CBC News – Pandemic Likely to Drive a Surge in Immigration Fraud, Border Agency Warns
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to drive an increase in immigration fraud and human smuggling as desperate migrants try to get into Canada, says a strategic intelligence report prepared by the Canada Border Service Agency.

CityNews – Action to Save Montreal’s Chinatown Needs to Come Faster, Advocates Say
Hotels and luxury condos have sprung up around the ornate red and gold gate that marks the south entrance to Montreal’s Chinatown, towering above the busy dumpling restaurants and mom-and-pop stores.

La Presse – La vacuna à la ferme pour prévenir les éclosions
Jeudi 3 juin, 10 h 30. Une vingtaine de travailleurs agricoles masqués et distanciés bavardent en espagnol à l’extérieur d’un bâtiment de la ferme Onésime Pouliot, à Saint-Jean-de-l’Île-d’Orléans. Derrière eux, des rangs de fraisiers semblent courir jusqu’au fleuve. Le ciel plombé ne réussit pas à ternir la beauté du paysage. De tous les sites qui administreront des vaccins contre la COVID-19 dans la province aujourd’hui, celui-ci a la plus belle salle d’attente.
