In the news today: six officers honoured, Quebec vote nears, Swift makes VMA history

Hundreds of officers gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, for the 49th annual Canadian Police and Peace Officers' Memorial, honoring six officers who died in the line of duty this year.
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree stated the ceremony honors fallen heroes, noting their families "paid the ultimate price for that sacrifice" as Canadian flags flew at half-mast and bagpipes played.
The service recognized Toronto police officer Marc Pinizzotto, Quebec provincial police officer Anais Fortin-Cozzens, and Montreal police officer Mohamed Benreouane, alongside Edmonton corrections officer Nicolae Serban and Ontario Provincial Police officers Brandon Malcolm and Tarun Bali.
Entering its final week, the Quebec election campaign continues as voters cast ballots on the second and final day of advance polling ahead of the Oct. 5 election day.
Voters attending advance polls cited health care, the economy, language, and the environment as central issues, while talk of possible United States interference dominated the campaign trail this weekend.
