Quebec City

The RCMP say a terror suspect arrested in Montreal was living in Canada illegally at the time of the arrest. The arrest in Quebec's largest city has drawn attention to border enforcement and how the individual entered and remained in the country. Details about the suspect's identity, the alleged plot or any charges have not been widely reported, and authorities are expected to provide more information as the investigation proceeds.

The Service de police de la ville de Québec issued a public warning about pickpockets operating in the area. Local media, including the Beauce-based outlet Ma Beauce, relayed the advisory, urging residents and visitors to stay alert and protect their belongings in crowded places.

Quebecers are looking ahead to the province's 2026 general election, scheduled for October 5. Local coverage reports that preparations are complete in cities such as Rimouski, while analysts highlight 16 key races to watch across the province. Interest in advance voting options for the 2026 ballot is growing as the campaign takes shape.
