The bridges of Quebec. After his party’s defeat in the riding of Jean-Talon, Prime Minister François Legault said he was once again open to the idea of building a new road link between Quebec and the South Shore.

Some manufacturers, like Nissan, may be interested in your sexual activity, warns the Mozilla Foundation.
What ? Yes, yes, you read correctly: your vehicle tracks you and collects phenomenal amounts of data about you. Some manufacturers, like Nissan, may even be interested in your sexual activity, warns the Mozilla Foundation, which spent 600 hours analyzing the protection of personal information by 25 automobile brands. This data is used to improve the autonomy of vehicles, but Kia – which gives itself the right to collect data on “your genetic information” or “your religious or philosophical beliefs” – also sells it to third parties.
