Les partisans des Montreal Canadiens ne se contentent pas de faire du bruit — ils feraient aussi bouger le sol, littéralement. Selon un article de CTV News, les célébrations lors des matchs des Canadiens auraient été suffisamment intenses pour générer une activité sismique mesurable, avec des micro-tremblements détectés à travers la ville. A lire : Meilleur bar pour regarder les Canadiens de Montréal : bière, arcades et cocktails Photograph: Time Out Market MontréalHabs C’est quoi « Habs » ? « Habs » est le surnom bien connu de l’équipe de la LNH des Montreal Canadiens. Le terme vient de « Les Habitants », un nom historique utilisé pour désigner les premiers colons français établis au Québec au 17e siècle. Les célébrations des partisans du Canadien ont-elles vraiment déclenché des micro-séismes ? Oui — selon certaines observations, les célébrations des partisans du Canadien lors de buts auraient été suffisamment intenses pour être enregistrées comme une activité sismique mineure, détectée par des instruments scientifiques à Montréal.  Des chercheurs du Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf rapportent que les moments les plus forts — lors des matchs de samedi et de lundi soir — ont atteint environ 0,5 sur l’échelle de Richter. Les données proviennent notamment d’un sismographe de Natural Resources Canada installé au Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, situé à environ cinq kilomètres du Bell Centre. Un capteur distinct, situé dans un laboratoire en sous-sol de l’Université McGill, a également enregis

Montreal Canadiens fans may be making more than just noise — they’re making waves, quite literally. According to an article published by CTV News, celebrations at the Montreal Canadiens games have registered as measurable seismic activity, with goal celebrations producing micro-tremors detected across the city. Read: The best Habs pre-game spot near Montreal’s Bell Centre Photograph: Time Out Market MontréalHabs What is Habs short for? Habs is the famous nickname for the NHL's Montreal Canadiens. The moniker is short for "Les Habitants," which was the informal name given to the original 17th-century French settlers in Quebec. Did Habs fans' celebrations register as microearthquakes? Researchers at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf say the most intense moments — during Saturday and Monday night games — generated readings of approximately 0.5 on the Richter scale. The activity was picked up by a seismograph from Natural Resources Canada located at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, roughly five kilometres from the Bell Centre. A separate sensor in a McGill University basement laboratory also recorded spikes following Canadiens goals. During Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres, researchers noted sharp seismic jumps after goals scored by Arber Xhekaj, Ivan Demidov and Jake Evans.  More than 21,000 fans filled the arena, with thousands more gathering outside, turning downtown Montreal into a collective celebration zone. Two of the strongest tremors — recorded at 8:16 p.m. and 8:18 p.m. — coincided wi

Montreal sex workers are planning a strike during the 2026 Formula One Grand Prix weekend. The Sex Work Autonomous Committee (SWAC) has announced plans for a strike on May 23, 2026, targeting strip clubs and massage parlours across Montreal ahead of the city’s lucrative Canadian Grand Prix weekend. Check out: Where to find the best strip clubs in Montreal Organizers say the action is aimed at demanding safer working conditions, an end to rising “bar fees,” protection from workplace violence and broader labour rights for sex workers. According to the SWAC site, workers have spent years documenting complaints ranging from unsafe and unsanitary workplaces to discrimination, harassment and arbitrary dismissals.  The movement has been organizing publicly since 2019 and says momentum intensified after assemblies and workshops held throughout 2025. Photograph: Shutterstock/ Lestertair Why target Formula 1 weekend? SWAC says Grand Prix weekend represents the most profitable stretch of the year for many clubs — and therefore the moment workers have the most leverage. The group alleges that during F1 week, clubs often raise dancer fees, overbook performers and impose stricter workplace rules while security concerns increase amid larger crowds and heightened demand. Organizers argue that striking during Montreal’s internationally watched Formula 1 weekend is intended to spotlight what they describe as exploitative labour practices within the industry.

Les travailleuses du sexe de Montréal prévoient une grève pendant le week-end du Grand Prix de Formule 1 2026. Le Comité autonome du travail du sexe (CATS) a annoncé une action prévue le 23 mai 2026, visant des bars de danse et des salons de massage à travers la ville, en amont du très lucratif Canadian Grand Prix. A lire : Les meilleurs bars de danseuses à Montréal Les organisatrices et organisateurs affirment que cette mobilisation vise à exiger de meilleures conditions de travail, la fin de la hausse des « bar fees », une meilleure protection contre la violence en milieu de travail, ainsi que la reconnaissance de droits du travail pour les travailleuses du sexe. Selon le CATS, les membres documentent depuis plusieurs années des conditions jugées problématiques : milieux de travail insalubres ou non sécuritaires, discrimination, harcèlement et congédiements arbitraires. Le mouvement, actif publiquement depuis 2019, affirme avoir gagné en élan après une série d’assemblées et d’ateliers tenus tout au long de 2025. Photograph: Shutterstock/ Lestertair Pourquoi faire grève pendant le Grand Prix? Le CATS estime que le week-end du Grand Prix représente la période la plus rentable de l’année pour plusieurs établissements — et donc le moment où les travailleuses ont le plus de levier.

Your summer trip may be impacted by a new travel warning. The Canadian government just issued a new warning to Canadians that escalating tensions in the Middle East could trigger major travel disruptions around the world — even for travellers not heading anywhere near the region. As millions prepare for summer vacations abroad, officials report that the global situation is already impacting fuel supplies, raising the risk of flight delays, cancellations, rerouted itineraries and soaring travel costs.  Fuel shortages could also disrupt transportation and access to essential goods and services at certain destinations.

As of May 2026, Global Affairs Canada warns that the ongoing Middle East conflict is causing widespread travel disruptions, including flight cancellations and fuel shortages affecting global travel. Is it a good idea to travel to the Middle East right now? According to the government, travel plans could be affected whether you’re flying to the Middle East, transiting through it or travelling elsewhere entirely, as airlines worldwide continue adjusting routes and operations amid growing instability. Travellers are being urged to carefully reassess their plans, monitor updates from airlines and prepare for sudden changes before departure and while abroad.
