Security footage allegedly showing the murder of a 58-year-old volunteer outside a Toronto mosque last month has been posted online. The grainy, 46 second security camera clip appears to show someone walking up behind a person seated outside the International Muslim Organization. There's a brief physical altercation before the seated person collapses to the ground and the other runs away. Guilherme (William) Von Neutegem has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Mohamed-Aslim Zafis. Toronto Mayor John Tory says the attack is part of a concerning trend.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says provinces must do more to address racism in the health-care system, saying reconciliation with Indigenous people is not up to the federal government alone.The issue of anti-Indigenous racism in health care gained new attention from outrage over the treatment of Joyce Echaquan, who used her phone to livestream hospital staff using racist slurs against her as she lay dying in a Quebec hospital last month.Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said Thursday the federal government is ready to use its financial leverage over the health system to fight anti-Indig

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government will not stop standing up for human rights in China or calling out Beijing for its coercive approach to diplomacy. Trudeau says that includes the situation in Hong Kong, where pro-democracy activists have been protesting a widely criticized national security law imposed on the territory by Beijing. On Thursday, the Chinese ambassador to Canada warned Ottawa against granting asylum to Hong Kong residents fleeing the situation, saying it amounts to interfering in its internal affairs. Cong said if Canada cares about 300,000 Canadian citizens in

Metro Vancouver isn't the only housing market in Canada where sales are surging. The Canadian Real Estate Association says the number of homes sold across the country last month set a September record, while the average price soared 17.5 per cent over the same period last year. But the association says the average price of 604,000 dollars would be about 125,000 dollars lower if trends in the Vancouver and Toronto markets were excluded. Strong sales on Vancouver Island also helped buoy the national market, as sales there and across Greater Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and the Hamilton area of On

A 12 year old Calgary boy has found a young dinosaur fossil that paleontologists say can fill a significant gap in their knowledge of dinosaur evolution. Nathan Hrushkin was hiking with his dad in the badlands of southeastern Alberta, when he discovered the fossil of a juvenile hadrosaur. Since then, paleontologists have uncovered between 30 and 50 bones in the canyon's wall. A Calgary based paleontologist is excited about the discovery of a young dinosaur fossil by a 12 year old boy which could help experts understand how dinosaurs lived through severe climate change millions of years ago.

Ottawa police say they have charged a woman with violating the Quarantine Act after she went to work four days after returning from a trip outside Canada. They say she came back to Canada on Sept. 26 and went to her job at a long-term care facility on Sept. 30 rather than self-isolating for the legally required 14 days. Her bosses sent her home upon learning of the situation and no cases of COVID-19 there have been traced to her, according to a police statement. The 53 year old is charged with two counts under the Quarantine Act: one of violating the self-isolation requirement and a separate

The Chinese ambassador to Canada is warning the Trudeau government not to grant asylum to Hong Kong residents fleeing a widely criticized national security law imposed by Beijing. Ambassador Cong Peiwu brands pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong as violent criminals and says if Canada grants them asylum that amounts to interference in China's internal affairs. Cong says if Canada cares about 300,000 Canadian citizens in Hong Kong and the Canadian companies doing business there it should support Chinese efforts to fight what he calls fight violent crime. Cong also flatly rejects Prime Ministe

At least a dozen new projects to go after online hate are being funded through Ottawa's anti-racism strategy today. Diversity Minister Bardish Chagger says 85 projects are getting money through the anti-racism action program. That program is part of the $45 million the federal government set aside in 2019 for the anti-racism strategy. The Liberals promised to double the funding for the strategy in the 2019 election campaign but that has not yet happened. Projects to target online hate were given priority in the action program and a dozen were approved, including one by the Canadian Anti-Hate

Opposition MPs are bracing for another marathon meeting of the House of Commons ethics committee today as they ramp up efforts to revive their investigation into the WE Charity affair. Indeed, Conservative MP Michael Barrett says he and his colleagues are prepared for the meeting to drag on for days, if that's what it takes to finally force an end to a filibuster by Liberal committee members who've been blocking opposition demands for more documents. At issue is a motion put forward by Barrett last week calling on Speakers' Spotlight, the agency that arranged speaking engagements for Prime Mi
