CP NewsAlert: Quebec author admits past plagiarism, denies AI use in novel
The Canadian Press 2 minute read 10:09 AM CDT
MONTREAL - Quebec author Thélyson Orélien is admitting he plagiarized other writers in his earlier work, but maintains he didn't use artificial intelligence to write his acclaimed novel.
In a statement released by his publisher, Éditions du Boréal, Orélien apologized for making what he described as unacceptable mistakes in his youth.
He also rejected allegations that his novel, C’était ça ou mourir, was written using AI.
Orélien says he began writing the novel in 2017 and finished writing the first draft in 2019.

Collaros turns back the clock in crucial win over Stamps
Taylor Allen 7 minute read Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026
It was around this time seven years ago that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers officially became Zach Collaros’s team.
Making his first start in blue and gold after being acquired via trade, Collaros ran backwards to escape a collapsing pocket before rolling to his right and firing a perfect pass to Darvin Adams in the back corner of the south end zone during a home game against the Calgary Stampeders.
The play marked the beginning of the Collaros era in Winnipeg.
And a similar play Saturday night, once again against the Stampeders, served as a reminder that the 38-year-old pivot isn’t done just yet.

Gang member who shot rival, bystander back in prison after release revoked
Erik Pindera 4 minute read Yesterday at 11:34 PM CDT
A Winnipeg man who shot a rival teenage gangster and an innocent 11-year-old bystander at the crowded Red River Exhibition more than four years ago has been sent back to prison.
Mocree Chuck Scatch-Dubour, now in his early 20s, left prison in April on statutory release on his 5 1/2-year federal sentence for the 2022 shooting. Scatch-Dubour was sentenced to the prison term as an adult in the spring of 2023 after pleading guilty to discharge of a firearm with intent to wound, aggravated assault and possession of a restricted firearm.
By law, most federal inmates automatically receive statutory release after two-thirds of their sentence, if they have not already been paroled.
Parole Board of Canada officials formally revoked Scatch-Dubour’s release this month after he unlawfully left his halfway house in June.
