In tonight’s top story: While the rest of Canada is used to snow, southwestern British Columbia isn't, and a serious dump of heavy, wet snow has brought that region to a standstill. Neetu Garcha reports on the headaches for drivers and air travellers in Metro Vancouver, Kylie Stanton reports from Victoria on the power outages affecting more than 20,000 people on Vancouver Island, and meteorologist Kristi Gordon explains what's in the forecast.

Also, in southern Ontario, a cold snap is plunging temperatures — further jeopardizing the safety of vulnerable and unhoused people. Mike Drolet looks at how Toronto is trying to keep the less fortunate warm and safe, as temperatures drop and shelters become filled up.

And while Hamas and Israel's violent conflict has been covered by media from around the world, both sides are attempting to control the narrative and influence the public opinion. Foreign journalists, including Israelis, cannot get into Gaza. Daniele Hamamdjian looks at the information war.

Back in Canada, the University of Victoria is expanding its research beyond Canadian waters, teaming up with Spanish researchers to deploy an underwater observatory in the Antarctic Ocean. Mike Armstrong explains what scientists are hoping to find in one of the world's most remote regions.
