WestJet warning, NDP’s big weekend, conservation concerns, and more

Documents obtained by CBC News show Transport Canada officials were warned about the risks of WestJet’s reconfigured planes, which limited leg room in many seats. A flight attendant called the new design an ‘imminent safety risk.’

Also: NDP faithful are gathered in Winnipeg this weekend to choose a new leader. The winner will take over a party with just a handful of MPs, and one trying to recover from its worst election result in a half century.

And: The increasing threats to some of the world’s most recognizable animal species, and the new efforts to save them from extinction.

Plus: Canada’s gun buyback program, NASA preps for Artemis launch, Junos weekend, and more.
