In recent news, several significant events have unfolded across Canada and France.

In Canada, Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, has called for the abolition of the temporary foreign worker program. This proposal comes amidst growing concerns from 44% of Canadians about the use of temporary foreign workers.

Meanwhile, in Montreal, the Commercial Development Society has expressed concerns about worker safety in downtown Montreal. The Society has made five official demands to the mayoral candidates, but the nature of these demands remains undisclosed. The STM and Mayor Valérie Plante, however, have unveiled the names of the future stations on the blue metro line.

The aluminum industry in Quebec may receive "hundreds of millions" in aid due to tariffs, although the exact amount of aid has not been specified. The distribution of the $5 billion support fund for industries, including this aid for the aluminum industry, remains uncertain.

Across the Atlantic, France has seen political upheaval. François Bayrou has been ousted as Prime Minister by French deputies, making him the fourth prime minister to be removed since the beginning of Emmanuel Macron's second term. The circumstances surrounding Bayrou's removal are not specified.

Tragically, Isabelle Vaillancourt, the general director of Publications BLD, has passed away.

These developments underscore the dynamic nature of politics and industry in both Canada and France. As more details emerge, we will continue to bring you updates on these and other important stories.
