In Quebec and Ontario, hundreds of thousands of households remained in the dark on Friday after Wednesday’s powerful spring ice storm downed trees and power lines, leaving three men dead in the two provinces. As Mike Armstrong reports, Hydro Quebec is working around the clock to restore power and is hopeful the majority of customers on the island will have power by the end of the day.
Hundreds are expected to gather in downtown Winnipeg, calling for justice for Linda Mary Beardy after her body was discovered at a landfill and police ruled that her death was no longer being investigated as homicide. According to police, surveillance footage showed the 33-year-old mother climbing into a commercial garbage bin, before a garbage truck came by the site a few hours later and took its contents to the landfill. As Rosanna Hempel reports, rally organizers are calling for the landfill — where the bodies of other missing indigenous women have been found — to be shut down.
In Israel, rockets streaked across the sky, as local officials said it struck targets belonging to the Palestinian militant group Hamas in southern Lebanon and Gaza. The strikes took place as tensions continued to simmer, days after Israeli police stormed the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and two Israeli sisters were killed in a shooting attack in the occupied West Bank, according to officials. Crystal Goomansingh has more.
And finally, on HBO's Game of Thrones, direwolves were magical creatures of the north. Turns out, these beasts were once creatures of the Canadian north as well. Technology has finally helped mathematically confirm that a jawbone in Alberta did in fact belong to a direwolf, making it the northern-most confirmed example of the species ever found. Heather Yourex-West has the details.
