Ontario’s lower courts are introducing restrictions on who can attend proceedings virtually after what they describe as an escalation of interruptions, a move that law experts and observers say raises questions about transparency.
The Ontario Court of Justice released a new policy last week that would stop observers from accessing court proceedings online unless they receive authorization from the judge or justice of peace overseeing the case.
Cet acquittement risque de miner la confiance envers le système de justice, regrettent des avocates.
Il aura fallu une levée de boucliers générale pour que le gouvernement Legault entende finalement raison. Devant la grogne généralisée, Québec a annoncé, la semaine dernière, qu’il injectera 540 M$ supplémentaires dans le réseau scolaire pour préserver les services aux élèves. Une volte-face qui soulève une question fondamentale: est-il trop tard?
L’opinion de Johanne Fournier
J’ai posé la question à une maman du Bic, dont les services sur lesquels pouvait compter son fils seront supprimés à la rentrée. La classe de Jeffrey-Lou, dont le personnel était spécialisé dans le trouble du spectre de l’autisme, n’existera plus. « Le ministre a annoncé qu’il ajouterait des millions pour les services aux élèves, convient Marie-Josée Aubin. Mais, le mal est déjà fait: les postes sont déjà supprimés. »
Rappelons les faits. En mars, le budget 2025-2026 a annoncé des compressions en éducation. En juin, le ministre de l’Éducation, Bernard Drainville, a passé une commande aux centres de services scolaires: réduire leurs dépenses de 570 M$.
Le résultat? Un vent de panique a soufflé sur les écoles. Des directions ont imploré Québec de reculer sur ces coupes dévastatrices, sans quoi des services essentiels aux élèves seraient annulés à la rentrée. Les centres de services scolaires ont dû préparer des listes de suppressions qui donnent le vertige: postes d’enseignants, services d’orthopédagogie, aide aux élèves en difficulté, transport scolaire.
Le recul du gouvernement constitue certes un pas dans la bonne direction. Mais, cette somme de 540 M$ est-elle suffisante?
La réponse des syndicats est non, car cette injection de dernière minute ne réparera pas les dégâts collatéraux causés par les coupes draconiennes planifiées pendant des mois par les directions d’école: du personnel licencié, des services annulés, des projets éducatifs mis en veilleuse. Peut-on remettre la machine en marche comme si de rien n’était? Personne ne semble y croire.
Cette crise révèlerait-elle un problème de gouvernance plus profond? Comment un gouvernement qui clame faire de l’éducation sa priorité peut-il en arriver à menacer les services aux élèves?
Plus inquiétant encore: comment, avec cette volte-face, arrivera-t-on à résoudre l’équation budgétaire de fond? Si Québec injecte 540 M$, d’où viendra cet argent? Dans un contexte où le Québec nage en plein déficit, cette rallonge budgétaire ne risque-t-elle pas de créer des tensions ailleurs ou de pelleter le problème dans la cour de quelqu’un d’autre?
Pour les acteurs du milieu scolaire, cette façon d’aller de l’avant du gouvernement pour ensuite rétropédaler est épuisante. Ils ont besoin de prévisibilité, de planification à long terme. En éducation comme ailleurs, gouverner, c’est prévoir. Or, à ce chapitre, le ministre de l’Éducation aurait-il une leçon à apprendre?
Russia has started using a new drone tactic in Ukraine. Russian Shahed kamikaze drones have begun performing complex maneuvers mid-flight in an apparent attempt to evade Ukrainian interceptor drones, according to electronic warfare expert Serhii Beskrestnov, also known as Flash.
Ukrainian interceptor drones are the country’s most advanced weapon for defending against Russian drones. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has set a clear goal for domestic manufacturers: ensure the capacity to deploy at least 1,000 such interceptors daily to protect Ukrainian cities and military targets.
“Shaheds have started executing a set of complex in-flight maneuvers aimed at reducing the effectiveness of our aerial interceptor drones,” explains Beskrestnov.
According to him, the Russian military has long been preparing to counter Ukrainian interceptors, and this new drone approach is only the beginning.
Despite the new threat, the expert assures that Ukraine is actively improving its own interception technology.
In the first half of 2025, 6,754 civilians in Ukraine were killed or injured, the highest number for a six-month period since 2022, the UN reports. In July alone, Russia launched at least 5,183 long-range munitions at Ukraine, including a record 728 drones on 9 July. Kyiv and the port city of Odesa have been hit hardest in recent weeks.
“We will keep working on countering their tech with ours. You didn’t really think the enemy would abandon its most widespread weapon so easily, did you?” the expert says.
Shaheds remain one of the main threats to Ukraine’s rear, making the development of interceptor drones a key component of defense. As the situation shows, the air war is entering a new phase, the one where each side upgrades its unmanned systems in real time.

Despite escalating fighting and a humanitarian catastrophe, the UN has received only 34% of the planned $2.6 billion for aid to Ukraine in 2025, reveals UN Deputy Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Joyce Msuya, UkrInform reports.
In the first half of 2025, Russia killed or injured 6,754 civilians in Ukraine, the highest number for a six-month period since 2022. After a surge in Russian attacks on civilians following each US peace effort, President Donald Trump gave Russia a 50-day ultimatum to strike a peace deal with Ukraine. However, the attack continue.
“Without immediate funding, even priority programs may be shut down,” she warned during a UN Security Council meeting.
The UN has already launched its 2025–2026 winter response plan, which targets the 1.7 million Ukrainians left in high-risk areas.
Since the last Security Council meeting on 20 June, the humanitarian situation has significantly worsened, Msuya said. In the first half of 2025, the number of civilian casualties increased by nearly 50% compared to last year.
Currently, 13 million Ukrainians need assistance, but due to a funding shortfall, only 3.6 million have received it.
Access to Russian-occupied regions remains extremely limited, Msuya emphasized. This makes it impossible to provide basic aid to millions of civilians.
Russia is transforming occupied Ukrainian regions into military bases. Moscow troops use Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts to build up combat units, establish fortified positions, and organize logistics hubs. Meanwhile, from occupied Crimea, Russian forces are launching missiles and drones at other Ukrainian cities.
She stressed that Ukrainians cannot depend on donor fatigue or delay, urging UN member states to act without hesitation.
Earlier, Euromaidan Press reported that Ukrainians suffer from dehydration and violence in Donetsk. The city’s residents under the Russian occupation face catastrophic water shortages, with no supply to homes for up to three days at a time.
Military expert Roman Svitan said that the Russians destroyed the Khanzhonkivske Reservoir in 2022. The pumps capable of moving millions of tons of water were completely demolished. This water sustained all of Donbas, all the way to Mariupol.

Russia is wiping out Ukrainian cities daily. In the first half of 2025, 6,754 civilians in Ukraine were killed or injured, the highest number for a six-month period since 2022, says Miroslav Jenča, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia, and the Americas, UkrInform reports.
After a surge in Russian attacks on civilians following each US peace effort, President Donald Trump gave Russia a 50-day ultimatum to strike a peace deal with Ukraine. He warned that failure to comply would trigger harsh economic sanctions, including tariffs of around 100% not only against Russia itself but also against countries purchasing its energy resources.
Daily shelling of Ukrainian towns and villages with missiles and drones has only intensified, he said during a UN Security Council meeting. June saw the highest monthly civilian casualty count in three years.
In July alone, Russia launched at least 5,183 long-range munitions at Ukraine, including a record 728 drones on 9 July. Kyiv and the port city of Odesa have been hit hardest in recent weeks.
Even Ukraine’s western regions, once considered relatively safe, are no longer spared from massive aerial attacks.
According to official UN data, at least 13,580 civilians have been killed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, including 716 children. Another 34,115 people have been injured.
“There is no safe place in Ukraine today,” said Jenča.
He stressed that international law clearly prohibits attacks on civilians and that the UN strongly condemns all such assaults.
