Police in Montreal (SPVM) have seized more than 170 kilograms of contraband shisha tobacco worth around $75,000 in a raid of a cafe in the Saint-Laurent borough.
Multiple major routes in and around Montreal will closed on the weekend as road construction picks up for the summer. Drivers are best to avoid the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine Tunnel, the Metropolitaine Expressway heading east between the Decarie and Laurentians interchanges and the Saint-Pierre Interchange.
Calls to reduce the speed limit along Ste-Croix Avenue in Saint-Laurent are growing. The borough says it is looking into ways to improve road safety on the artery.
