Gabrielle Giroux says she was a 14-year-old girl shopping at an Outaouais mall when she met the man who sold her to human traffickers. Over the next five years, the man used grooming tactics to build a relationship of trust and affection. When she was 19, he sold her to an exploitation network – a network where she was beaten, raped and made to have sex for money. “There was no alarm in my head… Nothing sexual, it seemed fine,” Giroux, now 27, told Radio-Canada in a French-language interview....

The allegations — which came on the same day a close ally of Vladimir Putin said Russia had previously meddled in the U.S. election — are likely to heighten concerns about the scope of foreign intrusion into Canadian domestic politics....

Après la décision du Conseil d’Etat obligeant l’exécutif à instituer un contrôle technique pour les motocyclistes début 2023, les réactions auprès des propriétaires de deux-roues motorisés sont vives. “C’est une erreur de croire que le contrôle technique des motos améliorera la qualité de l’air et réduira les accidents de la circulation, comme le suggèrent les associations de protection de l’environnement, fustige Jean-Marc Belotti, coordinateur, pour Paris et sa petite couronne, de la Fédération française des motards en colère....
