Hate crimes and antisemitic rhetoric have risen in Canada since Hamas' attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, according to government documents obtained through the Access to Information Act. As Caryn Lieberman reports, the troubling trend is renewing questions over the federal government's efforts to combat antisemitism and to keep it from escalating into acts of violence.

The federal government has introduced its long-promised Online Harms Act, aimed at addressing issues such as online child endangerment and non-consensual sharing of intimate images. Touria Izri explains what else the bill includes, what child safety advocates think of it and why Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre is against the legislation.

While European countries are beginning to ramp up their defence spending amid Russia's rising aggression, scrutiny is increasing on Canada's contributions to NATO. Abigail Bimman reports on how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being grilled about Canada's defence spending and about providing more aid to Ukraine.

Alexei Navalny was about to be released in a prisoner swap prior to his death behind bars, according to Maria Pevchikh, an ally of the late Russian opposition leader. Redmond Shannon explains why Pevchikh says the deal was cancelled and who else was rumoured to be involved in the alleged exchange.

The deadline has arrived for people living in five Halifax encampments to leave, but finding accommodation for those evicted has been a challenge. Heidi Petracek explains how the city's struggle to help the unhoused is representative of a growing problem across Canada and why not all tent residents want to go to a shelter.

A case of unopened hockey cards believed to contain dozens of cards from Wayne Gretzky's rookie season has been auctioned off for more than $5 million. Mike Armstrong explains how a Regina family discovered the mystery box and why its true value may never be known.
