AAP FACTCHECK – Social media posts are falsely claiming demographic data shows Gaza’s population has grown since October 7, 2023, despite tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed in the Israel-Hamas war. The figure being widely shared online is a population growth projection for Gaza calculated in August 2023, and it does not account for population changes since then. A Facebook post making the claim features a bar chart comparing population changes during historic genocides. “Gaza population increased by 2.02% or 43,000 people since October 7th 2023. All historical genocides had population decreases of 25% or more. Source: The World factbook,” the caption said. The first instance of the claim appears to be a November 19 X post from Visegrad 24, a Polish news aggregator whose claims have previously been debunked . Many posts pointed to The World Factbook , a reference resource produced by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with information and statistics about the world’s countries. On its Gaza Strip page, it estimates the 2024 population growth rate – the annual rate of change in population size – at 2.02 per cent. The CIA sourced the figures from the US Census Bureau’s International Population Estimates and Projections. In August 2023, the Bureau released population estimates and other demographic data up to 2100 for 40 countries and areas in its International Database (IDB). The projected annual population growth rate for the Gaza Strip was 2.02 per cent . The Census Bureau confirmed the CIA World Factbook used data from its IDB update in August 2023, before the conflict began. It does not consider any data after that time. In October 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1200 people and taking 251 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli authorities. Israel’s subsequent assault on Gaza has killed more than 44,000 people, according to Palestinian authorities. The Red Cross estimated that 6400 people were missing in the enclave as of July 2024, The Guardian reported. About 1.9 million people were internally displaced and Gaza’s population was facing disease outbreaks and “catastrophic” food insecurity in October 2024, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification , an initiative involving governments, the UN, NGOs and civil society groups. About 87 per cent of residential homes in the territory had been damaged or destroyed as of November 26, 2024, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said. In July 2024, the UN estimated that the Gaza Strip’s population was 2.1 million, down from the 2.3 million initially projected for 2024 by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS). The UN figure was calculated after consultations with partner organisations and accounted for an estimated 110,000 Palestinians who had exited Gaza through Egypt. In July 2024, the PCBS revised its estimated population growth rate for Gaza from “about 2.7 per cent for 2023, to only about 1 per cent during 2024”. The bureau predicted significant decreases in mortality and birth rates due to “couples’ tendency not to have children as a result of the recent conditions” and a decline in the number of marriages.

Although earnings season is now in the rearview for the majority of TSX stocks, there are still a handful of high-quality companies that have yet to report earnings. Earnings season is always an important time for investors since it gives us an updated look into how businesses are performing. Plus, since there is still so much uncertainty in both the economy and the stock market, this earnings season is even more important to get an idea of how these high-quality TSX stocks are faring in this environment. So, if you’ve got cash on the sidelines you’re looking to put to work, here are three high-quality TSX stocks that analysts expect to report strong earnings this quarter. One of the best TSX stocks that continues to report strong earnings There’s no question that one of the best stocks on the market is ( ). So, many investors will certainly be watching when it reports earnings before the market opens tomorrow, Wednesday, December 4. Analysts estimate that Dollarama will report a 6.2% increase in revenue year over year to just shy of $1.57 billion for the quarter ended October 31st. Furthermore, analysts also estimate that Dollarama’s normalized (EPS) will increase by 6.8% year over year to $0.98. That’s not just another quarter of impressive growth; it also shows how consistent Dollarama is. In fact, Dollarama has grown its sales in every single quarter for more than a decade now. Furthermore, its sales have grown by more than 5% year over year for every quarter dating back to the middle of 2021. Therefore, Dollarama is certainly a stock to watch when it reports earnings tomorrow. A top bank stock expected to report impressive earnings For the quarter that ended on October 31, analysts estimate that CIBC’s revenue will increase to just over $6.5 billion, a jump of 11.6% year over year. Furthermore, and more importantly, analysts predict that its normalized EPS will jump to $1.78, an increase of 13.6% year over year. Plus, in addition to the strong earnings that investors are expecting from the TSX bank stock, CIBC could also increase its dividend this quarter, driving up an already compelling of 4% even higher. Therefore, while it’s always important to keep an eye on how the big banks are performing in Canada, CIBC is especially intriguing this quarter. One of the best retail stocks in Canada While both Dollarama and CIBC are set to report earnings this week, ( ) will report its earnings on January 10 for the quarter that just ended on November 30. As one of the most impressive growth stocks in Canada, many investors will be watching Aritzia closely, especially since analysts expect its stellar growth to continue. Currently, analysts estimate that its revenue will increase to just shy of $700 million for the quarter, a 6.7% jump year over year. Furthermore, Aritzia’s normalized EPS is expected to increase to $0.63, a 34% jump year over year, as Aritzia continues to rebound and see its improved operations help strengthen its . For comparison, in the same quarter last year, Aritzia managed net income margins of just 8.1%, and this quarter, analysts expect margins of 10.5%, which is a massive jump year over year. So, with Aritzia clearly turning its business around and with years of growth potential ahead of it, it’s certainly one of the best stocks to keep your eye on, especially while it continues to trade undervalued. In fact, not only is Aritzia still trading off its all-time high despite posting consistent growth in its revenue and operations, but it’s also trading cheaply according to its valuation metrics. For example, it currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 24.2 times, which is still below its five-year average of 27.8 times. Therefore, if you’re looking for a high-quality stock that’s both cheap and has significant growth potential, Aritzia is certainly a top choice for Canadian investors.Using it SMEs can create a compliant, public-facing CRP, hitting a key requirement for bidding on public sector contracts and partnering with larger companies.

The Cougars, after losing at home to Kansas, still control their own destiny in making the Big 12 championship game. They can clinch a spot in that Dec. 7 game as early as Saturday, if they win and instate rival Utah wins at home against No. 22 Iowa State. Arizona State was picked at the bottom of the 16-team league in the preseason media poll, but already has a five-win improvement in coach Kenny Dillingham's second season. No. 16 Colorado (8-2, 6-1, No. 16 CFP) at Kansas (4-6, 3-4), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (Fox) Coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes are in prime position to make the Big 12 title game in their return to the league after 13 seasons in the Pac-12. If BYU and Utah win, Colorado would be able to claim the other title game spot with a win over Kansas. The Buffs have a four-game winning streak. The Jayhawks need another November win over a ranked Big 12 contender while trying to get bowl eligible for the third season in a row. Kansas has won consecutive games over Top 25 teams for the first time in school history, knocking off Iowa State before BYU. Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht has thrown a touchdown in a school-record 14 consecutive games, while receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel both have more than 800 yards receiving. San Jose State is the only other FBS team with a pair of 800-yard receivers. Becht has 2,628 yards and 17 touchdowns passing for the Cyclones (8-2, 5-2), who are still in Big 12 contention. Oklahoma State goes into its home finale against Texas Tech with a seven-game losing streak, its longest since a nine-game skid from 1977-78. The only longer winless streak since was an 0-10-1 season in 1991. This is Mike Gundy's 20th season as head coach, and his longest losing streak before now was five in a row in 2005, his first season and the last time the Cowboys didn't make a bowl game. ... Baylor plays at Houston for the first time since 1995, the final Southwest Conference season. The Cougars won last year in the only meeting since to even the series 14-14-1. ... Eight Big 12 teams are bowl eligible. As many as six more teams could reach six wins. The Big 12 already has four 1,000-yard rushers, including three who did it last season. UCF's RJ Harvey is the league's top rusher (1,328 yards) and top scorer with 21 touchdowns (19 rushing/two receiving). The others with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons are Texas Tech career rushing leader Tahj Brooks (1,184 yards) and Kansas State's DJ Giddens (1,128 yards). Cam Skattebo with league newcomer Arizona State has 1,074 yards. Devin Neal, the career rushing leader at his hometown university, is 74 yards shy of being the first Kansas player with three 1,000-yard seasons. Cincinnati's Corey Kiner needs 97 yards to reach 1,000 again. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
