In an unassuming building in Stratford, east London, British start-up Better Dairy is making cheese that has never seen an udder, which it argues tastes like the real thing.
It is one of a handful of companies around the world hoping to bring lab-grown cheese to our dinner tables in the next few years.
But there has been a trend away from meat-free foods recently, according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
Even here, among the sparsely populated lakes and thickly forested hills of the Laurentians, it is hard for an American not to feel the anger and incredulity President Trump has stoked with his tariffs, talk of a 51st state and offhand insults.
Much of that may be lost on Americans buffeted by the ceaseless rush of crises and clashes generated by the president’s agenda. But up here, in what used to be the most friendly neighbor a country could possibly ask for, the rage is tangible.
A TDS suffering author from Quebec no less.
“It’s 12 noon in London, 7 a.m. in Philadelphia, and around the world it’s time for Live Aid.”
This television announcement on July 13, 1985, heralded over 16 hours of music broadcast from Wembley Stadium in London and John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia that united close to 2 billion people across more than 100 countries.
Live Aid was no ordinary gig. With the primary aim of raising funds for famine relief in drought-stricken Ethiopia, it was the largest satellite linkup and television broadcast of its time.
Oh No! It lacked diversity!
Once a Team Canada Olympic snowboarder, Ryan James Wedding has spent more than 10 years on the run from authorities, while allegedly leading a murderous, transnational drug-smuggling empire.
Listed as one of the FBI’s ten most-wanted fugitives since March, the U.S. State Department is offering a $10-million US reward for information leading to his arrest.
So, how has Wedding, 43, evaded capture for so long?
Several people were hurt in a second night of anti-migrant unrest in the town of Torre Pacheco in south-east Spain after a pensioner was beaten up, authorities said.
Despite a major police presence, groups armed with batons roamed the streets looking for people with foreign origins, the regional newspaper La Opinión de Murcia reported.
The regional government did not say how many people were injured but stated that at least one person had been arrested over the violence.
Translation – This is how they instill terror in #TorrePacheco, those of the religion of peace. Pure talent from those who will pay our pensions and don’t eat ham.
We wish Domingo a speedy and good recovery, and much strength and courage to face this situation, as well as for his family.
Así infunden el terror en #TorrePacheco los de la religión de paz. Puro talento de los que van a pagar nuestras pensiones y no comen jamón.
Deseamos un pronta y buena recuperación a Domingo y mucho ánimo y fuerzas para afrontar esta situación, también para su familia. pic.twitter.com/DyJybDIatQ— Jose Garre (@JoseGarreTP) July 10, 2025

The powers that be are deleting tweets with this footage.
We are now close to the litmus test of the new Carney government as it approaches the bifurcation between the road to sensible fiscal and environmental policy and the road over the cliff into total war against the oil and gas industry and the piling on of taxes and higher gasoline and fuel costs in pursuit of a tokenistic reduction in Canada’s minimal contribution to world carbon use. So far, we have generally had inconclusive indications of attempts to straddle these irreconcilable options. There have been references to a ”carbon-neutral pipeline,” (a nonsensical idea), and fuzzy comments about how to pay for the prime minister’s vertiginously expensive doomsday climate wish list, including a referendum on tax increases.
Police have launched a hate incident investigation after a bonfire topped with an effigy depicting Channel migrants was set alight in Northern Ireland.
A boat carrying mannequins wearing lifejackets topped the towering bonfire in Moygashel, County Tyrone. Banners which read “stop the boats”, “veterans before refugees” and “stop illegal immigration” were fixed to the pallets. An Irish tricolour flag was also placed on the tower.
The Irish are done! Bonfire in Moygashel set to protest invasion of unwanted foreigners. What a beautiful sight! pic.twitter.com/AqARi45TtV

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says his government has been discussing possible policy around involuntary care for those with substance addictions.
Moe made the comments during an unrelated news conference in North Battleford on July 9.
“We’ve seen the conversation move forward in Alberta with respect to compassionate care. British Colombia is having a discussion about it. I think very much in this province, we’ve been having much of that discussion in the weeks and months gone by,” Moe said in response to a reporter’s question on substance abuse treatments.
Anti-Semitism has become normalised in middle-class Britain, a Government-backed report has found.
The review, co-authored by Lord Mann, the Government’s anti-Semitism adviser, and Dame Penny Mordaunt, the former defence secretary, warned that Jewish people in the UK were suffering increasing prejudice “in our professions, cultural life [and] public services” and felt they were “tolerated rather than being respected”.
The report, commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the country’s largest Jewish community organisation, found anti-Semitism to be pervasive in the NHS, at universities and in the arts.
The controversial departure of Travis Dhanraj from the CBC might have, according to his former employers’ spokesperson, “saddened” their top brass. But it was treated with great delight by Conservatives who have long doubted whether the Crown Corporation’s slavish adherence to diversity in terms of colour, gender, sexuality, and ethic origin extended to the realms of intellectual and ideological debate.
Germany’s highest administrative court has dealt a major blow to the government’s migration policies, ruling that Berlin must grant entry visas to thousands of Afghan migrants.
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul confirmed that the ruling is “legally binding,” therefore Germany has to “honour its promises.”
The decision follows a landmark case brought by an Afghan woman and her family, who were guaranteed relocation to Germany under the federal resettlement programme in October 2023 but have since been stranded in Pakistan.
A Mississauga-based beauty pageant for women and girls is urging Ontario’s human rights tribunal to dismiss a complaint brought by a transgender activist, saying the case has dragged on for years despite repeated delays and incomplete filings.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announced this week that it has asked the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario to throw out the 2019 complaint filed by Jessica Simpson, also known as Jessica Yaniv.
In recent days, nearly everyone has weighed in on supply management – especially after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his longstanding opposition to the policy.
In a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, he threatened to impose new tariffs of up to 35% by Aug. 1, reigniting old debates. In response, the media has scrambled to feature a range of voices, many of whom lack any real understanding of the policy’s complexities. Some of the most misleading statements have come from high-profile commentators and political figures who have never seriously studied the system
We aren’t even six months into President Donald Trump’s second term, and so much has changed. The president himself gave us a bracing reminded of that on Tuesday, when he upbraided the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the woke leftist Gen. Mark Milley, for leaving behind billions of dollars’ worth of military hardware as the U.S. ignominiously cut and run from Afghanistan in August 2021.
With new footage emerging from the Manchester Airport fracas, where a female police officer’s nose was broken, violence against law enforcement has once again been thrust into the spotlight.
Brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad are on trial for their part in the brawl with Great Manchester Police in the airport last July. Police officers had sought to arrest Amaaz after he was alleged to have headbutted another man, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, before a violent scuffle ensued. Jurors were shown footage of the incident’s aftermath, in which PC Lydia Ward was left with blood streaming from her nose. The officer — who is on record as describing herself as “petite” at 5’2” and eight stone — told the court that she was “absolutely terrified” during the experience.
