentioned. They put tables and chairs, for the food food shops, instead. I couldn’t spot the statue of the yelling fan that used to sit in the stands, either. There are a couple of red seats left on the upper floors, near the Comedy Nest and/or Dawson classrooms, but they are cordoned off so no one can get near them.

I will give them credit, they have succeeded in turning it into a nice hangout for Dawson students and other random passersby. The heritage aspects were nice, but at some point it’s better to provide for existing users than to be a perpetual memorial.

A man was found injured in the Sud-Ouest borough late Wednesday, and later died in hospital. He’s the city’s 13th homicide of the year. The Journal makes the location Ville‑Émard.
