Melanie Andrecyk and some of her neighbours in Stellarton, N.S., say they have caught eight bunnies. Melanie Andrecyk said she spotted her first rabbit in October, which she initially assumed was a lost pet. Andrecyk said the animals are a domestic breed of dwarf rabbits. "It's just horrible, you know, they're starving, they're cold, they're skinny and they're looking for food," Andrecyk told CBC Radio's Maritime Noon on Tuesday. "Stellarton does not have a bylaw that would enable our staff to enforce anything with domesticated bunnies getting loose," Hidgon said.

The federal Conservatives are demanding that the Liberal government donate to Ukraine tens of thousands of surplus air-to-ground rockets that are slated for disposal. The Canadian Armed Forces has a stockpile of 83,303 CRV7 rockets, a 1980s-vintage weapon that was taken out of service in the early 2000s. Poilievre said he understands Ukraine has asked Canada to donate the CRV7s instead of destroying them. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called on the federal government to donate surplus rockets in storage to Ukraine.

TORONTO — Connor McDavid helped the NHL revamp its sagging skills competition. McDavid won the fastest skater, stickhandling, shooting accuracy and obstacle course events Friday after assisting the league in re-imagining a part of the all-star weekend that had lost much of its lustre in recent years.

Catherine Tait says CBC needs new financial model, not new mandate Feb 2, 2024 | 1:07 PMOTTAWA — The head of Canada’s public broadcaster says it’s the financial model and governance of CBC/Radio-Canada that need reviewing — not its mandate. Catherine Tait made the comments today to a room of industry insiders at Prime Time, a conference for the broadcasting, film and media industry. Tait is pushing for a long-term financial structure such as a charter, similar to that at the BBC, which has a six-year funding agreement with the U.K. government. She says CBC gets its annual funding based on the parliamentary cycle, leaving the broadcaster in a perpetual state of uncertainty.

(Darrell Roberts/CBC)Corner Brook MHA and former provincial fisheries minister Gerry Byrne says Newfoundland and Labrador deserves a higher allocation of redfish this season, and believes the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans is "intellectually and morally bankrupt" in its decision-making. Federal Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier announced the redfish allocation for the Atlantic provinces in the Gulf of St. Lawrence last Friday. "The Gulf of St. Lawrence's return to [the] redfish fishery story should be a story of D.F.O. If he were minister, Byrne said, he would have allocated numbers more closely based on historical figures. He plans to bring that up in a meeting with DFO, current Fisheries Minister Elvis Loveless and provincial stakeholders on Friday.
