Officials seized the creature after noticing its white fur was scattered with brown patches and that it had the long claws and humped back of a grizzly. Now a DNA test has confirmed that it is indeed a hybrid — possibly the first documented in the wild.

It is just a shame that the bear is dead.

T.O. commuters told Stephen Harper ‘eats babies’

Bemused Toronto commuters were repeatedly informed that “Stephen Harper eats babies” after a hacker tampered with advertising signs on city trains.

The scrolling electronic signs that usually carry transit updates and advertisements on Toronto’s westbound Lakeshore GO Transit trains carried the messages Thursday, Friday and Monday after the hacker used a remote-control device to re-program the wording and mock the prime minister.

The ingenious hacker made sure that suburban commuters in at least five different cars continued to get his or her subliminal message.

Commuter Gerry Nicholls said he thought he was hallucinating as he relaxed in his seat for the 35-minute GO train ride between Toronto and his Oakville home.

Every three seconds, the scrolling electronic sign read: “Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies,” Nicholls told the Toronto Star.

The Canadian military has launched an investigation after some of its military clothing and equipment turned up for sale on the Internet, a spokesman for the Department of National Defence has said. Several pieces of the military’s specialised camouflage gear were, until recently, up for sale on eBay, igniting concerns about the security of Canadian troops. The items were removed from the site. “They appear to be Canadian forces uniforms or equipment,” said Capt. Mark Giles, a member of the military’s National Investigation Service in Ottawa, noting the military plans to contact eBay about the matter. Some pieces of the camouflage uniform, currently being worn by Canadian troops in Afghanistan, were being sold for just a few hundred dollars, domestic media reported. It is illegal for anyone but military personnel to own or wear uniforms being used in active duty.
