I wonder why anyone would do such a thing, since the tuner will not stop or skip without the tabs on the wheel.
If, however, the screws holding the tabs to the wheel are what's missing, you may be able to find replacements for them; that or else you might look around for a junked set that has the wheel intact--tabs, screws and all.
I don't know if you still have analog TV in Canada (here in the US the analog NTSC channels were done away with over five years ago, so now all that's left are digital channels), but if your service is anything like what we have here, you will only need to set the VHF channel selector on your TV to channel 3 or 4 to receive the output from your cable box or OTA converter box. I seem to remember another Canadian VK member (Robb in Toronto, IIRC), however, who said in one of his recent posts that there are still analog TV channels in Canada; the country hasn't mandated that all TV stations switch to digital, as our government did. If you still have analog channels in your area, you can use your Zenith TV as is for OTA reception using an antenna. However, I would think the only analog channels you will receive are the Canadian ones from Halifax; the American stations, if you can get U.S. TV from where you are (I think you are within range of several East Coast cities), are now all digital (as I mentioned above) and cannot be received using unmodified televisions.
