Antisemitic violence, racist text messages, rent drop and more
Description
The Prime Minister of the Netherlands says attacks on Israeli soccer fans are a sign of increasing antisemitism in the country. Videos show riot police intervening in street clashes, with some attackers targeting Jews. That kind of targeted violence is stoking fears among Jews here in Canada. They say it’s a reminder that they aren’t safe.
And: Authorities in the U.S. search for the people behind racist texts targeting Black Americans. The messages, referencing ‘plantations’ and ‘slave catchers’ were sent amid increased tensions following Donald Trump’s election win. And they may have a Canadian connection.
Also: Average rent prices across Canada declined for the first time since 2021, but only in big cities, reflecting a spike in demand as Canadians search for more affordable housing in less expensive markets.
Plus: New details about an alleged Russian sabotage plot to place explosives on planes bound for Canada, the FBI tells CBC News it has received tips on the whereabouts of former Olympian turned alleged drug lord Ryan Wedding, Indigenous Veterans Day and more.
