Police in Vancouver say they've launched a hate crime investigation after a clash between protesters with opposing views on war in the Middle East.

They say it happened outside the Vancouver Art Gallery Sunday night.

Police say in a statement that "violence broke out" between groups of protesters with differing views on the war between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

Police say a 34-year-old woman was injured and required medical attention after she was knocked to the ground, assaulted and subjected to antisemitic slurs.

They say the suspect ran away into the crowd, but officers later arrested a youth who has since been released, while the investigation continues.

An image posted to the Instagram account titled "Free Palestine BC" shows a protest was planned for Sunday evening calling for "resistance until liberation."

Blaming Punjab for Delhi's Pollution is Ridiculous: Piyush Goyal

Union Minister Piyush Goyal has strongly criticized the idea of holding Punjab farmers responsible for Delhi's pollution. Speaking at the Invest India program, he described the claim as completely absurd and wrong. Goyal expressed his surprise at those making such claims. He questioned how pollution from stubble burning by farmers, located 500 km away, could reach Delhi. The minister clarified that while he does not encourage stubble burning, it is incorrect to blame Punjab farmers for Delhi’s pollution. The Union Minister for Commerce and Industry emphasized that smoke from construction ac

B.C. Government to Present 2025-26 Provincial Budget Amid Economic Challenges

The B.C. government, led by Premier David Eby, will present the provincial budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year on March 4.

Trump calls Freeland 'a whack' and Poilievre 'not a MAGA guy' as tariff threat looms

In an interview with The Spectator, Trump called Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland terrible and "a whack" — and claimed credit for her resignation as finance minister. Trump also remarked on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying that "his biggest problem is he's not a MAGA guy." An edited transcript of the Thursday interview with Trump did not provide any new insights into what Canada might do to stop the devastating duties from going f

Critics say the government's new budget misses the mark on education and health-care funding

Critics say the government's new budget misses the mark on education and health-care funding, leaving issues like emergency room wait times and overcrowded classrooms to go from bad to worse. Alberta Teachers' Association president Jason Schilling says the nearly 10-billion dollars set aside for the K-to-12 school system doesn't keep up with population growth and inflation. Schilling says he understands that oil revenues are expected to drop and potential tariffs from the United States are putting the province in limbo, but education should be a priority.
