Car owners in Repentigny found their vehicles vandalized over the Labour Day weekend with stickers carrying anti-Islamic hatred.

According to CBC News, among the many stickers included one that had an emblem of the Muslim brotherhood, and another with a message threatening people to convert to Islam, claiming that Quebec is Allah's land. 

A member of a local Islamic advocacy group believes the vandalism was done in poor taste to provoke fear against Muslims.

Repentigny police have increased patrolling around the town to prevent a repeat of the incident

A zoning change that would allow a ten storey complex to be built near the MUHC super-hospital was met with concern during a consultation on Wednesday.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the complex would house a Provigo, a Seniors residence and allow for apartments to be donated to the Children's Hospital Foundation to be used by families of hospitalized Children.

However, some residents near the site on the corner of Ste-Catherine and de Maisonneuve expressed concern over the possible increase in traffic and pollution if the complex was built – while others stated it is already bumper-to-bumper and pollution could not increase.
