Lawyers Demand Justice After Quebec Teen’s Death

Lawyers representing the family of Nooran Rezayi , a 15-year-old boy fatally shot by police in Longueuil, Quebec, are calling for accountability after allegations of interference in the investigation. Rezayi was killed on September 21, 2025 , in a suburban neighborhood south of Montreal. Quebec’s police watchdog (BEI) has accused local officers of questioning witnesses and attempting to obtain video footage , actions that could compromise the independence of the probe.

Canada on Edge: Awaiting Trump's Steel and Aluminum Tariff Decision

 

Canada's steel and aluminum industries are bracing for potential economic turbulence as they await U.S. President Donald Trump's decision on imposing 25% tariffs on imports of these metals. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed that the tariffs would apply to "any steel coming into the United States" and "aluminum, too".

The Canadian government is closely monitoring the situation, with Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne asserting that the government will "stand up for Canada, our workers, and our industries". The federal government faces mounting pressure from industry leaders and opposition parties to retaliate swiftly if Trump follows through on his threat.

Catherine Cobden, head of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, warned that the tariffs would have a devastating impact on both sides of the border, affecting industries from energy to construction. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh have both called for retaliatory measures, with Poilievre suggesting the proceeds be used to support the steel and aluminum industry and provide tax relief.

This is not the first time Canada's steel and aluminum sectors have been targeted by Trump. In 2018, similar tariffs caused significant disruptions and economic harm on both sides of the border. As Canada waits for the official announcement, the stakes are high, and the potential economic fallout looms large.
