Yosif Al-Hasnawi, 19, was shot on Dec. 2 near his mosque after intervening to help an old man. It took paramedics 38 minutes from the time they arrived to transport him to hospital.  Witnesses say paramedics told him he was acting, and that he'd been shot by a pellet gun.

just noticed this is the first time I’ve been back home since my father passed & probably that’s why so much of egypt is making me emotional. he always made these visits so special & lived life in toronto as though it were just a transitory phase between these trips back.

A CBC producer is lifting the veil on how the broadcaster whitewashed Israel’s horrors in Gaza. In a tell-all essay, she describes the inner workings of newsrooms where double standards and biases sidelined the truth—before she resigned in protest.
