Video: Witnessing the drone war for Ukraine from the Russian side The war in Ukraine shows how effective drones have become in combat. The Globe embedded with Russian forces in late 2025 and saw how the drone war is affecting the battlefield and civilians.

The Globe & Mail has published video shot by Russian filmmaker Anastasia Trofimova while embedded with Russian forces.

Trofimova directed Russians At War, the controversial film which sought to whitewash Russian atrocities in Ukraine.

Bewildering choice.

Analysis: CAQ haunted by third link promise even in leadership race The controversial bridge-tunnel link between Quebec City and Lévis have created a wedge between Bernard Drainville and Christine Fréchette.

I'm all about dispassionate decision-making when it comes to multi-billion-dollar projects. But how has Christine Fréchette been a member of the CAQ government for almost four years and not have an opinion about the third link project? montrealgazette.com/news/provinc...

With the cancellation of the 405, 425 and 485, the 211 and 411 will be the only express buses to the West Island from Lionel-Groulx once the new network comes into effect.

There's also the 747, that doesn't stop at Dorval and will also stop running during the day once the REM goes to the airport.

Update: Missed the cancellation of the 485 bus. With the REM in place, the need for a shuttle between Fairview and Lionel-Groulx becomes less important.

Will take Dawson Ave. instead of Bord-du-Lac in Dorval. Otherwise unchanged, but will have higher frequency too.
