Hamilton police arrest 11- and 14-year-old in connection with stolen vehicle probe
A Hamilton Police officer is seen in this undated photo. (Twitter/@HamiltonPolice) An 11-year-old and 14-year-old are facing charges after a stolen vehicle allegedly fled from officers on Tuesday on the Stoney Creek Mountain. Hamilton police said they were called to the area of Rymal and Fletcher roads at around 2:45 a.m. on May 27 after receiving a report of people trying to steal vehicles from driveways. Upon arrival, they say officers spotted a white van 'with approximately 3-5 teens within it,' but said the vehicle's driver sped off when a traffic stop was attempted. Investigators say the van was found unoccupied a short time later on the side of Fletcher Road. Officers searched the area and located an 11- and 14-year-old and arrested both of them. The 14-year-old is now charged with three counts of failing to comply with a release order and one count of possession of property obtained by crime. The 11-year-old cannot be charged under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), which states that 'no person shall be convicted of an offence in respect of an act or omission on his part while that person was under the age of twelve years.' The accused also cannot be identified, according to the act. Hamilton police say they're still searching for more suspects and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 905-546-3886 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Quebec man charged after police say he deliberately hit a woman with his car
A 46-year-old man is facing several charges after Longueuil, Que., police say he deliberately hit a woman with his vehicle. The accused, a Brossard, Que., man, appeared in court on Wednesday and was charged with four offences, including dangerous driving, assault with a weapon — in this case a vehicle — leaving the scene of an accident and mischief. The incident happened at around noon Tuesday on Allard Street, a residential street in Brossard, a South Shore suburb of Montreal. Police said the man did not know the victim, a 44-year-old woman. She was taken to hospital with serious injuries to her legs, but police said they do not fear for her life. The crash happened next to what appears to be a makeshift shelter with one tent set up beside a hedge of cedars. On Wednesday, the encampment was still there, with some personal belongings scattered nearby. Area residents told CBC News the makeshift camp is new and wasn't there on Sunday. CBC has been unable to confirm whether the victim was unhoused or staying at the camp. In an email to CBC, Brossard Mayor Doreen Assaad said the community was "profoundly shaken to learn of the assault," and said her thoughts were with the victim. "We express our full support and solidarity," she wrote.

Sneakers and a suit? It's more the norm for modern business and politics
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau walks with his mother Margaret Trudeau to their seats ahead of King Charles delivering the speech from the throne in the Senate in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. (Chris Young/The Canadian Press) Online fashion police were quick to notice former prime minister Justin Trudeau's footwear at the throne speech on Monday after he complimented a pair of colourful Adidas Gazelles with a blue suit, shirt and tie. Some said the sneakers were too casual for the royal affair, and others dug his kicks. Trudeau's style, however, is not far from trending attire in the workplace. At lunchtime in downtown Montreal on Tuesday, many were using the sidewalk as their catwalk. 'Today, I went with a long tie instead of a bowtie,' said lawyer Ben Jeske. Jeske said he feels more professional wearing a tie, but also that he's an anomaly. 'In my office, most people do not wear neckties,' he said. 'Men will usually wear sport coats or suits with an open collar.' The sans-tie look is not uncommon. Stylist Jeff Golf said workplace style changes over time. 'Maybe 10 or 15 years ago, it would have been unheard of for men to show up at a corporate workplace without a tie,' said the Ludique Personal Fashion stylist. 'Now, our clients are encouraging their teams to not wear ties to the workplace.' Golf said that the casual style started before the pandemic but that casual work fits are even more apparent now as employees return to the office. 'The whole working from home experience forced people into just not having to dress up, and that has remained, in the sense of wanting to still be comfortable, but also looking work appropriate,' said Golf. Bright-coloured sneakers like those Trudeau was wearing stand out in Montreal, as many professionals say comfortable kicks have become a staple of their work attire.

Etiquette expert Julie Blais Comeau said there is a time and place for trainers, but it may not be when greeting royalty. 'When we dress, we communicate,' she said. 'It depends on the activity and where it is. So, yes, the guidelines are evolving.' Belanger was wearing the kind of blue Nike's sneakerheads lust over. 'Don't compare me with Justin Trudeau,' he said. Golf said it's all a way to express personal style, so for businesspeople, the world is their runway.
