There was a brief report on this on Aug. 13 on the late CTV News, and  
the event witnessed that day (Thurs.) included the orcas attacking  
and killing and then feeding on an unfortunate minke whale, all  
witnessed by a whale-watching boat or boats.

The CBC News report on Aug. 14 said that a scientist group on Friday  
also saw some orcas, and got some video and other photos to compare  
with what was gotten on Thursday, so that they might be able to  
identify the pod of orcas involved.

The Aug. 14 newscast also showed footage of at least two humpback  
whales.

On the CBC sign-off, I think they said "George Cove, Newfoundland?",  
but I haven't tried to look that up.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

P.S. The CTV News report on Aug. 13 also said that someone had seen a  
couple of great white sharks, but I didn't hear where that may have  
occurred.
