Montreal police say shots have been fired at two Jewish schools in the city.

According to the police, the first incident was reported at 8:20 this morning.

There was one bullet hole in the school door.

This school has an elementary and a high school.

The second incident took place about half an hour later at another Jewish school.

This school also has one day care.

No one was reported to be injured in either incident.

No one has been arrested so far.

Investigation of the matter is ongoing.

It is worth mentioning that due to the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, violent clashes are taking place between pro-Palestine and pro-Israel groups in Canada.

Yesterday there was violence in the campus of Concordia University in Montreal.

Two security guards and a student was injured in the scuffle.

The video of this fight is also going viral on social media.

Emergency responders in Victoria, B.C., had to rush into action to support a woman giving birth on Wharf Street, along the city's busy waterfront area.

Police say the officer and other responders found the woman who was in active labour and helped support her along with other members of the public.

Striking public service workers in British Columbia have expanded pickets at provincial liquor and cannabis stores again, adding 20 more locations to the list. The B.C.

Union president Paul Finch says in a statement that every day the government delays, pressure on public services will grow, and it will continue to step up

Schools set to close as Alberta provides online curriculum ahead of teachers strike

Schools across Alberta are preparing to close their doors while the province readies a home curriculum for students ahead of Monday's provincewide teachers strike. Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides says the province has already put online a curriculum that parents can use to teach their children should the 51,000 members of the Alberta Teachers' Association make good on their promise to walk out. Nicolaides says it's not fair that students would be forced to bear the brunt of the walkout, which would affect more than 700,000 students across public, separate and francophone sch

Canada Post tables new offers to striking postal workers

Canada Post says it has sent new offers to striking postal workers. The offer includes the same 13.59 per cent compounded wage increase over four years that it presented as part of its final offer in May to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

Canada Post says the new proposal includes terms to help support the transformation of the postal service that the federal government has initiated. Workers went on strike last week after the government announced the changes including endin
