An open letter from The Rover publication documents the assault on Wilson and Peltz with witness testimony, photographs, and medical evidence. The piece contextualizes the incident within a pattern of Montreal police targeting journalists, citing the 2016 tracking of La Presse journalist Patrick Lagacé, the 2024 arrest of CUTV journalist Savanna Craig, and a previous 2025 CAJ call for investigation into SPVM assaults on the same two journalists.

“The reaction was overkill, they badly outnumbered the protesters and appear to have been triggered by someone removing a barricade.”
