  • Shooting strikes fear, Israeli PM points finger at Carney, Canada Post strike pending, and more
    May 22 2025

    The fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington is spreading fear in Jewish communities in the U.S. and Canada. The FBI director says the attack was a targeted anti-Semitic act of terror. A 31-year-old man was arrested at the scene, as he called out "free Palestine"


    And: Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement saying he is devastated by the shootings, and he condemns the violence and antisemitism. Israel’s prime minister suggested Canada - and other countries – have played a role in emboldening Hamas. Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas is grateful to Carney and the leaders of France and Britain for saying the war in Gaza should end immediately.


    Also: The two sides in the Canada Post labour dispute are not talking, and a strike could begin at midnight tonight – the second disruption in a year. Small business owners who rely on the mail service are trying to find other options.


    Plus: G7 finance ministers meet, Stellantis delays production on one of its electric vehicles, Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named NBA MVP, and more.
