In 2024, the TAL suggested a 4% average base rent increase for unheated and electrically heated housing. Rent can only be revised upon lease renewal, never mid-term. If a lease ends on June 30, 2025, notice must be sent between April 30 and May 31, 2025. The RCLALQ warns that the worst is to come for tenants, stating the government cannot decide on TAL rent price caps. Tenants in Quebec can expect rather hefty rent increase notices in the coming weeks. The RCLALQ fears future increases will further plunge tenants into a situation of "precarity and enormous stress." Conversely, CORPIQ believes we've reached a balance—uncomfortable for renters but necessary for landlords. They also ask the Legault government to offer tenants relief by freezing rents while implementing "real universal mandatory rent control."

Hydro-Québec primarily generates energy from hydroelectric sources (96.8%), with smaller contributions from other renewables, nuclear power, and thermal sources.

Enrique Tarrio, former national chairman of the Proud Boys, was sentenced for seditious conspiracy and other charges related to the January 6th breach of the U.S. Capitol. The Justice Department proved the Proud Boys played a central role in setting up the attack.
