The two-part report analyzed 2,789 CBC news articles published between October 7, 2023 and June 7, 2025, examining the CBC's online coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. Innohives' research concluded that the CBC's coverage of the Israel-Hamas war demonstrated significant imbalance in sympathy, challenging its commitment to its own Journalistic Standards and Practices. "The bias, which we think is clearly demonstrated by the research being released today, should concern all Canadians," said Amanda Eskenasi, Director of Education at HRCCO and author of the HRCCO report. It contributes to a culture that dehumanizes Jews and dismisses Jewish suffering, allowing bad actors to rationalize or excuse antisemitism, eroding the moral barrier against antisemitic violence."

Blue kitchen cabinetry is high on the 2026 trend list, according to designer Arren Williams.

New home sales across Ontario have fallen far below historic norms, with only approximately 15,000 units sold in 2025. Correspondingly, that total construction activity could decline dramatically, from approximately $31.7 billion in 2024 to just $10.4 billion by 2030. At today’s historically low sales levels, the foregone revenue for the province would be approximately $472 million per year. At traditional sales volumes, it would rise to roughly $1.4 billion annually – which is far less than the predicted fiscal consequences outlined above.

Two endangered whooping cranes found dead in fields near Saskatoon this fall tested positive for avian influenza, the first time the virus has been detected in the species’ wild bird population. This whooping crane's carcass was sent to Saskatoon's Western College of Veterinary Medicine, where pathologists confirmed avian flu.

The second whooping crane was found about 100 kilometres away from the first dead bird. In September, a captive whooping crane in a Wisconsin breeding program died and was confirmed to have avian flu.

The regulations were set to kick in this year, with car companies required to hit a 20 per cent sales target. The mandate, known formally as the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard (EVAS) , is still in effect for the following years — with the target jumping to 100 per cent by 2035. Despite the government’s pledge in its Nov. 4 budget to “announce next steps on electric vehicles in the coming weeks,” there’s been no announcement yet. “Auto manufacturers are currently making critical production and potential credit purchase decisions that require clarity on EVAS,” the letter continued.
