Montreal mayor wants Quebec to appoint homelessness minister
Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante is asking the Quebec government to appoint a "top gun" for homelessness ahead of an expected provincial cabinet shuffle. She made the request at a news conference during which she also proposed $22.5 million to tackle homelessness. Quebec Premier François Legault has announced he will shuffle his cabinet this fall, and Plante says it's the right time to have a minister dedicated to managing what she calls a humanitarian crisis. Plante also announced that city council will study a number of projects, including a $700,000 allocation for shuttle services to transport vulnerable people toward resources. Beginning Wednesday it will also evaluate whether to grant more than $21 million to roughly 40 community organizations over the next three years. Plante said the funds would come from the city, but she's also encouraging other levels of government to step up in the fight against homelessness.

Create Account Trump also said in a morning TV interview that Ukraine's hopes of joining NATO and regaining the Crimean Peninsula from Russia are 'impossible.' The Republican president, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders held hours of talks at the White House on Monday aimed at bringing an end to Russia's war against Ukraine. While answering questions from journalists, Trump did not rule out sending U.S. troops to participate in a European-led effort to defend Ukraine as part of security guarantees sought by Zelenskyy. Trump said after his meeting in Alaska last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin that Putin was open to the idea of security guarantees for Ukraine. But asked Tuesday on Fox News Channel's 'Fox & Friends' what assurances he could provide going forward and beyond his term that American troops would not be part of defending Ukraine's border, Trump said, 'Well, you have my assurance, and I'm president.' Trump would have no control over the U.S. military after his terms ends in January 2029. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The president also said in the interview that he is optimistic that a deal can be reached to end the Russian invasion, but he underscored that Ukraine will have to set aside its hope of getting back Crimea, which was seized by Russian forces in 2014, and its long-held aspirations of joining the NATO military alliance. 'Both of those things are impossible,' Trump said. Putin, as part of any potential deal to pull his forces out of Ukraine, is looking for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as recognition of Crimea as Russian territory.
