What we can confirm

Montreal adopted the bylaw in September 2026. The measure prohibits insulting, harassing, threatening, abusing, intimidating, or engaging in offensive or aggressive conduct toward municipal employees, including police officers, and provides for fines. Its constitutionality is being challenged, but that challenge does not negate the fact of adoption.
