THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi MONTREAL — A man who's been on the list of Canada's top 25 most wanted fugitives for murder and drug trafficking charges dating back to 2022 has been arrested after police say he returned to Canada. Quebec provincial police say officers from the Sûreté du Québec Airport Unit, the Mascouche Major Crime Investigation Division and the Canada Border Services Agency arrested Jonathan Ouellet-Gendron at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport on Saturday. They say Ouellet-Gendron, who was first wanted on several Canada-wide warrants by police in Saskatoon, was arrested as he was returning to the country. A Saskatoon Police Service news release from May 2022 says Ouellet-Gendron was first sought by police after being identified as a suspect in a homicide that occurred in the 700 Block of Melrose Avenue. He was added to the Bolo Program — a list identifying the top 25 most wanted fugitives in Canada — in May 2023, taking the 10th spot. Quebec police say Ouellet-Gendron is expected to appear in a Montreal courthouse Sunday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 9, 2025. The Canadian Press

Quebec police urge caution on the road after fatal collisions during construction holiday
A Surete du Quebec police car is seen at their headquarters in Montreal on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi The many road collisions that have occurred across Quebec since the start of the construction holiday have prompted the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) to issue a new call for caution for the rest of the summer vacation period. The provincial police force is reporting 17 deaths in 14 collisions since the start of the construction holiday, which has been underway for just over a week. That includes both on- and off-road collisions. In 2024, during the entire construction holiday period, 14 people lost their lives in 13 fatal collisions on the road network, while four deaths occurred in collisions involving an off-road vehicle. According to the SQ, the toll for the first week of this year's construction holiday calls for a reminder of basic safety tips. 'If we want to reverse the trend, everyone must do their part. We must slow down, be vigilant and, above all, be in a fit state to drive when we get behind the wheel,' said Sgt. Ève Brochu-Joubert in a video posted on the SQ's social media accounts. 'We know that many people are on vacation. If you want to continue enjoying them with your family and friends, please be careful on the roads,' she added. According to the SQ, the construction holiday period is always a time when the number of collisions with fatalities and injuries are particularly high. The provincial police force had already announced that it would be stepping up its presence on the roads, waterways, and trails from July 18 to Aug. 3. In 2024, during the summer holidays, failure to obey traffic signs, speeding, impaired driving, and failure to wear safety equipment were the causes of most fatal and serious collisions, according to the SQ. - This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on July 29, 2025.

Create Account Emergency services were called to the Ste-Sophie Blvd. establishment at about 1 p.m., Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Stéphane Tremblay said on Sunday. The victim was transported in critical condition to a hospital, where her death was declared later that afternoon. The driver of the vehicle, a 16-year-old male, was uninjured but taken to a hospital to be treated for nervous shock. He had a learner's permit and was accompanied in the vehicle by at least one parent, said Tremblay. Security camera footage of the incident showed the young driver approach a parking spot in front of the establishment slowly: He then appears to have stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake and hit the picnic table at Les Sentiers des Saveurs at which the victim, a St-Jérôme resident, was seated. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The initial police report said no criminal element was suspected and attributed the event to a wrong move made as a result of inexperience. The vehicle crashed through the establishment's glass window. A young girl who was with the victim was slightly injured, Tremblay said. The temperature hit 32 degrees Celsius in Ste-Sophie on Saturday and dozens of people were in line waiting for ice cream or other refreshments when the collision took place. There were a number of witnesses to the incident and Les Sentiers des Saveurs closed for the rest of the day. Several witnesses and patrons posted comments on the establishment's Facebook page on Saturday praising the actions of staff and those who came to the aid of the victim. A post on Sunday said: 'Following yesterday's events, if any of you who were present at the site or if a loved one was, do not hesitate to contact 811 a crisis management cell is there to take care of you. … Let's look out for each other.' An investigator specializing in accident reconstruction was at the scene Saturday to establish the causes and circumstances of the event and photos of the scene were taken, Tremblay said. As well, the coroner asked for an assessment of the vehicle. The coroner is automatically involved when a collision involves a fatality, he explained. NFL Editorial Cartoons Golf Uncategorized Golf
