MONTREAL A group of Universite de Quebec a Montreal (UQAM) students are calling hypocrisy after the university made moves to sue a student for posting suggestive photos of herself on social media with the school s logo. PhD students Cato Fortin and Stephanie Roussel began a reaction campaign by posting pictures of themselves in lingerie with UQAM s logo and their degrees in the images along with the hashtag #papauqam in support of Helene Boudreau, the student being sued. Boudreau operates an Onlyfans account, a website where users create adult content for subscribers. She is alleged to have used the UQAM imagery in the account.
MONTREAL After reporting over 1,300 COVID-19 cases for the first time since January on Friday, Quebec reported Saturday that 1,282 more people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the past 24 hours bringing the total number of infections in the province to 314,958 since the start of the pandemic. Of those, 294,560 are said to have recovered from the disease, an increase of 993. The Quebec Institute of Public Health (INSPQ) is reporting that there are 9,714 active COVID-19 cases in the province, an increase of 286 from Friday.

MONTREAL I really, really have a big belly pain,” said Eve Tougas, an 11 year-old Montreal girl, describing her day-to-day struggle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This month is IBS awareness month. The large intestine disorder is common, but rarely talked about, leaving many people to suffer alone. Among them are children like Eve, who has suffered regular stomach pain since she was just five years-old. “To see your daughter suffer without having the power to do something about it is distressing,” said Marie-Eve Richard, Eve’s mother. But, things began to change for Eve last year after meeting with Dr. Veronique Groleau, a paediatric gastroenterologist at Ste-Justine hospital, who put her what’s called the low-FODMAP diet.
MONTREAL A man who walked into Quebec to seek asylum is set to be deported on Monday to what his lawyer calls “just about certain death,” at the hands of his own father. Samer, a 33-year-old man originally from Jordan, tried to apply for refugee status on the grounds that he’s bisexual. In a letter his lawyer says was filed at the Immigration and Refugee Board hearing, Samer’s relatives describe how he has “shamed the family,” and detailed how they’ll kill him if he returns home: by burning him or throwing him off a building. Past similar deaths prove Jordanian authorities won’t intervene, he says.
It was an entertaining back-and-forth game with Montreal trying to pull even with the Sens throughout the evening. Anton Forsberg had a good night in the Ottawa goal, putting up 35 saves.
