Body found, 6 missing after fire at illegal AirBnB in Canada – MONTREALINABOX

Comment

MONTREAL — Montreal’s mayor vowed Monday to tighten regulation of Airbnb as a search continued for six people missing after a fire swept through a building that included Airbnb units in a historic city section where they are banned.

Firefighters initially thought there was one person missing in the blaze last Thursday in the eastern Canadian city. However, reports emerged later of illegal Airbnb units in the more than 130-year-old building, and authorities updated the missing over the weekend to seven — including some from the United States.

Montreal police reported pulling the body of a woman from the rubble Sunday evening.

Montreal police Insp. David Shane said the six who are still missing are from Quebec, Ontario and the U.S., adding that investigators have contacted their families. The fire last Thursday also injured nine people, including two who were hospitalized.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante said the building included illegal Airbnb units as well as an architect’s office. Plante said Airbnb should have demanded that unit owners provide a permit number from the Quebec provincial government.

“What happened here is a complete tragedy,” Plante said. “Clearly, we would not be in this position if we…

UFOs identified after video viewed nearly half a million times – MONTREALINABOX

A video of two bizarre sets of lights spotted floating through the sky above Montreal has gone viral, racking up 434,000 views on Twitter.

The video, posted by the account @LatestUFOs, shows two sets of four lights flying in a triangle formation above the Canadian city, 12 minutes apart.

“What the f***, that is not a goddamn airplane – why the f*** is it so f****** close? What the actual f*** is that? What the f***?,” the person behind the camera can be heard saying as they watch the first set of lights.

“I’m shaking right now, I’m not even gonna lie, I’m f****** shaking. That s*** did not look like a f****** airplane, but that was really f***ing close to the ground and I am not near an airport.”

Twelve minutes later as the second set flies by, the person said: “That one sounded more like multiple planes, but the other one had a very deep humming, and there’s no base nearby—I don’t know what’s going on.”

UFOs, also known as UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) are aerial objects that cannot be immediately explained. These strange phenomena have captured the imaginations of people around the world for hundreds of…

Man leads police on 12-km chase after driving 136 km/h on Décarie Expressway: SQ – MONTREALINABOX

Article content

An 18-year-old man was arrested early Tuesday morning after allegedly driving at 136 kilometres per hour on the Décarie Expressway, then leading police on a 12-kilometre chase.

Article content

The Sûreté du Québec said its officers tried to stop the vehicle on the Décarie northbound near Queen Mary Rd. at 2:15 a.m., but the driver didn’t co-operate.

He sped onto the eastbound Metropolitan Autoroute, eventually taking the Iberville Ave. exit and then screeching to a stop on 9th Ave., hitting a car in the process.

He attempted to flee on foot, but officers quickly caught up to him, the SQ said.

The driver is expected to face a series of charges including dangerous driving, fleeing from a police officer and possession of property obtained by crime.

In addition, he faces a $1,330 fine with 14 demerit points for excessive speeding. He was allegedly driving at twice the speed limit — 136 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. His licence was suspended for seven days.

Trudeau Foundation donors wanted statue of communist dictator Mao Zedong in Montreal: Report – MONTREALINABOX

Donors to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the University of Montreal reportedly wanted to erect a statue of Chinese communist leader Chairman Mao Zedong at the institution’s law school alongside one of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

“They suggested one of Trudeau and Mao together,” University of Montreal spokesperson Geneviève O’Meara told Canadian news outlet The Globe and Mail in a report published Tuesday. 

The former prime minister and father of current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau established diplomatic relations between Canada and China in the early 1970s and eventually traveled to Beijing where he met and shook hands with Chairman Mao in October 1973.
