TL;DR
Special constables in Montreal are requesting to be armed with firearms due to increased incidents of violence they are dealing with, both on the STM transit system and in the city. The STM and SPVM are hesitant about this proposal since it could potentially escalate situations further. The decision is still being debated between the STM, the SPVM, and the union representing the constables.
