As shoppers look to buy local amid the threat of a trade war with the U.S., we examined what makes a real Quebec-made product.

The Montreal Canadiens are kicking off 2025 on a high note by cleaning up game after game after game. The expression goes 'New Year, new me,' but maybe it should be 'new year, new team' for the red-hot Habs. The club is on a seven-game winning streak.

"There is so much going right, right now," Wilde said.

A holiday bust in Quebec's Lanaudière region led to the discovery of stolen vehicles worth an estimated $1 million, provincial police said Thursday. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) says information led police to warehouses last week in l'Épiphanie, located about 50 kilometres northeast of Montreal. A stolen SUV from Montreal was first found on Dec. 27. "Warrants were obtained to check the entire lot and buildings," police said.

Is there a better way to celebrate the new year than with a newborn? A handful of Quebec parents rang in 2025 with little bundles of joy. Baby boy Aryan was born just as the clock struck midnight at St-Mary's Hospital in Montreal. "Congratulations to the new parents and welcome Aryan!," regional health authority CIUSSS de l'Ouest de l'Île de Montréal wrote on social media.
