The House

Death threats, intimidation and assault — all this for baby eels?


Listen Later

It sounds surprising, but baby eels, or elvers, have become big business in Canada. And along with the profits have come poachers — and some serious threats. The House digs into why the government is convinced they need to shut the whole thing down.


But first: It’s been two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war is still going, but has Canada’s attention wavered? Ukraine’s ambassador to Canada discusses that question and more.


Plus — the federal international development minister weighs in on the question of how best to provide aid to Palestinians in Gaza, as the war between Israel and Hamas continues.


This episode features the voices of: 


  • Yulia Kovaliv, Ukrainian ambassador to Canada 
  • Ahmed Hussen, minister of international development 
  • Matt Delong, commercial elver fisher
  • Rick Perkins, Conservative MP 
  • Michael McDonald, Mi’kmaw lawyer
  • Mike Kelloway, Liberal MP
