Dawn had not yet broken in Jerusalem on October 7, 2023, when Baruch Apisdorf received a text message from his best friend. David Newman, 25, had borrowed Apisdorf’s car to go to a music festival in southern Israel.
Newman’s text was urgent: he was hiding in a dumpster, from Hamas terrorists.
“Pray for me and pray for your car,” Newman wrote, making a wry joke in the worst of circumstances: He was caught up in Hamas’s attack on the Nova festival, where terrorists killed 378 people, all but a few dozen civilians, and kidnapped 44 more.

The holiday break is now behind us, and Premier François Legault has yet to take his walk in the snow. All signs point to him running his fifth election campaign as leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec this fall—and his third as premier.
However, the embattled premier will have a steep hill to climb. A new Quebec survey from Pallas Data of decided and leaning voters, partly commissioned by The Walrus, suggested the holiday break did nothing to improve Quebecers’ mood toward their government in Quebec City, nor toward Legault himself.

When we launched our regional bureaus last year, it was part of a broader effort to deepen our coverage of the most consequential stories unfolding across the country and to strengthen the role of local reporting in our national conversation.
We began with three bureaus. This year, we are expanding again—and we are especially pleased to announce the launch of our Quebec desk. The timing could not be more important. With a provincial election scheduled for October 2026, we will be paying close attention to the political, social, and economic forces shaping the province over the next year...
