It gives us something to train for, and we also raise money for a cancer foundation, so it's good there. >> Running is prayer, running is connection, and running is spiritual.

I thought they had a push back last night that we expected. >> Gives us an opportunity to make the most of our home games. Yeah, two very tight games. It's going to be a tight series just like the last one. >> February, 1-1 coming into this building, we would have been happy. You win one, you always want to win another.

Here's what happened. A broadster packed lisa lowry's account, they posted an ad claiming she was selling her things after her dad moved into long-term care. >> I thought it was lisa,n't like lisa, who's the most honest and trustworthy friend I know. >> Reporter: they notified the company, who did nothing to stop it. Last year, canadians lost a reported $174 million in social media scams according to the canadian antifraud centre. And there's more. Go public found more examples of the photos running rampant, so we asked facebook why it's continuing to allow a scam to run that they know is false? Meta made about $185 million in revenue last year. The cybercrime expert says it's time the company is held accountable. "marketplace" posed as one of the buyers. When we called them out and asked if facebook ever shut them down, they didn't seem worried. The two women say they've lost trust in social media but they're grateful they have someone they can trust back in their lives. >> We will not go so long without our next visit together. >> Reporter: rosa marcatelli, cbc news, calgary. >> Alicia: time is running out for the pro-palestinian encampment at the university of toronto. Toronto police have told the individuals to clear the area, and if not, they're going to be cleared out. >> Reporter: the protesters are demanding items that the university is willing to make, including cutting ties with companies in israel. The university said it will consider looking at a working group to consider divesting. >> We don't have time to do this only to be told no. >> The people of gaza don't have time. >> Reporter: students could be suspended or expelled, faculty and staff be suspended or fired. In an open letter to the university, the O.F.L. says you decide to move against the students, you'll have to go through the workers first. >> It is a very good feel, and it reflects what the people have been asking for. Our asks are grounded in national and international law. >> Reporter: the union representing several jewish groups groups in ontario say it's past time. >> This is something that's been allowed to continue for far too long. >> Reporter: this week, the university of waterloo put their protesters on notice. Two universities in quebec have gone to court to clear out encampments, and earlier this month, protesters were forcefully removed in alberta. >> Alicia: speaking of universities, a cbc news investigation shows that most canadian institutions do not track suicides.
