In his latest press review, Paul Arcand discusses the wave of scams arriving via email and text, as well as the fake news spreading across social media. Dozens of snow removal business owners told the Journal de Montréal that fraudsters are targeting them by sending fake "past due" invoices to their regular customers. Meanwhile, a Radio-Canada investigation reveals that the Montreal Canadiens have become a major target. Over the last few months, hundreds of fake stories about the players' personal and professional lives have appeared on Facebook, all designed to generate clicks and advertising revenue.

Arcand also covers several other headlines: experts claim millions of cancer cases could be prevented, and researchers warn that "night owls" who stay up late are putting their health at risk. Other topics include the ongoing mystery of how potholes form, the skyrocketing costs of a government IT project in Ottawa, and the reopening of the National Assembly in Quebec City. Finally, he touches on local debates regarding funeral costs and the "guignolée," the traditional Quebec holiday food or charity drive.
